The Hopes Are High For The Ban To Be Uplifted

Illegal Sand Mining

 R Balaji describes the heavy mineral mining industry’s current scenario in a recent news story on the Hindu Business line. He states that the industry is currently at a standstill because the Government has banned beach mineral mining across the state last year in the month of August, due to some complaints of illegal sand mining

The government apparently had ordered an enquiry last year but no verdict has been passed yet. VV Minerals, India, the largest heavy mineral mining company in the country is responsible for more than three quarters of the beach mineral mining activity in Tamil Nadu. However, it is shut down because of this ban, resulting in unemployment to over many thousands of people and loss of the nation’s economy. 

In a statement given by Mr. V Subramanian, the Managing Partner of VV Minerals, India, he stated that this ban has handicapped the domestic industry. According to his knowledge, the industry contributes to about Rs. 3500 crore in foreign exchange. The State Government is also losing out on annual revenues of Rs. 200 crore in royalty apart from taxes, he said

With the unimaginable losses already suffered by the private companies dealing with heavy mineral mining, they are collectively urging the government to fasten the process of this inquiry and punish only the ones who have done wrong instead of making the entire industry suffer.

VV Minerals is privately owned by Mr. S Vaikundarajan. The top management includes Mr. V. Subramanian, Mr. J Muthurajan and Mr. Jegatheesan.

Welding Electrodes Using Rutile And Ilmenite

Rutile and Ilmenite
Rutile and ilmenite are heavy minerals mostly found in form of placer mineral deposits on the surface of sea shores and river banks. They are extracted using heavy mineral mining and are separated through various separation processes like gravity separation and magnetic separation. They are mainly used for industrial applications such as in the making of Titanium metal, as colouring agents, ceramic and glass products. Ilmenite is mainly used for making white walled tyres, glazed papers, plastic, printed fabrics, flooring materials like linoleum, pharmaceuticals, soaps face powders and other cosmetic products. And Rutile is mainly used for car paints, sunscreens, plastics, paper and textiles, as well as a growing number of foodstuffs and cosmetics.

Enriched concentrate of ilmenite is used for production of welding electrodes of rutile. The principal industrial application of rutile is in the manufacture of titanium dioxide or synthetic rutile and welding rod coating.

However, ilmenite coatings are considered to be inferior to rutile coatings on welding electrodes. Although ilmenite is considerably cheaper than Rutile, Rutile electrodes are preferred over ilmenite welding electrodes.
