Global distribution, genesis, exploitation, applications, production …
Global rutile production is low, mainly due to its scarcity. Production of zircon sand is historically cyclical, and periods of shortage occur due to under-supply, as zircon is often extracted as a by-product in mineral sand mining for titanium minerals (Perks and Mudd 2019, 2020, 2021).
