Preparation of Synthetic Titania Slag Relevant to the Industrial Smelting Process Using an Induction Furnace

A high titania slag that is used as a feedstock for TiO2 manufacturing obtained by ilmenite smelting (FeO.TiO2). The composition of the dependent on mineral preparation, i.e., in our study. At laboratory scale, slags are mostly using raw material. An easy and simple way would be to prepare synthetic individual components heating them temperature furnace. has oxidizing nature requires an inert atmosphere prevent oxidation well molybdenum crucible. This paper describes preparation induction furnace study phases formed slag. X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), inductively coupled plasma-optical emission spectroscopy (ICP-OES) were analytical techniques studying comparison between industrial was performed test possibility preparing per required composition. show similar phase formation slags, which means identical slags.
