IMPROVED GRINDING OF TITANIFEROUS ORES TO ENHANCE RECOVERY OF TITANIUM DIOXIDE

摘要

Significant enhancement of titanium dioxide recovery from a titaniferous ore is achieved by improving the efficiency of the comminution of the ore with the use of polyols of the formula: R - C &lparstr& R min OH)3 wherein R is alkyl (C1-C4), or hydroxyalkyl (C1-C4) containing up to 3 hydroxy groups, and wherein R min is alkylene (C1-C3).
