Titanium and the Environment:
-hypoallergenic
-one of the most environmentally friendly metals
-The low weight of Ti reduces fuel consumption in aircraft, ships and land vehicles
-reduces land, water or air pollution from corrosion failure of process plant
-Recyclable resistance to corrosion reduces metal loss and energy input for repair/replacement
-Overall impact: Good

Mining:
-It is mined in China, Russia, Australia, Canada, India, Norway, South Africa, Ukraine, and the United States [Arkansas].
-Mined using strip mining
-soil is sent to factories where they take out the ore.
-Ti found in rutile and ilmenite
-extracted using electrolytic deoxidation process
-heated to 1,652°F (900°C) and the subsequent chemical reaction results in the creation of impure titanium tetrachloride (TiCl4)
