Conversion of Ilmenite to Rutile by a Carbonyl Process.

PB214780

Publication Date	1973
Personal Author	Visnapuu, A.; Marek, B. C.; Jensen, J. W.
Page Count	28
Abstract	The report describes a new carbonyl method for producing synthetic rutile from ilmenite concentrates. Reduced ilmenite is treated with pressurized carbon monoxide to convert the metallic iron to iron pentacarbonyl. The pentacarbonyl is removed, either as a liquid or vapor, leaving a synthetic rutile product. The iron pentacarbonyl can be decomposed to produce high-purity iron, and the carbon monoxide recycled.
