Abstract
In this thesis paper, the possibility of extracting titanium dioxide concentrate is examined on the deposit recently discovered in Mongolia. According to the drill core test performed by Aachen University, the deposit contains a considerable amount of leucoxene, which is the weathered product of ilmenite.
In the past, many scientists studied how to improve the poor efficiency of conventional ilmenite collectors. Consequently, the use of lead and cupric ion activators and mixed flotation showed noticeable improvement in ilmenite floatability.
Moreover, the pre-removal of magnetite from the titanium ore is proven to be a practical arrangement to achieve higher recovery in flotation.
Based on these studies, the scheme for enriching titanium dioxide concentrate from the titanium ore sample is developed.
