    Production of Titanium Dioxide

    Uploaded by

    Harish Harish
    This document outlines the production of titanium dioxide via the chloride and sulfate processes. It discusses the raw materials, methodology, material and energy balances, and future work. The key steps are digesting ilmenite or rutile ore with chlorine or sulfuric acid to produce titanium tetrachloride or titanium sulfate, then oxidizing the resulting products to produce pure titanium dioxide. Material and energy balances were performed and showed the inputs, outputs, and heat transferred for the overall processes. Future work includes designing the specific process, comparing data to simulation software, and developing a plant layout.

    PRODUCTION OF

    INTRODUCTI
    ON
    • Titanium Dioxide also called Titania, is a white, opaque,
    naturally occurring mineral existing in a number of
    crystalline forms,
    • The most important of which are rutile and anatase.
    • These naturally occurring oxide forms can be mined
    and serve as a source for commercial titanium.
    • Titanium dioxide is used universally in the paints and
    coatings industry, and it has replaced any other white
    pigment in the market.
    • Titanium dioxide can be used in wastewater remediation.
    OBJECTIVE
    • To design an effective process for the production of titanium dioxide
    • To evaluate the material and energy balances for the processes
    • To perform the calculations for the design of process equipments for the
    production of titanium dioxide
    • To compare the datas with the software ASPEN HYSYS
    • To develop the plant layout
    SOURCE

    Ilmenite (FeO.TiO2) and rutile (TiO2) are the two


    chief minerals of titanium.

    RAW MATERIALS
    • TiO2
    • Chlorine TiO2 mineral in rutile form
    • Coke
    • Oxygen
    CHLORIDE PROCESS
    The chloride process is used to separate titanium from its ores. The
    goal of the process is to win high purity titanium dioxide from ores such
    as ilmenite (FeTiO3) and rutile (TiO2). The strategy exploits the volatility of
    TiCl4, which is readily purified and converted to the dioxide.

    SULPHATE PROCESS

    The sulfate process, ilmenite is digested with concentrated sulfuric


    acid (H2SO4) to produce TiOSO4, which is then hydrolyzed to produce solid
    hydrated TiO2. The solid hydrated TiO2 is later calcined at 800–900 °C to
    produce white TiO2 
    METHODOLOGY

    Production Reactions:
    The reactions involved in the manufacture of titanium
    dioxide are,
    2TiO2 + 4Cl2 + 3C 2TiCl4 + CO2 + 2CO
    (Impure)
    TiCl4 + O2 TiO2 + 2Cl2
    (Pure)
