The comprehensive recovery of iron and titanium resources from early tailings were systematically attempted from fundamental work to industrial application. Geochemical characterization of the tailings was first conducted, followed by the iron recovery and titanium recovery. Iron recovery was mainly achieved through a series of magnetic separation, and titanium recovery was on the combination of magnetic pre-concentration and flotation separation. Special for titanium recovery, different pretreatment methods including ultrasonic cleaning and attrition-scrubbing were studied to reduce the influence of serious surface pollution of early tailings on ilmenite floatability, and attrition-scrubbing proved to be the best one. Associated mechanisms of flocculants influence on ilmenite floatability and the attrition-scrubbing effects were explored using micro-flotation and XPS tests. After a series of fundamental studies, the industrial production of iron and ilmenite concentrate went into operation and the industrial debugging results were roughly satisfactory. At last, a brief economic analysis was given for the present work.
