摘要

When the total content of calcium oxide (CaO) and magnesium oxide (MgO) exceeds 1.5 wt% in high-titanium slag, it leads to significant blockages in the chlorination furnace. As a result, the production of titanium dioxide (TiO2) through the chloride process is inhibited. To address this issue, a novel high-pressure oxidative leaching process has been proposed for removing Ca and Mg using high-Ca/Mg high-titanium slag as raw material. In this study, the oxidation efficiency of various oxidants on low-valent titanium present in the slag was investigated. Additionally, the effects of key process parameters, including hydrochloric acid concentration, leaching temperature, holding time, and liquid-to-solid ratio, on both TiO2 direct yield and impurity removal efficiency were investigated. FeCl3 was used as an oxidant at an Fe3+ concentration of 25 g/L. The optimal processing conditions were identified as follows: hydrochloric acid concentration of 240 g/L, titanium slag particle size of 60–100 mesh, leaching temperature of 155 °C, holding time of 4 h, liquid-to-solid ratio of 3:1, stirring speed of 500 rpm, and system pressure of 0.9 MPa. Under these optimized conditions, a titanium-rich product with a TiO2 content of 88.63 wt% and a CaO + MgO content below 1.50 wt% was successfully produced, meeting the stringent requirements for fluidized-bed chlorination processes. This study provides valuable technical support for effectively removing Ca and Mg from high-titanium slag while promoting the high-value utilization of titanium ore resources.
