Analysis of the Physicochemical Efficiency of the Electroflotation Recovery of Titanium Tetrachloride Hydrolysis Products from Industrial Waste

Resumo

The physicochemical efficiency was studied for the electroflotation recovery of TiCl₄ hydrolysis products from aqueous solutions of electrolytes, which modeled industrial waste of metallurgical production. The effect of surfactants of various natures on the efficiency of the electroflotation recovery of dispersed titanium(IV) compounds was experimentally investigated over a wide pH range. It was determined that the electroflotation recovery of TiCl₄ hydrolysis products is quite efficient, with the maximum degree of recovery being 98–99%.
