Research of fluorination process of rutile concentrate The brief review of industrial technologies of titanium-containing concentrates processing has been carried out. Drawbacks of the
existing titanium manufacture schemes are shown and the necessity of the essentially new fluoride technologies development has
been proved. The reactions proceeding during the fluorination of rutile concentrate with element fluoride are described in the
given work. The thermodynamic research of the process has been carried using ASTRA software. Dependence of mass
concentration change of titanium tetrafluoride has been investigated in products of reaction on the temperature of the process, and
the choice of optimum excess of fluoride has been proved. |
