Global rutile production is low, mainly due to its scarcity. Production of zircon sand is historically cyclical, and periods of shortage occur due to under-supply, as zircon is often extracted as a by-product in mineral sand mining for titanium minerals (Perks and Mudd 2019, 2020, 2021).

Z ircon (ZrSiO 4) is found usually as a constituent in heavy mineral sand assemblages, which include ilmenite, rutile, leucoxene, monazite and garnet in varying proportions. Zircon sand and baddeleyite (an oxide-ZrO 2) are used via their salts to extract zirconium and hafnium. Normally, all zirconium compounds contain between 1.4% and 3% hafnium.
