Titanium Dioxide Production from Titanium Slag (Sulfate Process)
Titanium Dioxide Operating Costs & Plant Construction Costs
This report presents a feasibility study of Titanium Dioxide production from Titanium Slag in United States. In this process, the slag is digested with sulfuric acid forming titanyl sulfate, which is hydrolyzed to hydrated titanium dioxide. Then, it is calcinated to Titanium Dioxide.
The report provides a comprehensive study of Titanium Dioxide production and related Titanium Dioxide production cost, covering three key aspects: a complete description of the Titanium Dioxide production process examined; an in-depth analysis of the related Titanium Dioxide plant capital cost (Capex); and an evaluation of the respective Titanium Dioxide plant operating costs (Opex).
The Titanium Dioxide production process description includes a block flow diagram (BFD), an overview of the industrial site installations, detailing both the process unit and the necessary infrastructure, process consumption figures and comprehensive process flow diagrams (PFD). The Titanium Dioxide plant capital cost analysis breaks down the Capex by plant cost (i.e., ISBL, OSBL and Contingency); owner's cost; working capital; and costs incurred during industrial plant commissioning and start-up. The Titanium Dioxide plant operating costs analysis covers operating expenses, including variable costs like raw materials and utilities, and fixed costs such as maintenance, labor, and depreciation.

Product
Titanium Dioxide. Titanium Dioxide is a white pigment used in paints, coatings, plastics, and cosmetics. Its high refractive index and brightness make it valuable for enhancing opacity and durability in products. Titanium dioxide is produced through the extraction and processing of titanium-bearing minerals. It is stored as a fine powder and is highly demanded in industries requiring pure, high-performance pigments.
Raw Materials
Sulfuric Acid. Sulfuric acid is one of the most widely used industrial chemicals, serving as a key component in fertilizer production, mineral processing, and chemical manufacturing. It is also used in the refining of petroleum and metal ores. Sulfuric acid is produced via the contact process, where sulfur dioxide is oxidized and absorbed in water. It is stored as a liquid and is crucial for processes like phosphate fertilizer production and in lead-acid batteries.
Titanium Slag. Titanium slag is a high-grade feedstock rich in titanium dioxide (TiO2), used in the production of titanium metal and white pigments for paints, plastics, and paper. It is produced by smelting ilmenite ore in electric furnaces. Stored as a solid, titanium slag is essential in the chloride process for producing titanium dioxide, which is valued for its opacity, whiteness, and UV-blocking properties in coatings and plastics.
