Process for Manufacture of High Grade Synthetic Rutile
Description
The process aimed at increasing the TiO2 content by (1) high
temperature reduction of ilmenite with coal in a rotary kiln
(2) leaching of metallic iron from reduced ilmenite route
with an accelerated corrosion process in stirred reactor.
The major advantages is the regeneration of iron. And iron
oxide without resorting to acid leaching. And acid regeneration
thus helping to overcome the problem of acidic effluents also.
