Abstract
The mechanism of rutile formation from titanium slag containing 60-65% TiO2 was studied with the aim of producing synthetic rutile concentra tes as titanium stock. Conditions were found that ensure maximum degre e of oxidation and maximum yield of rutile from slag. The data on slag oxidation kinetics obtained in the study indicated that recrystalliza tion of the rutile phase occurs at the final oxidation stage requiring holding the slag for at least 120 min at the optimum oxidation temper ature (900 degrees C).
