Abstract

The preferential chlorination reaction of iron constituents in roasted ilmenite ore was studied in an experimental fluidized bed reactor. The influence of the roasting temperature on the selectivity of chlorination reactions was also examined. It was found that preferential iron chlorination is dependent on roasted product morphology. Effects of chemical and process variables in the fluidized bed reactor, such as chlorination temperature, chlorine gas partial pressure, gas-solid contact time and the quantity of coke added, were investigated in order to study the kinetics of the preferential chlorination reaction. A modified bubble assemblage model was applied to analyze behavior of gases and solids in the reactor. The chlorination reaction rate constant was found to be a function of temperature and coke quantity present.
