Production of titanium dioxide which is characterized by recovery of reusable H2SO4, high pure Fe oxide and hydroxide and fractional recovery of Mn, V and Cr, etc. from FeSO4?nH2O and waste acid of 20 - 40% H2SO4 containing abundant heavy metallic ions which are by-produced in the production of TiO2 by dis-solution of Ti raw materials such as ilmenite, steel production slag, such as electric furnace slag, convertor slag with H2SO4.

Description

~07948~
This invention is concerned with the production of titanium dioxide which i9 characterized by recovery of reusable H2S04, high pure Fe oxide and hydroxide and fractional recovery of Mn, V and Cr, etc. from FeS04.nH20 and waste acid of 20 - 4~/0 H2S04 containing abundant heavy metallic ions, which are by-produced in the production of TiO2 by dissolution of Ti raw mate-rial~ such as ilmenite, steel production slag, quch as electric furnace slag, convertor slag with H2S04.
In the conventional production o~ TiO2 using H2S04, the required 98% H2S04 per 1 ton of TiO2 product is 3.5 to 4.2 tons.
Nevertheless, the economical treatment of FeS04.nH20 and waste acid~ by-produced in abundance after the separation of Ti com-pounds by hydrolysis process has not been found and the allow-ance to stand or discard them as untreatment has given rise to serious pollution problems. This invention is originated to over-come the faults of the conventional production process described above.
The present invention relates to a production of ti-tanium dioxide which is characterized by recovery of reusable H2S04, high pure Fe oxide and hydroxide and fractional recovery of Mn, V and Cr, etc. from FeS04.nH20 and waste acid of 20 - 40YO
H2S04 containing abundant heavy metallic ions, which are by-pro-duced in the production of TiO2 by dissolutlon of Ti raw materials such as ilmenite, steel production slag, such as electric furnace slag, convertor slag w th H2S04.
The Qummary of this invention is as follows. The pre-sent invention iB firstly characterized with~ production of waste acids and FeS04.nH20 as follows. The aqueou~ solution pretreated after dissolution of Ti raw materials with H2S04 is brought into contact and mixed with an organic solvent (A) to extract metallic ions such as Cr3+ and Nb5+ ions in the first st~ge and the bulk of Ti ions in the resulting aqueous solution 10794~8 is separated by well-known hydrolysis process in the 2nd stage, The rnetallic ions such as Ti, Mn and V ions remaining in the re-sult:ing aqueous solution are extracted into an organic solvent (B) ln the 3rd stage, an organic solvent (C) extracts Fe ions in the resulting aqueous solution after the oxidation of Fe2+
ions to Fe ions in the 4th stage and V5+ ions in the resulting aqueous solution are extracted into an organic solvent (D) in the 5th stage, The resulting aqueous solution from the 5th stage is the reusable regenerated acid for dissolution of raw materials.
The 2nd characteristic OL present invention is con-cerned with the extraction of Fe ions from the aqueous solution using C12 gas for the oxidation as follows. After the conversion of Fe2+ ions in the aqueous solution from the 3rd stage to Fe3 ions using C12 gas, the amount of HCl required to extract Fe3 ions in the aqueous solution as Fe chloride complex is added to the resulting aqueous solution and is contacted with an organic solvent (E) to extract Fe-Cl ions into the organic phase, The 3rd characteristic of this invention is concerned with the reduction of energy in concentration process of acid as follows. FeS04.nH20 by-produced in the pretreatment process is dissolved with water or acids from the 4th stage, the oxidation of Fe + ions in the resulting aqueous solution to Fe ions is finished and then Fe3+ ions in the resulting aqueous solution are extracted into the organic phase with contact of the organic' solvent ~C). The increasing concentration of regenerated acid by several repetitions of the above operation in compliance with dema,nd yields the reduction of energy in the following concen-tration process of acid.
The 4th characteristic of present invention is con-cerned with the reasonable treatment of FeS04.nH20 with the fractional extraction of Mn and Fe ions as follows. After dis-solution of FeS04'nH20 by-produced with water, Mn + ions in the resulting aqueous solution are extracted with an organic solvent 10794~8 (F) into th~ organic phase to separate from ~e ions in the re-sulting aqueous solution, Fe2+ ions are oxidized to Fe3+ ions and then Fe3+ ions are extracted into the organic phase with contact of the organic solvent (C). The concentration of recovered acid is enhanced by several repetitions of the above operation in eom-pliance with demand and recycled for dissolution of raw materials by way of the eoncentration proeess The 5th charaeteristie of this invention is concerned with the reduetion of reeovery cost by rising Fe concentration in the aqueous solution introduced into the recovery process of HCl and Fe as follows. The Fe concentration of the aqueous solution introduced into the reeovery proeess of HCl and Fe is increased by extracting Fe3+ ions in the baek-extraction solution of the organie solvent (C) with eontaet of the organic solvent (E) and stripping with water. The inereased Fe eoneentration produees the reduetion of reeovery eost.
The 6th eharaeteristie of this invention is concerned with the reasonable recovery of Fe compounds using both solvent extraction and diaphragm-eleetrolysis teehniques as follows.
The baek-extraetion solution of the organie solvent (C) or of the organie-solvent (E) is introdueed into the eathode eompartment of diaphragm-eleetrolysis, Fe3+ ions are reduced to Fe ions there, free acid is transferred to the anode eompartment and hydrated Fe oxide or hydroxide is reeovered with eontaet of air or oxygen and the aqueous solution in the eathode eompartment eontaining a lesser amount of free reeovered aeid.
The 7th eharaeteristic of this invention is concerned with the fraetional reeovery of metallie ions eoextraeted into the organie solvent (B) as follows. Mn, V and Fe ions coextraeted`
into the organie solvent (B) are serubbed with HCl or H2S04, Ti ions in the organie solvent (B) is baek-extraeted into the aqueous solu-tion with eontaet of (NH4)2C03 + NH3 solution, and then the organie 1079~88 solvent converted from H type to N~I3 type in the above operationis ac~ain converted to H type with contact of H2S04. When Cr3 ions are coextracted, they in the organic phase can be recovered into the aqueous solution with contact of HCl ~ H202 or HCl +
NaCl solution. Thus, the individual metallic ion coextracted into the organic solvent (B) is fractionally recovered. When A13+ and Mg2 ions are accumulated in the recovered acid during recycle of recovered acid, the enhacement of their ions concen-tration is depressed by taking one part of them out of the extraction system and the solution taken out is recovered as (NH4)2S04 by neutralizing with NH3.
The invention relatec to a process for the prepara-tion of titanium dioxide by dissolving titanium-containing raw materials in ~ulphuric acid to form an aqueous solution of sulphuric acid containing dissolved titanium and other metals, separating ferrous sulphate from the aqueous solution and then isolating titanium as the desired titanium dioxide by the steps of:
a) where dissolved chromium and niobium are present in the aqueous solution, contacting the aqueous solution with an organic extractant ~A) capable of extracting chromium and niobium so as to extract the dissolved chromium and niobium from the a~ueous solution, b) hydrolysing the aqueous solution so as to precipitate the majority of dissolved titanium therefrom and subsequently recovering the precipitated titanium compound as titanium dioxide;
c) contacting the hydrolysed aqueous solution with an organic extractant (B) capable of extracting titanium from the aqueous solution for subsequent recovery as titanium dioxide:

~ -4-10~5~48~

d) oxidizing the thus-contacted aqueous solution to convert ferrous ions present therein -to ferric ions and contacting the oxidized aqueous solution with an organic extractant (c) capable of extracting ferric ions so as to extract ferric ions from the aqueous solution; and where dissolved vanadium is present in the aqueous solution;
e) contacting the resultant aqueous solution with an organic extractant (D) capable of extracting vanadium so as to extract dissolved vanadium from the aqueous solution to yield a liquor essentially comprising sulphuric acid substantially free from dissolved chromium, niobium, titanium, iron and vanadium.

(1) The First Stage The extraction of Cr3+ and ~b5+ ions with the organic solvent (A) is run before hydrolysis process owing to their supe-rior extractability in lower concentration of free acid and higher temperature of the aqueous solution Organic solvent (A) is made up of primary, amine secondary, tertiary or quaternary amine, for example, "Primene JMT" (tradename, primary amine produced by R'ohm and Haas~, "Amberlite LA-l" (tradename, secondary amine produced by R~hm and Haas), "Alamine 336" (tradename, tertiary amine pro-duced by General Mills), and "Aliquat 336" (tradename, quar~ernary amine produced by General Mills), 2 - 5% higher alcohol such as octanol, dodecanol or isodecanol as a modifier and aromatic, ali-phatic or paraffin hydrocarbon as a diluent. The organic solvents used in this experiment indicate only one example and of course similar organic solvents can be utilized.
- Extraction -The extraction test is done with the increased concen-tration of Cr3+ and Nb5+ ions by adding and adjusting Cr2(S04)3 and NbC15 to the aqueous solution described above. Cr and Nb ions are extracted according to the under formulas.

However, there is little difference in the extraction of Nb5+ ions with various amines. The main factors of Cr3 ions extraction are temperature, contact time and concentration of free acid. The high extractability of Cr3+ ions is obtained in 50 to 80& and longer contact time as higher concentration of free acid.
- Stripping -Cr3 ions extracted into the organic solvent (A) are stripped from the organic phase with contact of HC1 or H2S04 ac-cording to the under formula.

(3) The Third Stage Ti ions and one part of V4+ ions in the resulting aqueous solution are extracted into the organic phase with the organic solvent (B). When there are Cr3 ions with omitting the first stage, Cr ions are coextracted with Ti ions into the or-ganic solvent (B) as shown in Figure 6. The organic solvent (B) is composed of alkyl phosphoric acid, for example, D2EHPA(Di-2-ethyl hexyl phosphoric acid) and H2DDP (Mono-dodecyl phosphoric acid), 2 - 5% higher alcohol such as octanol, decanol or isbdeca-nol as a modifier and aromatic, aliphatic or paraffin hydrocarbon as a diluent.

- Extraction -Ti4+ ions are extracted with the organic solvent (B) according to the under formula.

ions and they are slightly extracted, While, Fe3+ ions are not commonly contained in the resulting solution, but if Fe3+ ions exist in it, they are completely extracted like Ti4+ ions. Mn ions are extracted as the concentration of free acid lowers.

- Continuous extraction test -The liquor as shown in the under table was continuous-ly treated with the organic solvent (B) at the flow rate o~ 0.15 l/min. using a mixer settler (100 mm W x 500 mm L x 180 mm H), The mixer was of the pump~suction type and rotated at 120 - 310 r,p,m, depending on the interface level in the settler using a non-stepwise speed changer. The organic solvent used consists of 200/o D2EHPA, 3% octanol and kerosene in balance.

It is considered from the result of back-extraction test that 0.5 M - saturated (NH4)2C03 + NH3 solutions maintained between 7 and 9.5 of pH values and over 2 M(NH4)2S04 + NH3 solu-tions maintained over 7.0 of pH values are the most suitable back-extraction solutions of Ti ions in the standpoint of cost and sub-sequent operations. Therefore, the mechanism of the back-extrac-tion of Ti ions is shown as follows.

1079~813 Remark: The value of Ti* in the back-extraction solution is one obtained in remelting the precipitate as Ti(OH)4. As the organic solvent ( B ) becomes NH4 type by stripping Ti ions, it is converted to H type with contact of H2S04 or HCl in the following process. When Cr3+ ions are coextracted, Cr3+
ions are stripped with contact of H2S04 + H202, HCl + H202 or HCl + NaCl solution and then NH4 type of the organic solvent (B) is converted to H type (see Figure 9).

(4) The Fourth Stage - Extraction -Fe2+ ions in the resulting solution which Ti ions are separated are converted to Fe3 ions with H202, oxygen, high pres-sure air or electro-oxidation and Fe3+ ions in the resulting aqueous solution are extracted into the organic phase with the organic solvent (C). The organic solvent (C) is composed of alkyl phosphoric acid, for example, D2EHPA, mixed solvent of alkyl phos-phoric acid and LlX-63 (tradename, chelate reagent produced by General Mills) or ~-bromo lauric acid, 2-5% higher alcohol as a modifier and aromatic, aliphatic or paraffin hydrocarbon as a diluent.
The extraction mechanism of Fe3+ ion with alkyl phos-phoric acid is shown as follows. (See Figure 10) Fe + 3 ~(RO)2P00H) = Fe ~(R0)2P00~3 + 3 H*

The organic solvent (E) is made up of phosphoric acid ester, for exam-ple, TBP (tri-butyl phosphoric acid), TOP (tri-octyl phosphoric acid), DBBP (di-butyl butyl phosphonate) or TOP0 (tri-octyl phos-phine oxide) and aromatic, aliphatic or paraffin hydrocarbon as a ~079488 diluent. Moreover, the oryanic solvent (E) may be made up of pri-mary, secondary, tertiary or quarternary amine, higher alcohol as a modifier and aromatic, aliphatic, or paraffin hydrocarbon as a diluent The test used Primene-JMT as a primary amine, LA-l as a secon~ary amine, Alamine 336 as a tertiary amine and Aliquat 336 as a quarternary amine. Of course, similar amines can be utilized besides the amines described above. Furthermore, mixed solvent of phosphoric acid ester such as TBP and tertiary amine such as TOA
(tri-octyl amine) can be used. Fe ions are extracted into the organic phase with phosphoric acid ester or amine according to the under formulas.

When acid is taken out of the system or is recycled to reuse, it is-connec_-ed with the improved economization of the apparatus to extract and recover V4+ ions having economical value among them.
In the case of recycling to reuse, V0(S04)2 ions in the resulting aqueous solution which has no Fe ions and 300 - 500 g/l 1079~88 of free acid are extracted into the organic phase with contact of the organic solvent (D) (see Fig. 15). In the other case of takirly acid out the system, V03 ions in the aquous solution, which pll values are maintained between 2 and 4 with NH3, are extracted into the organic phase with contact of the organic solvent (D).
Fig 16 shows the relation between pH and V extraction coefficient.
The organic solvent (D) is made up of primary, secondary, tertiary or quarternary amine, 2 - 5% higher alcohol such as oc-tanol, decanol or isodecanol as a modifier and aromatic, aliphatic or paraffin hydrocarbon as a diluent The amines used for test are Primene- JMT as a primary amine, LA-l as a secondary amine, Alamine 381 (tri isooctylamine produced by Ashland Chemical Co.) as a tertiary amine and Aliquat 336 as a quarternary amine. Of course, various similar amines can be commonly utilized besides the amines mentioned above.

- Stripping -VO(S04)2 ions extracted into the organic solvent (D) are stripped from the organic phase with contact of (NH4)2S04, While, V03 ions extracted into the organic solvent (D) can be stripped with NH4Cl + NE3 (see Fig, 17). Both V ions are recovered as the form of NX4V03.
(6) The Treatment of By~product FeS04 nH20 The H2S04 concentration produced after the extraction of Fe3+ ions and almost all heavy metallic ions in the fourth stage is 250 - 300 g/l and consequently this low concentration of H2S04 en- '!
hances the energy cost of concentration to reuse for the dissolu-tion of raw materials through the concentration process. The H2S04 concentration if increased by dissolving FeS04'nH20 by-produced in the pretreatment process into the aqueous solution removed Fe3 ions in order to reduce this energy cost. The several repetitions of the above operation in compliance of demand can diminish the energy cost of concentration. The relation between H2S04 concen-tration and Fe ions extraction coe~icient is shown in Fig, 18.
FeS04 nH20 often includes MnS04. As shown in the flow-sheet of Fig. 2~ Mn ions are separated from Fe ions by ex-tracting Mn ions with contact of the organic solvent (F) in the lower concentration of free acid produced by the dissolution of FeS04 nH20 crystal with water (see Fig l9).
The organic solvent (F) is composed of alkyl phosphoric acid, for example, D2EHPA~ H2DDP, 2 - 5% higher alcohol as a modifier and aromatic, aliphatic or paraffin hydrocarbon as a diluent. While, the organic solvent (F) may be made up of mixed solvent of D2EHPA and LLX-63 or primary, secondary, tertiary or quarternary amine. As described above, the mixed solvents con-sisted of mainly alkyl phosphoric acid and 5 - 20~/o of LIX.-63 or ~-bromo lauric acid are used to extract Mn ions.
A small amount of Fe2+ ions coextracted with Mn ions are scrubbed from the organic solvent (F) with contact of MnS04 solution having 2 ~ 3,5 of pH values, the organic solvent (F) contains only Mn ions and consequently Mn ions are stripped from the organic solvent (F) with 300 g of H2S04 in the follow-ing process.
- Continuous extraction test -Continuous extraction test using the under-tabulated - FeS04 nH20 by-produced by H2S04 process was done and MnS04 was added to the resulting solution in order to facilitate the con-firmation of Mn extraction, Chemical analysis of FeS04'nH20 FeO TiO2 MnO

Fe + ions are coextracted with Mn + ions from pH values between 3, 5 and 3.8. In this case, Fe + ions extracted into the organic phase are scrubbed from the organic solvent (F) with MnS04 solution having 2 - 2.5 of pH value and the concentration of Mn in the MnS04 solution depends on the concentration of the or-ganic solvent (F).
