Abstract

There is an abundance of vanadium-titanium magnetite in Panzhihua, China, which contains more than 8.73 × 108 tons of TiO2 accounting for 90.6% of the national reserves. To fully utilize Panzhihua titanium resources, many processes were proposed. The development and utilization of vanadium-titanium magnetite resource have extremely vital significance. However, its current use of technology is inadequate. This article is a review on techniques to make comprehensive use of vanadium-titanium magnetite, especially in the titanium extraction, and the existing problems are also introduced. The authors predict its possible tendency of development of comprehensive utilization of vanadium-titanium magnetite in the future.
