Choosing the technology of combined processing of titanium-rare-metal raw materials

The main rules and principles which govern the choice of new variants for chemical technology of combined processing of titanium-rare-metal raw materials are considered. The existing variants of the technology are characterized from the viewpoint of their technological, economical, and ecological efficiency and social importance for a given region. A realistic choice of a technology from a large number of available variants should take into account the entire combination of their advantages and disadvantages The implementation of a rational technological scheme will result in the creation of economically profitable and efficient domestic production satisfying the demands of Russian industry in rare-metal and titanium materials. Directions are noted in which it is expedient to continue studies on designing a rational technology of loparite concentrate or some other concentrate.
