摘要：The profession of mining is second only to agriculture in terms of its lineage. Not just does it form thebackbone of a country’s economy but it also generates a huge resource of employment opportunities. India as a countryis endowed with huge reserves of many minerals. The current study focuses on evaluation of the conventionalspectrophotometric technique used for quantification of trace amounts of titanium in bauxite and iron ores post miningagainst the advanced Neutron Activation Analysis (NAA) and Atomic Absorption Spectrometry (AAS) techniques.Results obtained for titanium estimation in bauxite ores using spectrophotometric technique indicated over-estimationover those obtained by AAS and NAA. However the same technique failed to detect titanium in iron ores despite itspresence being reported by AAS and NAA respectively. Further despite concentration of titanium in bauxite oresdiffering significantly using the three methods there was observed almost near unity correlation with the estimations bythese methods indicating linearity of relation. The data thus supported utility of spectrophotometric method as apredictor of results obtained by AAS and NAA methods in the case of bauxite ores. However no such conclusion couldbe arrived at for estimation of titanium in iron ores.
