ABSTRACT:
Synthetic rutile is produced from a titaniferous slag derived from ilmenite. Ilmenite concentrates are reduction smelted to remove iron as a high grade pig iron byproduct and to enrich the remaining slag phase in titanium. Oxidation of the slag and aging at high temperature in the presence of a titanium pyrophosphate flux converts the titanium bearing phases to discrete rutile crystals and a phosphate glass phase containing most of the associated impurities. Rutile is separated from the glassy matrix by attrition scrubbing aged, ground slag in dilute mineral acid solutions.
