Description

The extracting method of a kind of metal titanium
Technical field
The method of titanium is produced in a kind of fused salt electrolysis, it relates to a kind of method of the method, particularly extracting titanium from electrolyzed molten salt of fused salt electrolysis metallurgical production metal.
Background technology
Titanium is the light metal in refractory metal, and the intensity of titanium alloy can compare favourably with high-strength steel, has well heat-resisting and resistance to low temperature and good corrosion resistance simultaneously. These advantages of titanium so that it is be widely used in the fields such as space flight, oil, the energy, traffic, chemical industry, biomedicine, and its Application Areas is constantly expanded. Some expert even predicts, titanium will become " the 3rd metal " after iron, aluminium, and 21st century will be " century of titanium ". But the price of titanium is too expensive, mainly leaching process due to titanium is too complicated. The method of widespread use in the industrial production only l937 Luxembourg scientist Kroll.W.A. magnesium reduction TiCl at present4Successfully produce the Kroll method of titanium sponge, although through the development of decades, Kroll method has had certain improvement, but due to its technical process tediously long, each operating process is difficult to realize continuous operations, and energy consumption is too high so that the cost of titanium remains high, so the production method making great efforts to seek the titanium of a kind of serialization, low cost becomes the focus that metallurgical expert pays close attention to jointly both at home and abroad.
Various based on the smelting novel method of titanium at present, substantially can conclude as TiO2Direct electrolysis method, TiO2Calciothermy, TiO2Thermit reduction, TiO2Bromine reduction method, TiCl4Electrolytic process, TiCl4Magnesium reduction, TiCl4Sodium reduction, TiCl4Hydrogen reduction method etc. Wherein various method can be subdivided into again multiple method. Such as TiO2Direct electrolysis method can be divided into again FFC Cambridge technique (melting CaCl according to reduction mechanism, precursor sources2Middle electrochemical reduction TiO2Sintered compact), the electrochemical reduction of Ti slag, melting salt dissolves TiO2Electrochemical reduction, TiO2Carbon reduction etc.Above method respectively has relative merits, and wherein FFC Cambridge technique is method the most noticeable in current titanium extraction process. This technique detailed process is: after titania powder compression moulding, make composite cathode, graphite does anode, fused calcium chloride is as ionogen, electrolysis temperature 800 ~ 1000 DEG C, electrolysis under voltage 3.0 ~ 3.2V, the cation transport that catholyte goes out is to anode discharge, and negative electrode is directly reduced to metal titanium. The method can significantly reduce the production cost of metal titanium and titanium alloys, is that a kind of process is simple, cost brand-new material produce method lower, eco-friendly. According to open source literature, the method can under the electrolysis voltage of 3.0 ~ 3.2V, by TiO2It is reduced to metal titanium quickly, but needs the solid solution oxygen level of longer electrolysis time to reduce in metal titanium. Due to the impact of the factor such as intrinsic electronic conduction of fused salt, long-time electrolysis determines the low current efficiency (2000ppm oxygen level vs.15% current efficiency) that current most of laboratory obtains in research FFC method process.
Summary of the invention
It is an object of the invention to for the deficiency that above-mentioned prior art exists, it is provided that a kind of extracting titanium from electrolyzed molten salt method that can effectively promote electrolytic process current efficiency, reduction energy consumption.
It is an object of the invention to be achieved through the following technical solutions: by the TiO of compression moulding2Test piece and metal collector compound are as negative electrode, and using graphite as anode, in argon gas atmosphere, in the alkali metal chloride of melting, electrolysis temperature 400 ~ 700 DEG C, electrolysis voltage is 2.0 ~ 3.2V, and cathodic reduction is LixTiO2, wherein x��1; The negative electrode of taking-up is inserted melting CaCl2Ionogen resume is as negative electrode, and using graphite as anode, in argon gas atmosphere, electrolysis temperature 850 ~ 900 DEG C, electrolysis voltage 3.0 ~ 3.2V, after electrolysis terminates, negative electrode is metal titanium.
Wherein, TiO2Test piece is commercially available TiO2Powder pressing forming, pressure is 2 ~ 10MPa, and sintering temperature is 300 ~ 900 DEG C, sintering time 1 ~ 4 hour.
Above-mentioned metal collector is thread, netted or the titanium of sheet, stainless steel, molybdenum, tungsten or nickel.
Above-mentioned alkali metal halide is one or both the mixture in LiCl, LiCl and NaCl or KCl.
The present invention adopts two-step electrochemical reduction method reduction TiO2Prepare metal titanium, namely first by TiO2In alkali metal chloride fused salt, electroreduction is titanium compound at a low price, and then prepared by the electrolysis in the fused salt of chloride containing calcium of low price titanium compound metal titanium. Wherein, owing to the first step reduction process current efficiency can reach 90% (titanium valency state is reduced to+4-x(x��1 by+4) valency), so significantly improving the Faradaic current efficiency extracting titanium, reduce production energy consumption. Experiment shows, obtains compared with same oxygen content titanium with one-step electrolysis reduction method, adopts the method for the present invention, and electrolytic efficiency is the highest can promote 22%, and energy consumption declines at most 20%.
