This article presents the technology of niobium recovery by processing of chloride residues generated during the chlorination of titanium slags. For waste processing, a two-stage leaching technology is proposed. Water is used at the first stage of leaching and hydrochloric acid 4.0 M is used at the second stage. For the purpose of sorption of niobium from the solution composition obtained during leaching, cation-exchange sorbents Purolite-C104 and KU-2-8 H were used. By the usage of Purolite-C104 ion exchange resin the sorption efficiency of niobium from a solution with a concentration of 2 g/l was about 71.0 % (0.071 g/g) in 3.5 hours, while for KU-2-8 H ion exchange resin, sorption efficiency was about 89.0 % (0.089 g/g).
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.
