The invention relates to processes for the extraction of products from titanium-bearing materials or a composition produced in a process for the production of titanium dioxide, and more particularly, although not exclusively, extracting titanium dioxide and/or one or more other products from iron making slag.

The present application pertains to processes for making calcium oxide and/or sulfuric acid from calcium sulfate. In some embodiments the processes comprise reacting a component comprising calcium sulfate with a second component comprising magnesium sulfite under conditions to form a solid comprising calcium sulfite and a solution comprising magnesium sulfate. Next, at least a portion of the solid comprising calcium sulfite is decomposed to form a second solid comprising calcium oxide, or calcium hydroxide, or cement, or clinker, or any combination thereof.

A forest fire retardant composition contains a retardant compound that includes a phosphate salt. The phosphate salt may include diammonium phosphate, diammonium orthophosphate, monoammonium phosphate, monoammonium orthophosphate, monosodium phosphate, disodium phosphate, disodium phosphate hydrate, sodium ammonium phosphate, sodium ammonium phosphate hydrate, sodium tripolyphosphate, trisodium phosphate, or dipotassium phosphate, and combinations thereof. The forest fire retardant composition may include an ammonium source. The composition may be in the form of a dry concentrate, a liquid concentrate, or a final diluted product. The final diluted product is effective in suppressing, retarding, and controlling forest fires while exhibiting corrosion resistance and low toxicity.

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.
