Description

The method for preparing metal titanium and titanium base alloy
Technical field:
The present invention relates to field, Non-ferrous Metallurgy fused salt electrolysis field, this method is a raw material with main development titanium dioxide, titanium tetrachloride, titanium dichloride and fluotitanate, electrolysis TiO in electrolyzer 2, TiCl 4With one or more multiple combinations of fluotitanate, preparation metal titanium or titanium base master alloy; Or adopt metal (or metallic compound) thermal reduction TiO in advance 2, prepare the metal titanium that contains finite concentration oxygen (O), final deoxygenation is carried out in electrolysis in the aluminium cell then.
Background technology:
It is little that titanium has density, the specific tenacity height, and advantage such as anti-oxidant, antifatigue, erosion resistance is outstanding 26S Proteasome Structure and Function material, enjoys good reputations such as " all can metal ", " moving towards the rare giant of 21 century ".Used widely in fields such as national defence, aerospace, navigation, oil, chemical industry, medical treatment, metallurgy.
The content of titanium in the earth's crust is very abundant, is only second to aluminium, iron, magnesium in the structural metal, occupies the 4th, and nisi rare.Because the metallurgical technology more complicated of titanium causes titanium and products thereof production cost too high, and its range of application is very restricted.But according to its reserves and performance, titanium probably becomes the 3rd kind of practical metal after iron, aluminium, therefore exploitation prospect is very wide, and the research association that titanium is extracted the research, particularly low-cost extracting process of metallurgical technology and technology receives concern more and more widely.The main method of producing metal titanium at present has:
1. hot reducing method
1.1 magnesium reduction process
Kroll method (magnesium reduction TiCl 4Method)
This method is that 1940W.J.Kroll proposes, and principle is Mg+TiCl 4=MgCl 2+ Ti, its advantage is to use the easy to handle titanium tetrachloride, and product purity is higher, and reductive agent magnesium can utilize etc. again.The Kroll method is given birth to technology: the operational path that adopts " titanium mineral (rutile/titanium slag/ilmenite → titanium slag) → titanium tetrachloride → titanium sponge ".
Produce titanium slag: under 1600~1900 ℃ high temperature, ilmenite is that reductive agent carries out selective reduction with refinery coke or hard coal in electric arc furnace, the titanium slag and the byproduct pig iron, the two separates by density difference is different, titanium is enriched in the slag.
Preparation titanium tetrachloride: titanium slag or natural/artificial rutile are mixed with refinery coke, generate crude titanic chloride with chlorine reaction and remove high-boiling-point impurity by distillation method then; Remove lower-boiling impurity by rectification method then, vanadium generally adopts copper method, aluminium method or hydrogen sulfide method to remove.
The reducing metal titanium is under the atmosphere of 800-900 ℃ and protection of inert gas, in the reactor of airtight steel, puts into TiCl with certain flow velocity 4With the fused reactive magnesium, obtain the spongy metal titanium, byproduct MgCl 2Can be used as the raw material of electrolytic magnesium.
1.2 sodium thermoreduction method and other hot reducing method (Hunter method)
The Hunter method is the method for producing the high pure metal titanium the earliest, and ultimate principle is:
TiCl 4(g)+4Na=Ti(s)+4NaCl
Sodium reduction TiCl 4Method one-stage process and two-stage method are arranged.The result lacks than the titanium of producing with the Kroll method of same scale with the titanium amount that the Hunter method is produced.The Hunter method does not enlarge because of capacity of equipment in recent years, and the electrolytic sodium production technology does not have major progress and abandoned.
2.TiCl 4Electrolytic process
TiCl 4Electrolytic reduction once be considered to unique method that might replace Kroll technology, the mechanism of titanium tetrachloride reduction of fused salts titanium is as follows:
Ti 4++e→Ti 3+
Ti 3++e→Ti 2+
Ti 2++e→Ti
Total reaction is: TiCl 4=Ti+2Cl 2
According to the electrolysis temperature difference, warm electrolysis and high-temperature electrolysis method are two kinds in can being divided into.
2.1 middle temperature electrolysis: adopting the muriate of basic metal or alkaline-earth metal is ionogen, and electrolysis temperature is 600~1000 ℃, electrolysis TiCl under protection of inert gas 4, but exist such as TiCl 4Solubleness in melting salt is lower, current efficiency is low, produce technical problems such as chlorine contaminate environment, the easy oxidation of metal powder can't carry out problems such as suitability for industrialized production.
2.2 high-temperature electrolysis: when being higher than 1700 ℃, titanium (fusing point 1943K) becomes liquid state, can equally realize serialization production to electrolytic aluminum, and the purity of metal titanium is higher, but working condition is comparatively harsh.
3.TiO 2Electrolytic reduction
With TiCl 4Compare, reduction titanium dioxide has shortened Production Flow Chart, and be convenient to store and transportation, and do not have chlorine and participate in reaction, be a kind of novel pollution-free green metallurgical technology, caused widely and paid close attention to.
4.FFC Cambridge technology
Its mechanism is: when calcium is deposited on the titanium dioxide negative electrode, can generate CaO with the oxygen reaction on the negative electrode, CaO then is dissolved in CaCl 2Melt in the salt.Another kind explanation to mechanism is: with calcium sediment-filled phase ratio, the ionization of oxygen can take place under low relatively cathode potential, and titanium oxide just can directly be reduced into metal titanium by electrochemical process, rather than by realizing with the chemical reaction of calcium.
FFC Cambridge technological principle is: electrolytic trial is at 850 ℃~950 ℃, under the condition of argon shield, with fused CaCl 2Be electrolytic solution, graphite is anode, agglomerating TiO 2Battery lead plate is a negative electrode, at fused electrolyte CaCl 2Middle electrochemical reaction, the negative electrode TiO as a result of taking place 2Ionization goes out oxonium ion and anode migration, and titanium metal has been stayed, and obtains pure metallic titanium at negative plate place, and oxygen level constantly reduces with the increase of electrolysis time (can reach 6.0 * 10 -6Wt%).Since this technology can be from fused salt direct electrolysis TiO 2To titanium, its technical process is short, simple fast, cost is low, save the chlorination in the traditional technology, refining TiCl 4, magnesium reduction and vacuum complicated procedures of forming such as heat up in a steamer, and can reduce the cost of titanium sponge greatly, do not have chlorine especially to discharge, be a kind of pollution-free green metallurgical technology, have great superiority, be expected to obtain the Kroll method to produce cheap metal titanium, caused common concern.The technology that electrolysis TiO2 such as OS method, EMR/MSE method successively occurred.
Though the reserves of titanium in the earth's crust are bigger, the production technique of titanium sponge has multiple, really realizes the industrialized Hunter of having only method and Kroll method, and other method still rests on laboratory stage at present mostly.But the most effective production technique of extracting metal titanium at present is the Kroll method, owing to extensively adopt the Kroll method, makes that the metal titanium production cost is too high to influence its application.
