Abstract
In this study, leaching behavior of Ti from ilmenite was investigated for establishing an efficient process of Ti leaching. The effects of agitation speed, S/L (Solid/Liquid) ratio, leaching temperature and sulfuric acid concentration on the leaching rate of Ti was assessed. The experiment was proceeded under the conditions; temperature between 60 and 90℃ and concentration of sulfuric acid between 2~6 M after fixing agitation speed (600 rpm) and S/L ratio (1/60). As the result of kinetics, data for the leaching rate was observed to agree better to Dickinson and Heal model than any other models. The activation energy was determined to be 110.70 kJ/mol and order of reaction was determined to be 2.41 in this model. The leaching rate of Ti was influenced by both the interfacial transfer and diffusion across the product layer.
연구에서는 메카노케미컬 처리된 티탄철석(ilmenite)의 황산용액 내에서의 침출거동을 조사하였다. 교반속도, 고/액비, 시간, 침출온도 및 황산농도가 Ti 침출율에 미치는 영향을 평가하였다. 침출실험은 교반속도 600 rpm 및 고액비 1/60로 고정한 후 60~90℃범위의 온도와 2~6 M 범위의 황산농도에서 실시하였다. 실험 결과 침출 온도 및 황산 농도가 높을수록 Ti의 침출율은 증가하였으며 침출속도는 Dickinson and Heal 모델로 해석하는 것이 가장 적합하였다. 모델식에 의한 활성화 에너지(Ea)는 110.70 kJ/mol, 반응 차수(n)는 2.41이었다. 반응속도는 반응 계면의 이동(Interface transfer)과 생성물 층에서의 확산에 동시에 영향을 받는 것으로 판단된다.
