TLDR
In this article, a process for beneficiating titaniferous ores to produce essentially pure titanium dioxide comprising alternatingly contacting the ore in a gas-solids reactor with carbon monoxide for a short period of time and then with chlorine, and then repeating the alternate carbonylation and chlorination steps at temperatures of 700 to 1,150* C under fluidizing conditions; converting iron oxide and oxides of metals other than titanium in the ore to iron and other metal chlorides and removing same by volatilization.
Abstract
Process for beneficiating titaniferous ores to produce essentially pure titanium dioxide comprising alternatingly contacting the ore in a gas-solids reactor with carbon monoxide for a short period of time and then with chlorine for a short period of time and then repeating the alternate carbonylation and chlorination steps at temperatures of 700 to 1,150* C. under fluidizing conditions; converting iron oxide and oxides of metals other than titanium in the ore to iron and other metal chlorides and removing same by volatilization. The titanium dioxide produced is useful as a starting material for the preparation of titanium dioxide pigment.

Process for beneficiating a titaniferous ore and production of chlorine and iron oxide

TL;DR: In this article, a void containing iron chloride when the ore is being beneficiated at a temperature of about 1,250* to 1,380* K is described. But this void contains iron chloride only when the iron oxide and unreacted ferric chloride are recycled to the reactor.

Chlorine treatment of titaniferous ores

TL;DR: Artificial rutile of high TiO 2 grade is produced by chlorine treatment of titaniferous ore such as ilmenite which comprises a combination of (1) a pretreatment step in which the ore is oxidized by roasting at a temperature below the sintering temperature thereof, (2) a chloridization step in that the pretreated ore is subjected to a chlorine treatment in a fluidized bed chloridisation furnace thereby to chloridize and remove selectively iron oxides within the ore without the formation of TiCl 4, and (3) an aftertreatment
