The ninth most abundant element in the Earth's crust, it can be extracted from ilmenite and rutile using either the Hunter process or the commercialized Kroll process.
The chloride of this paramagnetic metal is useful as a Ziegler-Natta catalyst to produce polyolefins, while its dioxide is used as a white pigment and photocatalyst. The ninth most abundant element in the Earth's crust, it can be extracted from ilmenite and rutile using either the Hunter process or the commercialized Kroll process. Its ability to osseointegrate makes it useful in medical prostheses and implants, and its dioxide has found use as a UV absorber in sunscreens. FTP, name this transitional metal that has a higher strength-to-weight ratio than aluminum, with atomic number 22 and symbol Ti.
