The physical and chemical properties of the cake from nitric-acid leaching of titanium production sludge were analyzed. The majority of silicon in the cake exists as quartz, albite, sillimanite, and sodium aluminosilicate. Titanium is mainly present in the form of rutile and titanium aluminum oxide. The optimal parameters for the fluoroammonium processing of the cake were determined. The resulting products were high-purity titanium and silicon dioxide.
We present the results of the physical and chemical properties of cake from nitric-acid leaching of titanium production sludge. It was found that all silicon in the cake is in the form of quartz, albite, sillimanite, sodium aluminosilicate. In total, these minerals make up the majority of the cake 60.24%. Titanium is presented in the form of rutile, titanium aluminum oxide, which in total is 35.56%. Iron is part of sillimanite and hematite, the total content of which is about 4.2%. The optimal parameters of fluoroammonium processing of cake were determined: silicon distillation into sublimates at 300 degrees C for 6 hours, sublimation of titanium in the form of titanium tetrafluoride at 800 degrees C for 2 hours. The process of alkaline hydrolysis of sublimates of fluoride compounds and cinder was carried out. Purification of impurities and calcination of hydrated titanium dioxide were carried out. The resulting titanium and silicon dioxide products contain: 96.2% TiO2, 88 % SiO2, respectively; a niobium-containing intermediate product with a content of 11.6 % Nb2O5 was also obtained.
