QIT Blue Dust :

QIT stands for Quebec Iron and Titanium, it owns an ilmemite mine in northeastern Quebec.
The ore is shipped to Tracy, Quebec where it is processed to titanium dioxide slags, iron pigs,
steel billets, and steel auto parts. This dust comes from the reduction kilns in which the ore is
separated into titanium dioxide slag and iron. It is a waste material.
The general formula of QIT Blue Dust is as follows:

FEO                      33%
SIO2                     17%
AL2O3                 7.0%
TIO2                    33%
CAO                     2.0%
MGO                    7.0%
KNAO                  1.0%
TOTAL                100%

It was 170 mesh sieved.

A theoritical substitution is as follows for 1% of the stuff:

Red Iron Oxide                       0.310
Silica                                      0.020
EPK                                      0.110
Rutile                                     0.290
Dolomite                               0.050
