Hydrogen Reduction
Hydrogen reduction of ilmenite is one method of LUNOX extraction currently being tested by many Universities. Resulting products of the reaction are free iron, titanium dioxide, and water. Resulting water can be removed by condensation and separated via electrolysis to produce LUNOX and H2(hydrogen) molecules which can be recycled back into the reaction.
