Magnesium Reduction of Titanium Tetrachloride

  • Published:
Inorganic Materials Aims and scope

Abstract

The reasons for the slow rate of reaction between TiCl4 vapor and a clean Mg surface are clarified, and the role of the magnesium reduction of titanium chlorides in the gas phase and liquid magnesium chloride film is discussed. The mechanisms for the formation of spongy titanium and its deposition on the walls of commercial reactors are elucidated. A continuous procedure is proposed for the preparation of titanium powder.
