摘要:
This invention relates to a process for beneficiating a titaniferous ore. The process comprises calcining the titaniferous ore, at least one alkali or alkaline earth metal salt, and at least one alumina-containing material in the presence of oxygen to form a calcined ore mixture, then leaching the calcined ore mixture with a solution comprising ammonium. sodium or magnesium chloride in the presence of oxygen to form a leached ore mixture, and contacting the leached ore with an acid to form a beneficiated ore.
摘要:
Processes for the efficient and economical beneficiation of titaniferous ore are provided. A unique process for beneficiating ore comprising pretreatment of the ore by oxidation and reduction, followed by acid leaching with sulfuric acid has been developed. The acid used in this process may be recycled, which will thereby increase the efficiency of the process. Preferably the ore treated according to the present invention is ilmenite ore.
摘要:
A process for obtaining synthetic rutile with low contents of rare earth and radioactive elements from anatase mechanical concentrates, comprising the following sequential operations: calcination (1) of the anatase concentrate in a fluidized bed or rotary kiln wherein hydrated iron oxides are converted into hematite after hydration water is removed, providing a reduction in the time required for next step; reduction (2) of the calcined product, in a fluidized bed or rotary kiln, using hydrogen, natural gas or any carbon based reducing agent such as metallurgical coke, charcoal, petroleum coke, graphite, among others, the result of which is the transformation of 15 allurgical coke, charcoal, petroleum coke, graphite, among others, the result of which is the transformation of hematite into magnetite; dry or wet low-intensity magnetic separation (3) of the reduced product, high-intensity, high-gradient magnetic separation (4) of the low-intensity non-magnetic fraction, extracting silicates, secondary phosphates, monazite, calzirtite, zircolinite and uranium and thorium-containing minerals; leaching (5) of the magnetic fraction of the high-intensity, high-gradient separation in agitated tanks or fluidized bed columns, with a solution providing solubilization of impurities rich in iron, aluminium, phosphates, magnesium, barium, calcium, strontium, rare earths, uranium and thorium; filtering of the leached product drying of the filtered product oxidation (6) of the dried product in the presence of a mixture of the following substances, alkali, metal sulphates (mainly lithium, sodium and potassium), alkali metal carbonates (mainly lithium, sodium and potassium), phosphoric acid (H3PO4) and, eventually, sodium chroride; quenching of the oxidized product in water or compressed air; leaching (7) of the queched product in agitated tanks or colums, filtering of the product from the second leaching (7) in a belt filter; and drying of the filtered product in a rotary or fluidized bed drier, dry, high-intensity, high-gradient magnetic separation (8) of the product of the second leaching, in rare-earth permanent magnet, discarding of the magnetic fraction and recovering the non-magnetic fraction as final product (P), that is, the synthetic rutile of interest.
摘要:
A method of producing titanium metal from a titanium-containing material includes the steps of producing a solution of M'TiF6 from the titanium-containing material, selectively precipitating M'2TiF6 from the solution by the addition of (M')aXb and using the selectively precipitated M'2TiF6 to produce titanium. M' is a cation of the type which forms a hexafluorotitanate, M' is selected from ammonium and the alkali metal cations, X is an anion selected from halide, sulphate, nitrite, acetate and nitrate and a and b are 1 or 2.
摘要:
The invention relates to a process for purifying inorganic materials by treating the materials with a solution of hydrogen fluoride in aqueous hydrofluorosilicic acid. The process involves treating an inorganic material containing at least two species, to at least partially separate a first species contained in the material from a second species contained in the material, and comprises treating the material with a fluorine acid solution comprising aqueous hydrofluorosilicic acid and hydrofluoric acid (HF), such that the first species is converted to a product selected from the group consisting of a fluoride, a fluorosilicate and mixtures thereof, and such that the second species is at least partly unreacted, and separating the second species from the product.
摘要:
A titanium dioxide compound was isolated from a rare type of naturally occurring ore. Processes for efficiently isolating and obtaining these TiO2 compounds, as well as methods for using them have been developed. These TiO2 compounds may be used directly in applications such as paper, plastics and paints without being subjected to the chloride or sulfate processes. Also they made be used as a feedstock for the chloride or sulfate processes. In order to obtain these TiO2 compounds, one may grind or pulverize the naturally occurring ore, disperse it in a solution or suspension, and process it by selective flocculation or aqueous biphasic extraction.
