Abstract
863,428. Titanium production. DOW CHEMICAL CO. Sept. 21, 1959, No. 32107/59. Class 82(1) Ti is produced by adding liquid TiBr 4 or TiCl 4 to Li suspended in a molten salt bath comprising at least two halides of alkali and/or alkaline earth metals and having a melting point of not over 550‹C. The reaction is performed in an inert atmosphere and the tetrahalide is added at such a rate that a continuous glow occurs in the reaction zone. Preferably the Li is present in excess of the stoichiometric quantity and the halogen of the salt bath is the same as that of the tetrahalide. The molten salt bath 15 is contained within a heated retort 8 and blanketed with argon. Li vapour from a pot 32 is condensed in a pipe 35 by a cooling coil 37 and fed on to the salt bath to form a pool 16. The temperature of the bath is then raised and TiBr 4 or TiCl 4 liquid is direct fed from a reservoir 23. The Ti 17 collects in sponge form in the bottom of the retort. The spent salt bath material may be treated electrolytically to recover Li and the halogen which may be used for the production of further tetrahalide.
