Brazil is one of the world producers of materials containing vanadium, exporting about 10 ton/year, in the form of its most common oxide, V2O5, which occurs in association with magnetite. Its industrial production process has as its first step the concentration of this mineral, where a large amount of tailings is generated, which composition is estimated between 5 percent -15 percent titanium and about 30 percent iron. Materials with these characteristics can provide a source for the recovery of titanium by chemical processes that enable the selective separation of its constituents. In this way, the characterization of a mineral tail was initially performed by conventional methods: granulometric distribution; DR-X; FR-X; Scanning Electron Microscopy and ICP-OES. Then, a thermodynamic evaluation of possible reactions with different chemical agents under conditions of temperature variation was carried out. The reactions occurred in a muffle furnace, using ceramic caskets. After reaction and eventual melting, the sample was immersed heated distilled water, then filtered and dried, and the filtered solid material was then subjected to heated 5 percent HCl, then filtered and dried. The characterization of the products was done in a similar way to the starting material. The result of the particle size distribution determined a mean particle size of 96 micrometers. Quantitative analysis of DR-X indicated 25 percent of titanium oxides and the rest of complex minerals such as Tremolita and Clinochlore IIb-2. Initial FRX analysis showed Na2O, MgO, Al2O3, SiO2, SO3, K2O, CaO, MnO, 11.3 percent TiO2 and 25.8 percent Fe2O3presentations. Thermodynamic analysis indicated the potential formation of water-soluble products containing Al and Si while Ti is added to an insoluble compound. Fe can be solubilized in the next step with HCl, where the solubilizations were markedly larger. It was observed the formation of a crystalline product, prevailing the CaTiO3 form, with the disappearance of the original phases, in one of the tests. The results also indicated that mass losses were increased in the solubilization steps with the increase in temperature and mass ratio, implemented in solid-solid roasting, however complex products were generated which hindered the concentration of Ti content. The selected process indicated the feasibility of selective solubilizations, which generate a final product with higher titanium content and reasonable recovery of this metal, making process optimization necessary.
