Abstract

The raffinate obtained after extracting scandium from titanium dioxide waste acid (hereafter, waste acid-A) contains a lot of valuable components. The extraction separation process of Ti(IV) and Fe(II) from the raffinate using a D2EHPA-sulfonated kerosene extraction system was studied under different conditions. The results showed that the Ti(IV) extraction rate was 100% with 1.66% Fe(II) co-extracted using 30% D2EHPA with an O/A rate of 1:2 at 30°C for 20 min in a two-stage countercurrent test. Then, the extracted Ti(IV) was stripped with NH4HF2 solution. Under the optimal conditions, all the Ti(IV) was stripped, together with the stripping of 14.52% Fe(II). Moreover, the reaction mechanism of Ti(IV) with D2EHPA in sulfuric acid medium was determined using the results of the saturation capacity method and FT-IR analysis. Ti(IV) was extracted in the form of (TiO)2A6H2. Finally, a conceptual flow chart for recovering relatively high-purity titanium from the raffinate has been innovatively proposed.
