example 2
[0024]In one embodiment of the present invention, it is converted to pure titanium tetrachloride in a third stage sulfo-chlorination reactor using one mole of sulfur per mole of titanium dioxide, and two moles of chlorine per mole of upgraded titanium dioxide. The titanium tetrachloride from the third reactor would have its own off-gas system to recover condensed TiCl4 and send the sulfur dioxide to sulfuric acid recovery plant. This makes a low carbon dioxide foot print and ‘a sustainable’ TiCl4
TiO2+S+2Cl2==TiCl4[v]+SO2 [g] [C]
TiCl4[v][condensing scrubber→]TiCl4[1] [D]
SO2[g]→Sulfuric acid [E]
Reaction of chlorination TiO2 is endothermic, added heat if necessary is supplied by co-burning sulfur with oxygen which produces sulfur dioxide which is another product handled by the process.
example 3
[0025]In another embodiment of the present invention, the second stage pure titanium dioxide is converted to titanium metal by reaction with magnesium metal in a specially designed reactor where the temperature is controlled—in producing initially a mixture of titanium powder and magnesium oxide. The temperature is controlled in the 400 to 900° C. range and preferably around 500 to 600° C.
[0026]The mixture of titanium powder and magnesium oxide is first processed by slurrying in water, followed by flotation of magnesium hydroxide to a froth stream in flotation equipment such as a flotation column, while leaving the titanium powder to the heavier tail stream. The heavier tail stream titanium powder is analyzed for its purity from inclusions, and unremoved magnesium and titanium oxides. Following such analysis sufficient amount of a suitable acid is added avoiding dissolution of titanium powder. Then the powder is filtered, filter cake dried with heated gas inert to the powder—thus ma...
