Technical Field

Background
Titanium dioxide is prepared by oxidizing titanium tetrachloride in a gas phase, which is an advanced titanium dioxide manufacturing process commonly known as a chlorination-process titanium dioxide production process, and the process has the advantages of good product quality, environmental friendliness and the like, so that the process is widely adopted by developed countries, but due to technical blockade, the application of the process in China is to be developed, and one of the reasons for restricting the development is the loss of key process parameters. The laboratory-level experiment can obtain key parameters at a lower cost, but the requirements on the experiment are harsh due to the complex conditions of the titanium tetrachloride vapor phase oxidation experiment, and the existing equipment can not meet the experimental requirements, so that the experiment is restricted.
The chemical reaction formula for preparing titanium white by titanium tetrachloride gas phase oxidation is as follows:
TiCl4(g)+O2(g)=TiO2(R)+2Cl2(g);△H=-181.5856kJ/mol。
the reaction can not be carried out basically at normal temperature, and the reaction speed is obviously increased only when the temperature is higher than 600 ℃, and the reaction speed is increased along with the increase of the temperature. The reaction is exothermic, and the heat of reaction released alone is only about two thirds of the heat balance of the process, so the raw material (Ti) must be used firstCl4,O2) Preheating to keep the reaction continuously. Factors influencing the quality of titanium white products produced by the chlorination process are complex, such as: reaction temperature, additive influence, material ratio, etc.
In the current industrial production, titanium tetrachloride is preheated and an additive is fed into a reactor in a gaseous form, and oxygen preheated by a toluene flame is subjected to a meeting reaction in an environment of 1600 ℃, and the pressure in the reactor is maintained at 3 atmospheres. Due to the high reaction temperature and pressure, the process has very high requirements on production equipment, and the strict conditions are difficult to realize in a laboratory.
