In this study, some aspects of mechanical activation and its effect on treatment of ilmenite concentrate were reviewed. Referring to the extensive researches have been done, ball milling is a promising method in the treatment of ilmenite concentrate. Comparing the works done on Kahnooj titanium complex and results of mechanical activation on other ilmenite concentrates, it can be pointed out that the combination of ERMS and mechanical activation can lead to a promising method for industry.
