Titanium is one of the most valuable elements found in blast furnace slag, with a concentration of approximate 2.7%. Because of the low level of titanium in slag, the best method of extraction is hydrometallurgy. In this study, parameters such as slag particle size, temperature, concentration of acid, solid-to-liquid ratio, and ultrasonic wave time were used to determine the recovery of titanium. Parameters such as time and stirring speed were kept constant. To examine the results, a two-level fractional factorial experimental design was used. Particle sizes in the ranges of 2.35−3.36 and <0.85 mm, temperatures of 25−65 °C, acid concentrations of 1−2 M, solid-to-liquid ratios of 1:10−1:30 g/L, and ultrasonic wave times of 0−20 min were studied. A total of 20 tests were performed, and using statistical analysis and ANOVA, the optimum conditions were identified, and a confirmation test was also performed. A recovery of titanium of over 98% was determined, and the predicted and actual results were determined to be almost identical.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
