Electron Microscopic Studies of Ilmenite from the Chhatrapur Coast, Odisha, India, and Their Implications in Processing
Figure 5
Micromorphological studies of ilmenite grains from Chhatrapur area: (a) rounded grains being pitted and fractured along a linear direction which could be due to mechanical collision of grains. (b) Deposition of foreign materials along the fractures as well as grooves of the ilmenite grains. (c and d) Platy grains having been leached out leaving behind pits/groves.
