The invention discloses a novel production process of
titanium dioxide
powder, comprising the process steps of performing
ilmenite acidolysis, crystallizing,
titanium liquid fine pressure filtering, concentrating, hydrolyzing, water-washing, bleaching, performing salt treatment, calcining and on the like. The process directly performs a hot-pressing treatment to a product of the
ilmenite acidolysis by a
filter press without subjecting to a settlement process. The technical scheme of the invention adopts the
hot pressing filter method as follows: the mixed product of the titanyl
sulfate and
titanium sulfate after acidolysis, with a high temperature due to the acidolysis heat releasing, is directly pressure filtered by the
filter press without subjecting to the settlement process and a cooling process. As the mixed product has low
viscosity and good fluidity due to a high temperature, the content of the
solid impurity in the pressure filtered titanium liquid is notably reduced, the
crystal is big and the content of the residual titanium in the
ferrous is low, so that the titanium yield is improved, meanwhile, the production period is shortened.
