Abstract: In this paper the preparation of FeTi from ilmenite by hydrolytic coprecipitation-reduction method is presented. The method may be expressed as follows: Fe₂O₃·2TiO₂.The structure of FeTi thus made was deter-mined by X-ray Cryst allographya nd the lattice parameter of FeTi was found: α₀ =2.980Å.The conclusions of this paper are as follows,1. A new route to the preparation of FeTi from Chinese ilmenite is presented.2. It is entirely possible to remove impurity from ilmenite by simply chemical method.3. The FeTi thus prepared shows excellent absorption ability for hydrogen and the hydride formed has the composition corresponding to FeTiH_4.95, in agreement with the literature.
