钛铁矿制备二氧化钛-四氧化三铁复合材料及其光催化应用

TiO_2因具有多种优异的特性被广泛应用在半导体光催化领域,但是纳米结构的TiO_2颗粒细微,在进行光催化反应之后,难以回收再利用。本文以廉价钛铁矿为原料制备光催化剂TiO_2,同时利用副产物铁合成Fe_3O_4,并采用简单温和的浸渍法制备Fe_3O_4/TiO_2磁性复合材料。通过XRD、FT-IR、SEM、EDS等手段对材料形态结构进行表征分析,并以光降解有机污染物若丹明B为探针反应,考察其光催化性能。结果表明,质量比为1∶10的Fe_3O_4/TiO_2复合材料结构稳定、分散均匀,具有最优的光催化活性(波长356nm下反应3h,若丹明B降解率达到64.0%),并表现出良好的重复性。同时,动力学结果显示降解符合一级反应动力学。     

Sol-Gel Preparation and Raman Characterization of CdTiO3

Cadmium titanate (CdTiO₃) has been prepared by a room-temperature sol-gel technique. The powders were characterized by means of X-Ray Diffraction. Samples treated at 800°C give rise only to the ilmenite-like phase, but, after a treatment at 1100°C for about four hours, the orthorhombic perovskite is the only crystalline phase observed. The Raman spectrum of the perovskite phase is reported for the first time and that of the ilmenite phase is compared with the spectrum of CdTiO₃ bulk crystals. The effects of the starting stoichiometry on the purity of the final phases, relative to the presence of TiO₂ (anatase and rutile) or CdO, are investigated.     

Hazard in reaction of titanium raw materials with sulphuric acid

The reaction of ilmenite titanium raw material with sulphuric acid was investigated in ‘hazard’ type calorimetric system. The investigations show the essential influence of initial temperature, particle size distribution and concentration of sulphuric acid on rate and heat power of reaction and determine the limits of safety of the process and also its efficiency.     

High-pressure single-crystal studies of MnTiO3

Abstract

Recent high-pressure single-crystal x-ray diffraction experiments have provided new information on the crystal chemistry of MnTiO₃ and have provided insight into polymorphic transitions among phases of this composition. The stable polymorph of MnTiO₃ at room P and T has the ilmenite structure. At high P and T, MnTiO₃ ilmenite (MnTiO₃ II) transforms to a LiNbO₃ structure through a cation reordering process, and the quenched LiNbO₃-structure phase transforms to a perovskite structure as the pressure is again increased. This transition is unique in that twinned MnTiO₃ II crystals transform under pressure to untwinned crystals having the perovskite structure. The back-transformation of perovskite to the LiNbO₃ structure as pressure is released is similar to that observed previously for the rutile-type dioxides TiO₂ and SnO₂.     

Estimation of Kinetic Parameters of Thermal Oxidation of Ilmenite

The aim of the presented work was the investigation of thermal oxidation of ilmenite in static air atmosphere. The investigations were carried out by use of a derivatograph (MOM, Hungary). The changes of crystallographic structure of investigated samples were identified by X-ray diffractometry on Philips PW-1710 diffractometer. In temperature above 500°C appears structure of hematite Fe₂O₃. On the basis of the thermogravimetric measurements, the contracting area and contracting volume models were found as the best fitting experimental data.

Investigation of reaction products of sulphuric acid with ilmenite

The reaction of sulphuric acid with titanium raw materials runs violently with simultaneous emission of gases. Such run of reaction creates danger of explosion. This process is very complicated from the reason of complexity of reactions and variety of compounds in reaction mixture. To determine safe conditions of reaction with high efficiency, it is necessary to investigate phase composition products of reaction. Products of reaction were investigated by using X-ray diffraction. However reaction products show high amorphy and this is the reason of difficulties to determine all phases. For this reason also was used additional method — ‘drop’ calorimeter. This method is used for determination of average specific heat of liquid or solid samples. In this case, this method was used for verification of phase composition of products of reaction. On the basis of investigation the phase composition of reaction product is following: titanyl sulfate, iron(III) sulfate, monohydrated iron(II) sulfate, magnesium sulfate and unreacted remainders of ilmenite and magnesium silicate.     

A NEW METHOD FOR DEOXIDIZATION AND CHLORINATION OF REFINED ILMENITE WITH HIGH MAGNESIA AND CALCIA CONTENTS

A new process is proposed to utilize refined ilmenite with high magnesia and calcia contents, which is the main secondary resource from vanadium-bearing titaniferous magnetite in Panzhihua, covering about 40% of the world‘s titanium. The refined ilmenite was first deoxidized to separate the iron in the ore in order to enrich the titanium. The mechanism of chlorination of the titanium-rich slag was analyzed using the HSC chemistry software, Following deoxidation, a tandem fluidized bed was applied to chlorinating the titanium-rich slag. Modeling of the tandem fluidized bed explains how this serial operation can effectively improve the convention ratio of TiO2 to TiCl4.     

Design and application of a high‐temperature microfurnace for an in situ X‐ray diffraction study of phase transformation

Thermal treatment of mineral ores such as ilmenite can initiate phase transformations that could affect their activation or deactivation, subsequently influencing their ability to dissolve in a leaching agent. Most laboratory‐based X‐ray diffraction (XRD) studies were carried out ex situ in which realistic diffraction patterns could not be obtained simultaneously with occurring reactions and were time‐consuming. The availability of synchrotron‐radiation‐based XRD not only allows in situ analysis, but significantly shortens the data recording time. The present study details the design of a robust high‐temperature microfurnace which allows thermal processing of mineral ore samples and the simultaneous collection of high‐resolution synchrotron XRD data. In addition, the application of the manufactured microfurnace for in situ study of phase transformations of ilmenite ore under reducing conditions is demonstrated.     

Kinetic Model For The Reaction of Ilmenite With Sulphuric Acid

The kinetic of the reaction ilmenite with sulphuric acid was studied using non-adiabatic and non-isothermic calorimetric device system. The kinetic model based on interphase surface and kinetic models found in literature which are usually applied were tested. The best agreement between experimental and calculated values was found with model based on first order of reaction and model of contracting volume. This revised version was published online in July 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Ilmenite Mineral's Recovery from Beach Sand Tailings

The mineral ilmenite is the major source of rutile for industrial use and is of interest to paint and fertiliser industries. Enormous unutilised tailing dams lie on the eastern coast of the South Africa. Although covered by a simulation of the original indigenous vegetation, these tailings are still ilmenite bearing and of economic value. Tailings emanating from beach sand mineral slimes dams of the Kwazulu-Natal area (South Africa) have been processed. Screening, flotation, spiral concentration and magnetic separation methods were used either separately or successively. The present work sheds light on alternative routes for the extraction of the ilmenite, from these tailings. It moreover points out the usefulness of the Mössbauer spectroscopy in the mineral processing product monitoring. Tailings from the beach sands were used in the present study after the economic industrial minerals zirconia, ilmenite and rutile had been extracted in previous mining operations. About 61% natural ilmenite recovery was observed in the flotation concentrate of a Humphrey Spiral concentrate while a 62% recovery of hematite was found in the flotation tailings. The combination of screening, spiral concentration and magnetic separation, and flotation yielded a product with the highest ilmenite and hematite concentration being 71% and 19%, respectively. A natural ilmenite mineral, containing 87% ilmenite and 13% hematite, could be produced and extracted from the tailings of the flotation process, collected subsequently to the spiral concentration and the initial screening.
