Combined production of synthetic rutile in the sulfate TiO

Abstract. This paper describes a novel process for preparation of synthetic rutile using an intermediate, sulfated ilmenite from the sulfate TiO2 process as the feedstock. The synthetic rutile can be obtained by selective thermal decomposition of the sulfated ilmenite, followed by targeted leaching for removal of various impurities.
