Abstract:
      Titanium in ilmenite was transformed to titanyl sulfate soluble in dilute sulfuric acid by melting reaction applying ilmenite and ammonium sulfate as main raw materials. Ammonium sulfate can be generated by ammonia gas from calcination and spent acid hydrolysis from hydrolysis. In this article, microwave leaching was substituted to water leaching. Effects of microwave power, microwave time, leaching temperature, and concentration of sulfuric acid on titanium leaching rate were investigated by single factor test and orthogonal test respectively. The results show that titanium leaching rate is 96.99% and rutile of final products titanium dioxide crystalline is 70.75% under the optimum conditions include particle size of -0.053 mm, microwave power of 4 kW, microwave time of 5 h, concentration of sulfuric acid of 30%, and leaching temperature of 70 ℃.
