An Electrochemical Dissolution Study Of Ilmenite Fraction Of Beach Sand In Sulphuric Acid Solution, Rostom Ali M., K. Biswas R., Golam Zakaria Md.

Journal of Electrochemistry

Electrochemical techniques have been used to investigate the dissolution behaviors of ilmenite fraction of beach sand of Bangladesh in sulfuric acid solutions at various temperatures. It is seen from the cyclic voltammetric studies indicated that the dissolution of ilmenite is was very difficult without the addition of carbon powder in ilmenite. The effects of ilmenite-carbon ratio, acid concentration and temperature on cyclic voltammograms have been investigated to understand the dissolution process of ilmenite. The investigated results showed that the dissolution rate of ilmenite (FeTiO₃) is was slow at low applied reduction potentials and temperatures. However, the dissolution rate …
