High-Speed Titanium Production by Magnesiothermic Reduction of Titanium Trichloride

Production of titanium tetrachloride (TiCl4) from titanium ores: A review

Titanium (Ti) is the ninth most abundant element on earth. The titanium mineral ores are widely distributed in different parts of the world. The two main ores of titanium include rutile (TiO2) and ilmenite (FeO.TiO2). It is aimed to provide the readers with an insight to the main processes currently employed to extract and recover titanium tetrachloride (TiCl4) from different titanium ores. Due...

TITANIUM ALUMINIDES SYNTHESIS BY ALUMINO-CALCIOTHERMIC REDUCTION OF TiO2

Abstract: Production of titanium aluminides in TiO2-Al-Ca system has been investigated. For this purpose, different compositions of raw materials were studied in a special reaction vessel. In a special case, the non-completed reaction of TiO2 with Al and Ca resulted in the production of granulates of titanium aluminides especially Ti3Al and other Ti – Al phases as the metallic product and C...

Production of Tantalum Powder by Magnesiothermic Reduction of Feed Preform

To develop an effective process for tantalum powder production, a new preform reduction process (PRP) based on the magnesiothermic reduction of feed preform containing tantalum oxide (Ta2O5) was investigated. The feed preformwas fabricated from slurry, which was made by mixing Ta2O5 powder, flux (e.g., CaCl2), and binder. Various compositions of preform in the form of plates were prepared using...

Reduction of hydrazines to amines with aqueous solution of titanium(III) trichloride.

N-N bond cleavage in hydrazines is widely used in the preparation of amines and thus occupies a significant place in organic synthesis. In this paper, we report a new method for the reductive cleavage of N-N bonds in hydrazines by commercially available and cheap aqueous titanium(III) trichloride. The reaction proceeds smoothly under a broad pH range from acidic to neutral and basic conditions ...
