PCT No. PCT/AU95/00213 Sec. 371 Date Jan. 6, 1997 Sec. 102(e) Date Jan. 6, 1997 PCT Filed Apr. 13, 1995 PCT Pub. No. WO95/28503 PCT Pub. Date Oct. 26, 1995A process for alkaline leaching of a titaniferous material containing silica and alumina impurities in which spent leachant is recycled by treating to remove the silica and alumina impurities therefrom, by heating, maintaining the leachant at leaching temperature, or treating with an additive. The removal of the silica and alumina impurities by the method of the invention enables further use of the leachant.
