ABSTRACT:
Titanium metal values are recovered from a titanium bearing source such as an ilmenite ore by subjecting the source to a reductive roast and leaching the reduced source with a halogen-containing compound. Following this the soluble metal halides are separated from gangue and the pregnant leach liquor if treated with an iron oxide such as ferric oxide to precipitate titanium dioxide. The nucleation of the titanium dioxide may be improved by using a large excess of ferric oxide in the precipitation step. The improvement will thus result in an increased yield of the desired titanium dioxide.
