Titanium Dioxide Nano-Particles Recovered From Red Sediment Placer Low Graded Ilmenite With Microwave Heating Followed by Sds Solution

Abstract Microwave is source of environmentally heating of minerals. The present paper deals about the recovery of titania in form of slag with microwave reduction of oxidized ilmenite. This paper was further investigated for the recovery of upgraded titania from microwave heat treatment of titania obtained from ilmenite. The results show upgraded titania contain a very high graded TiO2 components with less amounts of alkaline-earth materials and other impurities as compared to titanium obtained from ilmenite. The upgraded titania was produced the crack and development of pores in the sample surface. An attempt was also made to prepare nano-titania material with suitable leaching and microwave heating. The results with TEM analysis and XRD analysis show the formation of nano titanium dioxide particles. The titanium dioxide nano materials can widely be used in pharmacy and medical industries, paints and coatings industries,, catalysts, semiconductors, optoelectronics industries and others including water filters areas.
