The present disclosure provides a method for co-extraction of vanadium, titanium and chromium from vanadium slag. The method selectively reduces pyroxene and fayalite wrapped on spinel through low-temperature hydrogen reduction, iron removal by ferric chloride, and low-temperature leaching of the vanadium slag by oxalic acid, thereby destroying a structure of the spinel, dissociating a spinel phase and a silicate phase, and fully exposing the spinel phase. The method also directly leaches the vanadium slag at a low temperature by acidity and strong complexation of the oxalic acid, and destroys the structure of the spinel, such that vanadium, titanium, chromium and oxalate are complexed into a solution to co-extract vanadium, titanium and chromium. The present disclosure extracts vanadium, titanium and chromium from the vanadium slag, with a leaching rate each being greater than 99%.

One object of the present disclosure is to provide a production method of magnesium hydride that is free of carbon dioxide and has high production efficiency, a power generation system that does not emit carbon dioxide or radiation using magnesium hydride, and an apparatus for producing magnesium hydride; therefore, the method for producing magnesium hydride of the present disclosure comprises a procedure for irradiating a magnesium compound different from magnesium hydride with hydrogen plasma, and a procedure for depositing a magnesium product containing magnesium hydride on a depositor for depositing magnesium hydride disposed within the range in which hydrogen plasma is present, wherein the surface temperature of the depositor is kept no more than a predetermined temperature at which magnesium hydride precipitates.

Provided is a method for producing highly pure titanium metal powder or titanium alloy powder which may be used in various fields. The method includes steps of: a) partially reducing each of at least one metal oxide and a titanium oxide; b) preparing a first mixture by mixing the partially reduced metal oxide and titanium oxide together; c) preparing a second mixture by mixing the first mixture with calcium hydride; and d) producing titanium metal or a titanium alloy by completely reducing the second mixture.

A method (500) for producing a titanium product is disclosed. The method (500) can include obtaining TiO.sub.2-slag (501) and reducing impurities in the TiO.sub.2-slag (502) to form purified TiO.sub.2 (503). The method (500) can also include reducing the purified TiO.sub.2 using a metallic reducing agent (504) to form a hydrogenated titanium product comprising TiH.sub.2 (505). The hydrogenated titanium product can be dehydrogenated (506) to form a titanium product (508). The titanium product can also be optionally deoxygenated (507) to reduce oxygen content.

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.

A method (400) for producing a titanium product is disclosed. The method (400) can include obtaining TiO.sub.2-slag (401), and producing a titanium product from the TiO.sub.2-slag using a metallic reducing agent (402) at a moderate temperature and a pressure to directly produce a titanium product chemically separated from metal impurities in the TiO.sub.2 slag (403). The titanium product can comprise TiH.sub.2 and optionally elemental titanium. Impurities in the titanium product can then removed (404) by leaching, purifying and separation to form a purified titanium product.
