Abstract

In this study, a novel process for preparation rich-titanium material from modified titanium slag after melting in electric furnace by ammonium hydrogen fluoride leaching and hydrochloric acid leaching was proposed. The thermodynamic analysis of ammonium hydrogen fluoride leaching and hydrochloric acid leaching were investigated. The thermodynamic results of ammonium hydrogen fluoride leaching indicated that a small part of anosovite and the silicate can be decomposed, the silicate react with ammonium hydrogen fluoride leaching to produce sediment (CaMg2Al2F12), CaF2 and AlF3. The element of Si was converted to (NH4)2SiF6 existed in solution. The effects of ammonium hydrogen fluoride leaching conditions on the impurities extraction rate were investigated. The results indicated that the extraction rate of Si, Al, Ti, Fe, Ca and Mg were 93.55wt%, 28.03wt%, 3.88wt%, 20.50wt%, 3.40wt% and 2.45wt% respectively when the concentration of ammonium hydrogen fluoride was 15wt%, the liquid-solid ratio was 10:1, the temperature was 20℃ and the time was 2 h. The XRD results showed that the main phases in residue were rutile, anosovite and sediment (CaMg2Al2F12), the diopside was decomposed by ammonium hydrogen fluoride leaching. The thermodynamic results of hydrochloric acid leaching indicated that the sediment (CaMg2Al2F12), CaF2, AlF3 and the residual anovosite was decomposed by hydrochloric acid leaching. The effects of hydrochloric acid leaching conditions on the impurities extraction rate were investigated. The results of hydrochloric acid leaching indicated that the extraction rate of Ca, Al, Mg, Ti, Si and Fe were 86.78wt%, 62.33wt%, 92.31wt%, 18.08wt%, 40.23wt% and 75.36wt% respectively when the concentration of hydrochloric acid was 20wt%, the liquid-solid ratio was 8:1, the temperature was 120℃ and the time was 2 h. The main phase after hydrochloric acid leaching was rutile. The XRD results indicated that the sediment (CaMg2Al2F12) phase was solute by hydrochloric acid leaching. The titanium dioxide grade in rich-titanium material was 95.20wt%, the content of CaO was 0.49wt%, and the content of MgO was 0.48wt% which meet the need of boiling chlorination charge.
