AP22686490 "Production of niobium during chlorine processing of titanium-containing raw materials"

Relevance

The project is relevant due to the need to increase the efficiency of processing titanium-containing raw materials, expand the production of rare metals such as niobium, and reduce the environmental burden by reducing industrial waste. In the context of the growing demand for rare metals, this area has a high scientific and industrial importance.

Purpose

The aim of the project is to increase the complexity of processing titanium–containing mineral raw materials, increase the range of rare metals produced by domestic metallurgical enterprises, increase the profitability of processing titanium-containing mineral raw materials due to the associated extraction of niobium, and reduce the amount of waste from processing titanium-containing raw materials into the environment.

Expected and achieved results

A systematic analytical review was conducted on the project topic; The results of physico-chemical studies were obtained with the determination of the chemical and mineralogical composition of the feedstock - ilmenite concentrate and titanium slag; The distribution of niobium (%) was established for all industrial products of processing titanium-containing raw materials; The results of physico-chemical studies of industrial products of processing titanium-containing raw materials with the determination of the chemical form of niobium were obtained.
