Some Conclusions from Mare Soil studyIlmenite Concentrates in Intermediate Magnetic Susceptibilities of60-160 m cc/gm; this is in distinct contrast to terrestrial ilmenite;Ilmenite Abundance Decreases as Maturity Increases.Best Soil for Ilmenite Recovery = Immature Hi-Ti Mare Soil.Major Portion of Ilmenite is in Coarse-Grained Basalts FragmentsIn the >74 micron Fractions; Grinding of the >74 micron Soil isNecessary to Liberate these IlmenitesAlthough ~50% of the Ilmenite in a Hi-Ti Soil can be Recovered byMagnetic Separation, it may be difficult to “high-grade”;Estimated that about 0.1 lb. of Ilmenite of an Immature Hi-Ti Mare soilCan be Recovered per Pound of Soil.
