Abstract: Ilmenite has been leached with 6 g eq dm-3 hydrochloric and/or sulphuric acid after being roasted at (700±15)0  C; with LPG flow rate of 230 cm3 min-1 for 75 min at a partical size of 63-125 µm. The maximum weight percentages of metals dissolved from the roasted mass are ~ 85% titanium and 52.1% iron with 6 g eq dm-3 hydrochloric acid whereas it is 52.3% titanium and 60.8% iron with 6 g eq dm-3 sulphuric acid system. The optimum leaching with hydrochloric acid solution requires a higher acid concentration then 6 g eq dm-3 1100 C temperature, solid to liquid phase ratio (S/L) of 0.02 kg dm-3 and a pulp agitation speed of 350 rpm for 5h. Identical concentration of sulpuric acid always gives poorer dissolution. Comparison of the X-ray powder diffraction patterns (XRD) of ilmenite and the roasted mass suggests certain chemical/physical changes occurring during treatment.
