Preparation of High-Grade Titania Slag from Ilmenite-Bearing High Ca and Mg by Vacuum Smelting Method KAI ZHANG, XUEWEI LV, RUN HUANG, BING SONG, and FEI XI Ilmenite produced from the Panxi area in China has high impurities such as Ca and Mg. Highgrade titanium (Ti) slag can be obtained by the electric arc furnace process, a traditional method of treating ilmenite. Thus, Ti slag prepared from the Panxi ilmenite contains high CaO and MgO, exceeding 5 pct of the slag content. This high CaO and MgO content confers considerable difficulty in producing titania (TiO2) white using fluidizing chlorination. In this study, a new process named vacuum separation was found to produce high-grade TiO2 materials. The effects of separation temperature and time on the TiO2 grade were studied. The high-grade TiO2 slag, which has 93 pct TiO2,
