The slag which is produced in an ilmenite smelter contains X% FeO, Y% TiO2 and Z% Ti2O3. The feeds to the smelter are pure ilmenite (FeTiO3) and pure carbon. Liquid iron which contains A% C (and the balance Fe) is tapped together with the slag. The liquidus temperature of the slag is approximately 1620C; assume that all the products leave the furnace at this temperature.
