Activation of quartz-leucoxene concentrate for processing into titanium tetrachloride

摘要

New method for activating the quartz-leucoxene concentrate via dissolution of a part of silicon and aluminum compounds was suggested and verified in order to intensify the chlorination of the concentrate. The hollows and channels formed in the process in grains of the concentrate provide the transport of reagents and a large degree of recovery of titanium, vanadium, niobium, and tantalum.
