RESEARCH ON THE METALLURGY, CHEMISTRY AND ELECTROCHEMISTRY OF TITANIUM,
Abstract
A survey of past and present Soviet research into the metallurgy, chemistry and electrochemistry of titanium is presented. The studies of the electrochemistry of titanium ores have made it possible to separate metals during the processing of Fe-Ti-V, Fe-Ti-Nb-rare metal ores and thus provide a workable basis for an efficient mass-scale comprehensive recovery of metals from complex titanium ores. These studies also have resulted in confirming the sorption mechanism of the reduction of iron titanates and developing and introducing the technology of melting of high-titanium alloys. In recent years Soviet industry has made major advances in developing the technology and equipment for the chlorination of titanium and the condensation and purification of titanium chloride. The potential inherent in the chlorine method of the production of titanium dioxide pigment as compared with the classical sulfuric acid method, is pointed out. The studies dealing with the electrochemistry of titanium in molten media chiefly pertain to research into the processes of the electrochemical reduction of titanium compounds in molten media.
