investigation of titaniferous iron sand along the southrn coast of java island has been carried out by the geological survey of indonesia since 1972. However, systematic detailed exploration by the directorate of mineral resources started only in 1979. the result of each investigation since then, has been presented in the coop annual meeting.
The processing of concentrates of ilmenite and titanomagnetite in an induction-coupled plasma torch is decribed. A mixture of FeO and TiO2 was produced from ilmenite and a mixture of FeO, TiO2 and Fe2O3 from titanomagnetite. The result indicate that plasma proccesing of these minerals may be useful in indutrial applcations.
