Desalinization

DESALINIZATION PROCESSES
Titanium is one of those metals that resists corrosion, so it's great for uses around salt water. There are plants across the world that take seawater and make freshwater. Those plants are likely to have a few pieces of equipment made with titanium.
AIRCRAFT
Titanium is a very strong and light metal. It and related alloys are perfect for use in aircraft that need strength and lightweight to fly.
Airplane

Paints

PAINTS
Whether you are painting a masterpiece or painting your walls at home, you probably are using a color that has trace amounts of titanium. Titanium oxide is a common compound in many paints.
ROCKS AND MINERALS
We suppose it makes sense that you have to get titanium from somewhere. It's not a gas, to you'll probably find it in the Earth. Many rocks and minerals have trace amounts of titanium in the form of several compounds. The titanium then needs to be refined so that we can use it in industry.

STAR SAPPHIRE
