Definitions
- Titaniferous materials are often subjected to chlorination as chlorination is an efficient and economical way to obtain a high purity source of titanium for making titanium alloys, titanium compounds, and especially pigmentary titanium dioxide.
- Several processes have been described in the art for the chlorination of titaniferous materials. Such processes generally react a titanium-containing raw material such as rutile ore or ilmenite ore, with a chlorine-providing material and a carbon reductant at an elevated temperature according to one or both of the following equations:
- the present invention is a process for the chlorination of titaniferous materials.
- a mixture of titaniferous material and porous carbon reductant having internal surface due to micropores of less than 2 nm (20 A) is reacted with a chlorine-providing material in a chlorination reaction zone at a temperature of at least 600°C.
- the present process has been found effective and efficient for substantially chlorinating the titanium values of most titanium-bearing ores. Additionally, at temperatures greater than 800°C. vanadium impurities in the titanium-containing materials can be rendered readily separable from the titanium-containing products.
- the present invention is a chlorination process.
- the chlorine-providing material can be chlorine gas, HCI, an organo-chloride or mixture thereof.
- the chlorine-providing material is used as the fluidizing gas in the process.
- the gas contain a high percentage of chlorine such that a minimum volume of fluidizing gas can be used and maximum reaction rates obtained.
- Chlorine gas (C1 2 ) is preferred; however, also organo-chlorides can be used. Highly reactive chlorine sources such as NOCI and selective chlorination agents such as FeCI 2 are not within the scope of the present invention.
- granular porous carbon reductant and granular titaniferous material are blended together and charged into the fluid-bed reactor.
- the reactor temperature is raised to a chlorination reaction temperature of at least 600°C. and chlorine-providing gas is introduced into the bottom of the reactor to fluidize the bed and an off-gas product stream is withdrawn from the top of the bed.
- a further benefit of low-temperature fluid-bed operation of the present process is that no liquid metal chloride impurities are formed in the fluid bed itself. For example, at 600° to 670°C. the fluidized bed and the off-gas products would be below the melting points of normally troublesome calcium, magnesium, and iron chlorides. At conventional operating temperatures of greater than 800°C., liquid chlorides of calcium and magnesium tend to cause bed defluidization.
- Australian rutile ore containing about 96% Ti0 2 and having a particle size such that substantially all of it would pass through a 40-mesh screen and be retained on a 140-mesh screen was chlorinated by blending with a porous carbon reductant and reacting with chlorine in a fluid-bed reactor.
- the reactor consisted of a 3-inch diameter quartz tube with a porous quartz gas distributor plate near one end.
