Abstract (en)

[origin: WO02072205A2] During processing of cyclone dust resulting from the chlorination of titanium ore, a disposable filter cake having a dry residue of greater than 40 % (without inert portions serving as a supporting structure), regardless of whether ilmenite, slag or natural or artificial rutile or mixtures therefrom were used as a raw material, is obtained when one or a combination of the following method steps is carried out: before increasing to a pH value ranging from 9 to 12, a rapid neutralization step is conducted whereby for all volume elements of the liquid, the same precipitation conditions can be maintained in a pH range of 6 to 9; a (preferably anionic) flocculation aid is added before thickening, and; a (preferably cationic) flocculation aid is mixed into the slurry after thickening. All measures improve the flocculation and render the processing more economical.

[origin: WO02072205A2] During processing of cyclone dust (4) resulting from the chlorination of titanium ore, a disposable filter cake (26) having a dry residue of greater than 40 % (without inert portions serving as a supporting structure), regardless of whether ilmenite, slag or natural or artificial rutile or mixtures thereof were used as a raw material, is obtained when one or a combination of the following method steps is carried out: before increasing to a pH value ranging from 9 to 12 in a neutralization tank (13), a rapid neutralization step (12) is conducted whereby for all volume elements of the liquid, the same precipitation conditions can be maintained in a pH range of 6 to 9; a (preferably anionic) flocculation aid (22) is added before thickening, and; a (preferably cationic) second flocculation aid is mixed into the slurry after thickening. All measures improve the flocculation and render the processing more economical.
