A promising source of Rare-Earth Metals (REM) is the mine refuses of Obukhov deposit?s zircon concentrate, which contain 3.53% of the sum of REM oxides. Chlorination is an effective method for transferring metals from crude ore to chlorides convenient for subsequent separation, purification and production of marketable products. The advantage of such method is absence of sewage and discharge of harmful substances into the atmosphere, which is an effective measure for environmental protection. The paper performs a ...

Researches of ilmenite reduction kinetics defining intensity of process course are carried out for many years. Main characteri stic is concentrate reducibility degree, characterizing process speed in concrete conditions. Ilmenite reduction process is very complicated, and its speed depends on many factors - oxides nature, temperature and degrees of concentrate grinding. Iron complicates ilmenite concentrate use in its chlorination process for obtaining titanium tetrachloride - an initial product for obtaining of s...
