RE:World Conference - Argex Titanium - Message from Chairman
"Both the chloride and sulfate processes for making TiO2 are now more than 50 years old. A new type of process, entailing hydrochloric acid leaching and a series of organic solvent extraction steps, is poised for commercial-scale employment by Argex at a plant in Quebec. This holds out the promise of a lower carbon footprint, with high-quality TiO2 being produced at a lower overall unit operating cost. How will this potentially disruptive technology affect the dynamics of the TiO2 value-chain?"
