Division 25Production of synthetic rutile

### Division 25—Production of synthetic rutile 325 (1) The production of synthetic rutile is the chemical transformation of ilmenite ore (ore containing FeTiO3) through the reduction of iron oxides in order to increase the titanium dioxide (TiO2) concentration to produce synthetic rutile that: (a) has a titanium dioxide (TiO2) concentration of at least 88% but less than 95.5%; and (b) has an iron (Fe) concentration greater than 0.5%. (2) The production of synthetic rutile is specified as an emissions‑intensive trade‑exposed activity. (3) The production of synthetic rutile is a highly emissions‑intensive activity. > Note: See Part 4. (4) The basis for the issue of free carbon units for the production of synthetic rutile is by a tonne of synthetic rutile that: (a) has a titanium dioxide (TiO2) concentration of at least 88% but less than 95.5%; and (b) has an iron (Fe) concentration greater than 0.5%; and (c) is produced by carrying on the emissions‑intensive trade‑exposed activity; and (d) is not a relevant product for the emissions‑intensive trade‑exposed activity of production of white titanium dioxide (TiO2) pigment; and (e) is of saleable quality. > Note: Relevant product and saleable quality are explained in Part 2.
