Definitions
- the process which is the subject of the invention relates to the preparation of titanium by electrolysis of molten halides. It relates more particularly to the electrolysis of titanium dissolved in an electrolyte based on chlorides using, as starting material, titanium tetrachloride.
- the electrolysis cell shown in Figure 1 has a container (1) heated from the outside to 520 ° C which contains a molten electrolyte (2), based on a LiCl KCl mixture, in which 8 to 12 are dissolved. % of TiCl 2 .
- An anode (3) surrounded by a porous diaphragm (4) is connected to the positive pole and a deposition cathode (5) to the negative pole.
- a porous diaphragm (4) is connected to the positive pole and a deposition cathode (5) to the negative pole.
- a supply cathode (6) which comprises a supply tube of TiCl 4 (7) whose perforated end (8) is immersed in the electrolyte.
- the electrolysis current 1 which passes through the electrolyte from the anode, is divided into two parts: a current I 1 which passes through the feed cathode (6) and a current I 2 which passes through the deposition cathode.
- the titanium must be present in the electrolyte in the bivalent form. It is therefore necessary to reduce to a valence close to 2 the titanium which is introduced at valence 4 in the form of TiCl 4 .
- reaction (1) and reaction (3) can very well take place at different points of the electrolyte, in particular if the latter is strongly agitated by the introduction of TiCl 4 .
- reaction (1) and reaction (3) can very well take place at different points of the electrolyte, in particular if the latter is strongly agitated by the introduction of TiCl 4 .
- the process according to the invention relates to the preparation by electrolysis of titanium dissolved in the form of halide in an electrolyte based on at least one alkali or alkaline earth halide. It is characterized by the use of a supply device which allows titanium to be introduced into the cathode zone of the electrolysis cell in the form of a halide or a mixture of halides of lower average valence to 3.
- the titanium halides are titanium chlorides obtained by partial reduction of TiCl 4 .
- An alkali or alkaline earth metal, or alloys of these metals, or titanium or a titanium alloy can be used as reducing agent.
- This reduction of TiCl 4 to the desired valence level is carried out by means of the reducing agent chosen in a separate installation.
- the titanium chloride (s) with an average valence of less than 3 are most often obtained in solution in a halide or mixture of molten alkali or alkaline earth halides.
- This molten mixture thus produced is gradually introduced into the cathode compartment of the electrolyser as and when required. Simultaneously a corresponding quantity of electrolyte depleted in titanium halides is extracted from the anode compartment.
- FIG. 2 schematically represents an electrolysis cell (10) for the production of titanium, in which the method according to the invention is implemented.
- This cell is heated from the outside by means not shown.
- the complex relativizing feed cathode device described above is here replaced by a simple feed tube (11) which makes it possible to introduce the mixture of molten halides containing titanium, in the form of valence ions average less than 3, in the cathode compartment.
- This tube is connected to an installation, not shown, in which the partial reduction of TiCl 4 is carried out.
- the cell also comprises a deposition cathode (12) on which the titanium is deposited.
- a withdrawal tube (15) which makes it possible to extract from the cell amounts of electrolyte equivalent to those which are introduced by the tube ( 11).
- a tube (16) allows the release of chlorine formed at the anode.
- the electrolyte thus withdrawn contains very little titanium in solution.
- a first method of reducing titanium tetrachloride is to carry out this using metallic titanium. Such an operation is particularly justified in the case where there is waste of titanium or titanium-based alloys, in the divided state, such as turnings, falling sheets, etc.
- electrolytic titanium can also be used, to which its crystalline structure, generally quite loose, confers great reactivity.
- a second method consists in carrying out this reduction with sodium. It is known, in fact, that TiCl 4 can be reduced by Na according to the following reactions: either in total
- reducers can be envisaged for the preparation of titanium subchlorides.
- use may be made of other alkali or alkaline earth metals.
- alloys of alkali or alkaline earth metals such as NaK or LiK or other alloys.
