Answer: Minerals that are mined for titanium are ilmenite and rutile.
Explanation:
Titanium is the 22nd element of the periodic table. It symbol is "Ti"
The minerals which are mined to extract titanium are ilmenite [tex](FeTiO_3)[/tex] and Rutile [tex](TiO_2)[/tex]
Titanium is extracted from ilmenite with a process of acid leaching using fluorosilicic acid [tex](H_2SiF_6)[/tex]
Titanium is extracted from rutile by converting it into titanium(IV) chloride, and then reducing it to titanium using either magnesium or sodium.
Therefore, Mineral that are used to mine Titanium are ilmenite and rutile.
