An upgrade of Malaysian ilmenite (FeTiO3) concentrate to synthetic rutile (TiO2) using aeration leaching was investigated in this study. Carbothermal reduction using Sarawak MukahBalingan coal and compressed National Gas (CNG) as a reductant was used to produce reduced ilmenite (RI) as an intermediate phase consisting of titanium oxide matrix with metallic iron prior to aeration leaching. Metallic iron was dissolved in ammonium chloride solution after the reduction process, separating synthetic rutile in the leaching residue. This study aims to evaluate the leaching parameters, such as concentration, temperature, and leaching time. The optimum conditions established by the design of the experiment (DOE) and the analysis of variance (ANOVA) has indicated that leaching temperature was the most significant parameter for iron dissolution. It was found that iron dissolution at a maximum value of 97.0% was achieved at an optimum condition of 0.5 M NH4Cl at 90°C for 7 hours. With an initial weight of 46 wt.%TiO2 and 37 wt.% Fe2O3, ilmenite was successfully upgraded to 80 wt.% and 8 wt.%, respectively. In conclusion, Malaysian ilmenite has a high potential value to be upgraded to synthetic rutile by aeration leaching with ammonium chloride via Becher process.

Leaching with sulfuric and hydrochloric acids for upgrading titanium slag obtained from the Qara-aghaj ilmenite concentrate to a high grade titanium dioxide (TiO2) was studied. The titanium slag containing 72.7% TiO2 and 7.8% Fe2O3 was leached at varying solid/liquid (S/L) ratio, particle size, leaching time and acid concentration. The optimum amount of S/L ratio, particle size, acid concentration and leaching time using both acids were determined as 1:4, -100 µm, 8% and 2 h. Under optimum conditions, by using sulfuric acid, a titanium dioxide concentrate with 86.8% TiO2 and 1.87% Fe2O3 was produced, while employing hydrochloric acid resulted in a concentrate containing 91% TiO2 and 0.61% Fe2O3. The titanium dioxide concentrate prepared with hydrochloric acid, having acicular texture and by means of elongated separate particles; has less impurities than the one produced by sulfuric acid. The results demonstrate that hydrochloric acid dissolution of titanium slag and removing some impurities such as SiO2 and MgO provide a product with good quality is prepared which is suitable as raw material for TiO2 pigment production through the chloride process.
