Mechanism and kinetics study of sulfuric acid leaching of titanium from titanium-bearing electric furnace slag

The sulfuric acid leaching of titanium from titanium-bearing electric furnace slag (TEFS) was investigated under different experimental conditions. In the sulfuric acid leaching process, the MxTi3-xO5(0≤x≤2) and diopside could react with sulfuric acid. The optimum conditions of sulfuric acid leaching process were particle size at < 0.045mm, sulfuric acid concentration at 90 wt.%, acid/slag mass ratio at 1.6:1, feeding temperature at 120 °C, reaction temperature at 220 °C, reaction time at 120minute, curing at 200°C for 120 minute. The [TiO2] concentration of the water leaching was 150 g/L, and leaching temperature at 60℃for 120 minute. Ti extraction could reach 84.29 %. F of titanium-bearing solution was 2.15, and the Ti3+/TiO2 of the titanium-bearing solution was 0.068. The TiO2 content of the leaching residue was 18.32 wt.%. The main mineral phases of the leaching residue were calcium sulphate, spinel, diopside and little MxTi3-xO5.

In this paper, nickel-containing residue, a typical solid waste produced in the battery production process, was used to study the cavitation characteristics of ultrasonic waves in a liquid–solid reaction. The ultrasonically-enhanced leaching technology for multicomponent and complex nickel-containing residue was studied through systematic ultrasonic-conventional comparative experiments. An ultrasonic leaching kinetics model was established which provided reliable technological guidance and basic theory for the comprehensive utilization of nickel-containing residue. In the study, it was found that ultrasonically-enhanced leaching for 40 min obtained the same result as conventional leaching for 80 min, and the Ni extraction degree reached more than 95%. According to the kinetic fitting of the leaching process, it was found that the sulfuric acid leaching process belonged to the diffusion-controlled model of solid product layers under conventional and ultrasonic conditions, and the activation energy of the reaction was Ea1 = 17.74 kJ/mol and Ea2 = 5.04 kJ/mol, respectively.

The effects of F− concentration, leaching temperature, and time on the Ti leaching from Ti-bearing electric furnace slag (TEFS) by [NH4+]-[F−] solution leaching process was investigated to reveal the leaching mechanism and kinetics of titanium. The results indicated that the Ti leaching rate obviously increased with the increase of leaching temperature and F− concentration. The kinetic equation of Ti leaching was obtained, and the activation energy was 52.30 kJ/mol. The fitting results of kinetic equations and calculated values of activation energy both indicated that the leaching rate of TEFS was controlled by surface chemical reaction. The semi-empirical kinetics equation was consistent with the real experimental results, with a correlation coefficient (R2) of 0.996. The Ti leaching rate reached 92.83% after leaching at 90 °C for 20 min with F− concentration of 14 mol/L and [NH4+]/[F−] ratio of 0.4. The leaching rates of Si, Fe, V, Mn, and Cr were 94.03%, 7.24%, 5.36%, 4.54%, and 1.73%, respectively. The Ca, Mg, and Al elements were converted to (NH4)3AlF6 and CaMg2Al2F12 in the residue, which can transform into stable oxides and fluorides after pyro-hydrolyzing and calcinating.

lmenite (FeO.TiO2) ore from Bangka island-Indonesia is a potential raw material for synthesizing titanium dioxide (TiO2), which can be used further as pigmen and photocatalyst. The fabrication of TiO2 particles from ilmenite can be carried out through the solvent extraction using sulfuric acid route. Therefore, the solubility of the ilmenite ore in sulfuric acid environment is one of the key factors to obtain the desired TiO2 particles. The current research is aimed at comparing the solubility of pristine Bangka ilmenite ore with that of precedingly decomposed by sodium hidroxide (NaOH) in pressurized and atmospheric reflux reactors. The dissolution of both precursors was carried out in those reactors under various temperatures of 75, 100, 125, 150 and 175°C. The results showed that the optimum dilution was achieved at 150°C. The obtained recovery of ilmenite was 88.8 % for the pressurized reactor and 75.5% for the atmospheric reflux reactor. The solubility of titanium (Ti) element increased steadily to reach a recovery of 68% at 150°C and decreased significantly afterwards. It was also found that the increase of iron (Fe) element solubility was proportional to the increase of processing temperatures.

A novel approach for Ta and Nb extraction consisting of the pre-treatment of a coltan-bearing ore with an ammonium bifluoride sub-molten salt and subsequent acid leaching has been studied. The effects from ore granulometry, ammonium bifluoride (ABF) to ore mass ratio, temperature and duration of fluorination on the degree of Ta and Nb extraction were examined. The ABF to ore ratio and process temperature were found to have the most pronounced impact on extraction efficiency. The following optimal process conditions were determined: ore granulometric fraction (−75 + 45 µm), ABF-ore (5/1), fluorination temperature (200 °C) and fluorination time (2.5 h). Maintaining these parameters enabled about 94% of Ta and 95% of Nb to be brought into solution during the sulfuric-acid-leaching stage. A comparison of the proposed method with previously reported studies suggests that due to the effects of mechanical agitation and the recirculation of the HF-containing gaseous phase back into the process, the dosage rate of ABF at the fluorination stage could be reduced significantly without sacrificing the overall recovery of Ta and Nb. In such a way, the approach could offer added environmental benefits since release of fluoride-containing effluents into the environment could be limited.
