Intensification of Sulfuric Acid Leaching of Altered Ilmenite via Adding Fluoride Activator

A new method of altered ilmenite processing has been studied. In this method, sulfuric acid is used as the reaction medium of the process, and fluoride ions are activators of the dissolving process of the rutile part of the ore raw material. The regression model of the sulfate–fluoride leaching proc...
