Rutile is a mineral composed of titanium dioxide (TiO2) and is used as a feedstock for the production of titanium metal, pigments, and other products. Natural rutile is the most common form of TiO2, but synthetic rutile is also produced through the Becher process. Synthetic rutile is generally considered to be more economical than natural rutile, as it is produced from ilmenite, which is more abundant than natural rutile. However, the cost of synthetic rutile can vary depending on the quality of the ilmenite used and the production process.

In summary, synthetic rutile is generally considered to be more economical than natural rutile, but the cost can vary depending on the quality of the ilmenite used and the production process.
