Abstract
The Gibbs energies of formation of Ti(IV) hydrolysis forms have been obtained, and they can be used to calculate the TiO2 solubility as a function of the hydrogen ion concentration (pH). The dependence of the change of the Gibbs energy during dissolution of various ilmenites on mole fraction of TiO2 in compounds is established. A method to increase the rate of dissolution of low soluble titanates by their conversion into compounds with a higher solubility is proposed.
