Titaniferous magnetite (titanomagnetite) is nominally defined as magnetite deposits containing more than one mass percent of titanium dioxide (TiO2). Titanomagnetite deposits are known for being difficult to process; this is primarily due to the complex nature of the mineral compounds that make up the ore. The complex mineralisation means …

Despite the significant increase in vanadium slag production in China, several environmental restrictions by China's Government to cut pollution may impose further constraints on vanadium slag production at steel plants. The limited capacity of
The flowsheet below shows a typical process for producing vanadium directly from titanomagnetite ore and is based on the processes used at Windimurra in Australia (Swinbourne et al., 2016), Otanmäki in Finland (Hukkanen and Walden, 1985), the Menchen mine in Brazil (Largo Resources, 2016) and the Vantra roast-leach plant in …
Titaniferous magnetite hard rock deposits are common throughout the world. Previously they have been processed to recover vanadium using the standard salt roast process, however the economics based on vanadium alone can be marginal due to the high CAPEX and OPEX, making it vulnerable in a volatile vanadium market. New Zealand Steel and …
Inthepresentstudy,theIndiantitaniferous magnetite ore contains 22wt%-24wt% TiO2, whereas the titaniferous magnetite ore with 10wt%-12wt% TiO2 has been success-fully used in blast furnaces in South Africa and China [22]. The high mass fraction of TiO2 in titaniferous magnetite ore brings about some irregularities in blast furnace op-eration ...
vanadium occurs in solid solution the magnetite (Cawthom and Molyneux, 2003). The titaniferous magnetites from the Bushveld Complex in South Africa are of economical importance and are being exploited. South Africa's vanadium-bearing titanomagnetite ares are mostly processed by four companies (Perron, 20(1):

The increased price ... produces clean concentrates for further processing. 2 Table 1: Mineralogy of titanium-bearing minerals Mineral Formula TiO 2
Approximately 15%, by weight, of magnetite is removed by 'cleaning' and 're-cleaning' of the magnetic concentrate from the first stage. This results in the upgrading of magnetite to 62.5% Fe (greater than 90% magnetite). This upgraded magnetite is then subjected to elutriation, to generate the DMS magnetite product.
