The Kerala Minerals and Metals Limited (KMML) has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with the Council of Scientific & Industrial Research (CSIR) under the National Institute for Interdisciplinary Science & Technology ( NIIST) to extract scandium from the spent acid used for the beneficiation of ilmenite at the pigment unit.

India suffers dreadfully from the “not invented or mined here syndrome”. If they didn’t they’d just give CleanTech a call and ask them to install a unit on the side of that titanium dioxide factory.
It’s all already been invented, just has to be installed.
