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

Abstract

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."
