A method for preparing self-doped titanium-niobium oxide negative electrode material using a waste titanium dioxide carrier includes preparing self-doped TiNb.sub.2O.sub.7 negative electrode material for lithium-ion battery by using waste titanium dioxide carrier comprises the following steps: S1. converting a waste titanium dioxide carrier into TiO.sub.2 powder with the Ti content of 95% and the Al content of 0.1-4.0%, based on the weight of oxide, respectively; and S2. mixing the TiO.sub.2 powder and Nb.sub.2O.sub.5 powder to form a mixture, roasting the mixture, and collecting the generated Al self-doped TiNb.sub.2O.sub.7, so as to obtain the self-doped TiNb.sub.2O.sub.7 negative electrode material. According to the method disclosed by the present invention, impurities represented by TiO.sub.2 and Al.sub.2O.sub.3 in the waste titanium dioxide carrier can be directly recycled, a self-doped TiNb.sub.2O.sub.7 (titanium niobium oxide) negative electrode material.

The invention relates to a process for extracting metals and salts from titanium-bearing minerals such as perovskite. More particularly, although not exclusively, the invention relates to extracting titanium dioxide and optionally other compounds from melter slag derived from an iron-making process.

Digestion of a laterite ore with sulfuric acid dissolves all constituents except silica. The resulting sulfatesaluminum sulfate, ferric sulfate, titanyl sulfate, and magnesium sulfateremain in solution at approximately 90 C. Hot filtration separates silica. Solution flow over metallic iron reduces ferric sulfate to ferrous sulfate. Controlled ammonia addition promotes hydrolysis and precipitation of hydrated titania from titanyl sulfate that is removed by filtration. Addition of ammonium sulfate forms ferrous ammonium sulfate and ammonium aluminum sulfate solutions. Alum is preferentially separated by crystallization. Addition of ammonium bicarbonate to an ammonium alum solution precipitates ammonium aluminum carbonate which may be heated to produce alumina, ammonia, and carbon dioxide. The remaining iron rich liquor also contains magnesium sulfate. The addition of oxalic acid generates insoluble ferrous oxalate which is thermally decomposed to ferrous oxide and carbon monoxide which is used to reduce the ferrous oxide to metallic iron. Further oxalic acid addition precipitates magnesium oxalate which is thermally decomposed to magnesium oxide.

A method of making upgraded synthetic rutile (100) can include binding ilmenite ultrafine particles together with a binder to form green pellets (110). Iron can be reduced in the green pellets by heating the green pellets to a reducing temperature under a reducing atmosphere (120). The ilmenite ultrafine particles within the green pellets can be at least partially sintered together by heating the green pellets at a sintering temperature to form at least partially sintered pellets (130). Iron can be removed from the at least partially sintered pellets by leaching to form upgraded synthetic rutile (140).
