“…In addition to titanite and titanomagnetite, the apatite-nepheline deposits contain numerous pegmatites with rare titanium minerals that have important functional properties, for example, ferroelectric loparite-(Ce) [2], molecular sieve chivruaiite [3,4] (Ca-analog of synthetic microporous titanosilicate ETS-4 [5,6]), cation exchangers kukisvumite and punkaruaivite [7][8][9][10] (respectively, Zn and Li analogues of synthetic titanosilicate AM-4 [11,12]), cation exchangers sitinakite [13] (natural analogue of synthetic titanosilicate Ionsiv IE-911 [14][15][16]), and minerals of the ivanyukite group [17][18][19][20]. Besides, these and other synthetic titanium-based compounds (ETS-2, ETS-10, JDF-L1, LHT-9, MIL-125, etc.)…”
