Extractive metallurgy of vanadium-containing titaniferous magnetite ores: a review

Many technologies exist for the treatment of titaniferous magnetites that contain vanadium. Each process is designed based on the relative amounts of titanium, vanadium and iron. In some cases, steelmaking is the primary purpose followed by the secondary recovery of vanadium. In others, the vanadium is the main product. This paper presents a review of these technologies
