Method for integrated processing of titanium-containing raw materials to obtain high added value products based on titanium, iron, calcium and nitrogen

The present invention relates to the processing of natural titanium-containing feedstock, mainly ilmenite concentrate, including ilmenite ores with a low TiO2 content, into products with high added value without generating any liquid or solid waste. The method according to the invention comprises the following stages: digesting ilmenite concentrate, processing the solid residue following ilmenite concentrate digestion, hydrolysis of titanium oxychloride, washing titanium oxides/hydroxides precipitate from impurities, calcination of titanium oxides/hydroxides precipitate, precipitation of iron hydroxides to obtain black, red and yellow iron oxide pigments, processing the mother liquor containing calcium chloride, regeneration of hydrogen chloride from ammonium chloride solution, obtaining ammonium sulfate and ammonium sulfate crystallization, obtaining crystalline ammonium chloride. The resulting products are pigments, pigment fillers, mineral fertilizers, construction materials, raw materials for the production of metals, and other products; they are used in various fields of application such as paint and coatings industry, pulp and paper industry, in the production of plastics, in metallurgy, in agricultural, construction industries and others.
