Abstract

Commercially useful prods., esp. Fe2O3 of high purity and a TiO2 ore which upon refining gives a commercially useful TiO2 prod., are recovered from the inert residual material obtd. during the prodn. of alumina from bauxite by a process comprising: (1) diluting the red sludge by stirring into hot water; (2) adding an acid, esp. H2SO4, to establish an acid pH; (3) adding water, stirring, and decanting the mixt.; (4) sepg. the rose-coloured milky supernatant liquor (contg. finely divided TiO2 and coloured red with Fe oxide) from the black Fe oxide rich residue; (5) washing the Fe2O3 residue with water and adding the wash water to the decanted supernatant liq.; and (6) filtering the supernatant liquor to yield TiO2 in the form of a TiO2 ore. USE/ADVANTAGE - The process gives commercially useful prods. such as practically pure Fe oxide suitable form useful as a pigment e.g. for colouring moulded cement articles red or as a pigment in paints for painting ships' hulls, and a TiO2 ore which can be refined to give commercially useful TiO2. The sulphuric liquor filtrate is rich in pptd. silica and alumina and can be pptd. to yield prods. useful as fillers and pigments in papermaking, paints, plastics materials, etc.

La filtration du "lait rose" donne un minerai à haute teneur de
TiO2 apte à la fabrication du TiO2 commercial.

TiO2 suitable for the manufacture of commercial TiO2.

L'oxyde de fer, après lavage, donne un produit pratiquement pur, insensi-ble aux alcalins et aux acides dilués, matière première convenant aux pigments de fer de haute qualité. Iron oxide, after washing, gives a practically pure product, insensitive to alkalis and dilute acids, a raw material suitable for high quality iron pigments.

Description du wrocéié d'attaque acide :
A titre d'exemple, le produit inerte est dilué par agitation dans de l'eau chaude. On ajoute de l'acide, de préférence de l'acide sulfurique courant. Il se produit un dégagement gazeux. Quand celui-ci cesse, on ajuste le PH jusqu'à acidité persistante. On ajoute de l'eau, on agite l'ensemble, on laisse décanter. On enlève le lait rose surnageant, on lave â l'eau, de préférence à deux reprises le culot de Fie203. On ajoute l'eau de lavage décantée au lait rose.

For example, the inert product is diluted by stirring in hot water. Acid is added, preferably common sulfuric acid. There is a release of gas. When this ceases, the PH is adjusted until persistent acidity. Water is added, the whole is stirred and left to settle. The pink supernatant milk is removed and the pellet of Fie203 is washed with water, preferably twice. The decanted washing water is added to the pink milk.

On filtre le lait rose. On obtient trois produits 1"/ du Fe203 pratiquement pur, destiné à la fabrication des Pigments de fer de haute qualité. We filter the pink milk. Three products 1 "/ of almost pure Fe203 are obtained, intended for the manufacture of high quality iron pigments.
