Abstract
Method and apparatus for preparing at least one metal chloride from metal oxide containing material comprising calcining the metal oxide containing material under temperature conditions sufficient to obtain a calcined product comprising at least one metal oxide; and selectively chlorinating the calcined product to form at least one metal chloride.
Claims20
A method for preparing at least one metal chloride from metal oxide containing material comprising:
- calcining the metal oxide containing material under temperature conditions sufficient to obtain a calcined product comprising at least one metal oxide;
- and
- selectively chlorinating the calcined product to form at least one metal chloride.
A method for conserving energy in a metal chloride generating process comprising:
- combusting a heat source to calcine metal oxide containing material;
- and
- chlorinating at least one metal oxide from the metal oxide containing material;
- and
- diverting energy from at least one of the combusting and the chlorinating to other parts of the process.
