TECHNOLOGICAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL ASPECTS OF UTILIZATION OF HYDROLYSIC SULFURIC ACID OF PRODUCTION OF PIGMENT TITANIUM DIOXIDE

Ukraine is one of the five countries producing strategic titanium raw materials. Testing of
titanium objects from the standpoint of complexity will ensure their rational development and
significantly increase profitability. The country has 40 deposits, of which: 1 – unique, 13 – large, 12
– prospected, 5 – developed. The deposits of titanium ores with commercial reserves have been
explored since several decades. Other deposits reserve resources have been estimated in advance
and constitute, conditionally, the "titanium reserves base of the country". At the same time, the total
reserves and the reserve base of titanium ores of Ukraine, according to their estimates, "exceed
those of any other country in the world."
