The article deals with the selection of reducing agent and preliminary preparation of raw materials for melting rich titanium slag (RTS) from ilmenite concentrates of the Shokash deposit. In determining the electrical resistivity of ore-coal briquettes with different reducing agents the authors have found that the most specifically suitable reducing agents for melting (BTSS) are special coke and coal, as briquettes with them, have the maximum electrical resistivity in the range of temperatures of solid-phase reduction.
