description In this study, the effect of citric acid on iron leaching from titanium gypsum (TiG) was systematically investigated. The conditions for the leaching of valuable metals were optimized while varying such parameters as the leaching time, citric acid mass fraction, leaching temperature, and the liquid–solid ratio. It was found that under the conditions of a citric acid mass fraction of 10%, at a 80 °C leaching temperature, a leaching duration of 80–90 min and a liquid–solid ratio of 8, the whiteness of titanium gypsum (TiG) increased from 8.1 to 36.5, and the leaching efficiencies of iron reached 84.37%. The kinetic analysis indicated that the leaching process of iron from TiG was controlled by the reaction product layer from 0–20 min, while the leaching process of iron from TiG was controlled by internal diffusion from 20–90 min. The apparent activation energy of the leaching reactions was 33.91 kJ/mol and 16.59 kJ/mol, respectively. High-value-added calcium oxalate and ferrous oxalate were prepared from the calcium and iron in the filtrate of the oxalic acid extraction. The leaching liquid could be recycled, which will provide a new way to utilize titanium gypsum.
