Production Rate of Titanium by Reduction of Titanium Tetrachloride with Magnesium.

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...

Preparation of titanium dioxide (TiO2) from sludge produced by titanium tetrachloride (TiCl4) flocculation of wastewater.

Sludge disposal is one of the most costly and environmentally problematic challenges of modern wastewater treatment worldwide. In this study, a new process was developed, which has a significant potential for lower cost of waste disposal, protection of the environment and public health, and yield of economically useful byproducts. Titanium oxide (TiO2), which is the most widely used metal oxide...

Synthesis of Nano-Sized Titania Particles by Hydrolysis of Titanium Tetrachloride

Nano-sized titanium dioxide TiO2 powder was successfully prepared from its precursor titanium (IV) chloride by a simple and new wet chemical method. TiCl4 were used as precursor in hydrogen peroxide, H2O2 and ethanol. This solution was then peptized using nitric acid and heated under reflux at 80°C. Their physico-chemical properties were then characterized by transmission electron microscopy (T...
