ilmenite (60% - 75% TiO2), leucoxene (76% - 90% TiO2) and rutile (95% TiO2) [7]. On the other hand, in alluvial sediments, ilmenite alters and Fe is partially leached in a conti nuous process going to pseudorutile (Fe2Ti3O9) and leucoxene [8]. For that reason, titanium and iron content in the ilmenite may vary significantly, as it can be
