Abstract
The rate of titanium (IV) extraction from sphene concentrate by its treatment with sulfuric acid solutions was determined. The sulfatization conditions to form stable titanium (IV) sulfate solutions suitable for preparing crystal substances—titanyl sulfate and ammonium titanyl sulfate—were found. The kinetics of the crystallization was studied. The phase composition of the titanium salts was established, and the content of impurities was determined by using X-ray analysis. It was shown that the technology for producing titanium salts is simple, which makes it possible to prepare in a few operations the precursors for the synthesis of hard-to-get expensive titanium-containing materials.
