Iluka's mineral sands yield zircon (ZrSiO4) for ceramics and titanium minerals for white pigment. Carbothermal chlorination of rutile produces TiCl4, then oxidation yields TiO2 pigment — the whitest white in paint and sunscreen.

Coromandel's multi-step synthesis — from simple aromatics to complex heterocyclic crop protection actives — demonstrates India's growing role in global fine chemistry supply chains. Purity and precision at competitive cost.

SMM's matte chlorine leach electrowinning process refines nickel from Ni matte to 99.99% purity — a hydrometallurgical route that also recovers cobalt and copper. Battery-grade nickel sulfate for NCM cathodes starts here.
