Process for beneficiating ilmenite ore
TLDR
A TITANIUM DIOXIDE CONCENTRATE as mentioned in this paper was used for chlorination FEED MATERIALs in the early 1800s, where it was used as a chloreination feed mill.Abstract:
A TITANIUM DIOXIDE CONCENTRATE SUITABLE FOR USE AS CHLORINATION FEED MATERIAL IS PRODUCED BY AN OXIDATION-LEACH ING PROCESS WHEREIN THE METALLIC IRON IS AN UPGRADED METALLIZED ILMENITE HEREINAFTER REFERRED TO AS A METALLIZED ORE CONCENTRATE, IS LEACHED OUT OF THE METALLIZED CONCENTRATE BY VIGOROUSLY AGITATING THE LATER IN AN AQUEOUS SOLUTION CONTAINING FERROUS AND FERRIC IONS AND IN THE PRESENCE OF AIR OR OXYGEN WHEREBY THE METALLIC IRON IS OXIDIZED TO SOLUBLE FERROUS IRON WHICH IS WASHED OUT OF THE DISCRETE PARTICLES OF METALLIZED ORE CONCENTRATE WITH MINIMAL LOSS OF TI02 VALUES AND THEREAFTER OXIDIZED TO FORM SOLID PARTICULATE IRON OXIDE WHICH IS SEPARTED FROM THE RESIDUAL TI02 CONCENTRATE BY FILTRATION. THE PROCESS MAY BE A BATCH TYPE OPERATION BUT IS PREFERABLY A CONTINUOUS OPERATION WHEREIN THE FILTRATE CONTAINING FERROUS OR FERRIC IONS IS RECOVERED AND RECYLED IN WHOLE OR IN PART TO LEACH ADDITIONAL METALLIZED ORE CONCENTRATE.read more

Production of synthetic rutile
TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe a process for producing synthetic rutile from a titaniferous ore or concentrate, which involves three basic steps which are reduction, removal or iron by leaching or aeration, and removal of other impurities in a solution of a strong mineral acid such as hydrochloric acid or sulphuric acid.

Process for the production of synthetic rutile
TL;DR: A process for removal of iron from reduced titanium ores involves hydrometallurgical treatment with an aqueous solution through which an oxidising gas including oxygen and/or ozone is passed to oxidise metallised iron present within said reduced titanium ore as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: In this paper, a process for facilitating the removal of impurities e.g. radionuclides, such as uranium and thorium, from titaniferous material is described.

Refining of ilmenite by removal of excess chromite
TL;DR: In this paper, the chromite in a significant amount in ilmenite downgrades the market value of the metal and a substantial amount of chromite may be removed, firstly by a reduction step, secondly by a leaching, aeration or oxidation roasting step and finally by a physical separation step.

Upgrading of chromite and other ferruginous ores
Abstract: Prereduced ferruginous ores of chromite, ilmenite and phosphate minerals are upgraded in a single stage process utilising ferrous sulphate or ferrous chloride leach solutions While leaching takes place air or oxygen is blown in so as to reduce ferric salts to the ferrous state with the precipitation of hydrated iron oxides The process is conducted at a temperature of between 55 DEG and 60 DEG C The upgraded ore and iron hydrate are subsequently separated by means of cyclones, elutriation, tabling, flotation and so on
