— Australia has the world's largest resources of zircon (about 35% of the world's zircon). Australia also produces more zircon than any other country; in 2016 alone, 560 kt of zircon concentrate was exported from Australia. Most of this material was extracted from heavy mineral sand deposits in Victoria and Western Australia.

Introduction. Australia is a major world producer of titanium and zirconium minerals from mineral sand deposits. The principal heavy minerals of commercial value recovered from these deposits are ilmenite (FeTiO 3), rutile (TiO 2), and zircon (ZrSiO 4).According to Geoscience Australia, Australia has the world's largest economic resources of rutile and …

heavy mineral concentrate, zircon is separated, beneficiated and commercialised as zircon sand (zircon). In some cases, an intermediate zircon concentrate is exported to processing plants in China. Zircon sand is either used directly in certain applications (e.g. foundry sands) or processed to produce zirconium chemical compounds (e.g. Zirconia)

Mineral sand deposits in the Murray Basin offer the potential for significantly expanding Australia's production of ilmenite, rutile and zircon. Since prices of zircon and rutile are higher than ilmenite, and zircon grades in most deposits are significantly higher than those for rutile, zircon often is the major economic mineral component in mineral sand …
