This is an article in the field of ceramics and composites. Taking ilmenite ore as the research object, the possible phase transformation of FeTiO3 in concrete liquid phase environment was analyzed in order to provide a basis for the utilization of ilmenite tailings. The thermodynamic stability of ilmenite (FeTiO3) was analyzed by thermodynamic calculation. Ilmenite ore powder was soaked in simulated concrete pore solution at 20 ℃ and 80 ℃ for 28 d and 270 d, XRD and SEM/EDS were used to detect mineral transformation. Using ilmenite ore to replace part of the gravel to prepare concrete, the influence on concrete strength at 20 ℃ and 80 ℃ was studied respectively. The results of thermodynamic calculations show that FeTiO3 is unstable in the environment of O2 and converts into Fe3O4 or Fe2O3 and TiO2. The immersion experiment of ilmenite in the simulated concrete pore solution shows that ilmenite has no obvious changes. The concrete strength test shows that at 20 ℃ and 80 ℃, when ilmenite ore replaces 5% crushed stone, the compressive strength of concrete increases, and when the replacement is 15%, the compressive strength decreases, the reason is that the quartz in the ilmenite ore has undergone an alkali aggregate reaction.
