General Travancore Titanium Products Limited is currently producing TiO2, antase grade, through the sulphate route. Ilmenite, a mixed oxide of titanium, ferrous iron and ferric iron is the main raw material for the production of titanium dioxide pigment.  Ilmenite is reacted with sulfuric acid in reinforced cement concrete tanks called Digesters, lined with lead and acid resistant bricks.  Exothermic reaction is initiated by the heat of dilution of the acid with water and a porous cake is formed.  The mass in the solid form is dissolved in dilute sulphuric acid to get titanium  in solution as titanium oxy sulphate (TiOSO4) along with other metallic ingradients in ilmenite as their sulphate. The liqour is reduced using scrap iron, when the ferric iron gets completly reduced to the ferrous state.
