Extracting titanium from ilmenite ore (FeTiO 3) by using the conventional methods require usage of hash chemicals and excessive heating, which are not environmentally friendly.Iron oxides are the most common impurities contained in ilmenite ores. Separating iron impurities from ilmenite ore remains as a challenging part in titanium extraction proses.
An extraction efficiency of 97% total titanium was obtained by 1.5 M TBP in kerosene from initial 10g/L ilmenite leach liquor at 25 ± 2 o C in a single extraction stage. Iron was effectively eliminated using 3M ammoniacal solution at pH 3.5. The stripped titanium solution was recovered from TBP- organic phase by 0.1M HCl solution.
Indeed, magnetite ss is rare, and the Fe-Ti oxides are almost pure ilmenite (Fig. 6 d–f) with > 95 % molar ilmenite in the ilmenite ss (Supplementary Table S1).
