Description

United rates My invention relates to a process for the production of metallic titanium, and more particularly to an electrolytic process for the production of metallic titanium.
Metallic titanium is now produced by a dry method. There have been made many attempts to obtain metallic titanium by a wet method but none has succeeded. Thus, up to the present, production of metallic titanium by electrolysis of an aqueous solution of its compound has been considered as a very difiicult problem.
I have now devised a process to produce pure metallic titanium by electrolysis of an aqueous solution of titanium compounds economically at low cost. My novel process for the production of metallic titanium from an aqueous solution of titanium compounds comprises a water-soluble titanium compound in which titanium which has a valency of two or three is employed as the starting material. In the case where a titanium compound in which titanium has a valency of three is employed the compound is converted into a titanium compound in which titanium has a valency of two by reduction by means of a reducing metal or agent, or by electrolytic reduction, or by the combination of said two reduction methods, and the titanium compound in which titanium has a valency of two thus converted from a titanium compound in which titanium has a valency of three or a titanium compound in which titanium has a valency of two in itself is made alkaline such that a sufficient reducing condition will exist in the electrolyte solution during the electrolysis operation, and it is then electrolyzed.
As the starting material for my process water-soluble titanium in which titanium has a valency of two or three may be used. When a titanium compound in which the valency of titanium is three is employed, it is preferable to use such a titanium compound which can easily be converted into a titanium compound in which the valency of titanium is two, for example, halides, complex salts, etc.
When a titanium compound in which titanium has a valency of three is employed, the compound is converted into a titanium compound in which titanium has a valency of two by means of a reducing metal or agent or by electrolytic reduction or by the combination of said two reduction methods.
Titanium compounds in which titanium has a valency of three have the advantage that they are more stable and more easily obtainable. However, when a titanium compound in which titanium has a valency of three is employed, the compound must be converted into a titanium compound having a valency of two before electrolysis by employing a reducing metal or agent or by electrolytic reduction or by the combination of said two reduction methods. For example, the reduction can be accomplished by the use of sponge titanium, or formaldehyde, or hydrazine hydrate, or pyrogallic acid, or by combinations of two of these reducing agents. It may be also accomplished by electrolytic reduction either by itself or in combination with the use of one of the aforementioned reducing agents.
An aqueous solution of a water-soluble titanium compound in which titanium has a valency of two, which 3,074,860 Patented Jan. 22, 1963 may be a titanium compound in which titanium has a valency of two in itself, or a titanium compound in which titanium has a valency of two which has been converted from a titanium compound in which titanium has a valency of three, must be adjusted so as to be alkaline. The aqueous alkaline solution is then subjected to electrolysis. When the electrolysis is carried out with the solution alkaline such that a sufficient reducing condition exists in the electrolyte solution metallic titanium having a high purity is deposited on the cathode.
The reason why electrolytic production of metallic titanium which had been very difficult has been made possible by my process may be explained by the fact that, according to my process, a titanium compound in Which titanium has a valency of two is employed and a. suflicient reducing condition exists in the electrolyte solution during the electrolysis so that the oxidation of the titanium compound in which titanium has a valency of two in the electrolyte to a titanium compound inwhich titanium has a valency of three is prevented and, also, the oxidation of metallic titanium deposited on the cathode is prevented. The fact that the hydrogen ion concentration of the electrolyte solution is in the alkaline range produces the favorable result of bringing the potential at which hydrogen is evolved and the potential at which metallic titanium is deposited close to each other. By the combined ettects of above, pure metallic titanium is deposited on the cathode while hydrogen is being evolved on it. Thus, according to the process of my invention, metallic titanium is deposited on the cathode under similar conditions which prevail in the electrolytic production of manganese.
The process of my invention will be more clearly understood from the examples set forth below in which Examples I to VI illustrate the preparation of electrolyte solution of titanium compound in which titanium has a valency of two and Example VIE illustrates the elec-. trolysis operation. It will be understood that these examples are only for the purpose of illustration and my invention is in no way limited to the examples.
Example I An aqueous solution suitable for the electrolytic production of metallic titanium was prepared by dissolving 35 grams of titanium dichloride in 300 cc. of commercial aqueous formaldehyde solution, adding to the solution 10 grams of pyrogallic acid and then aqueous ammonia or caustic alkali to make the solution alkaline.
Example 11 To 300 cc. of an alcoholic solution of titanium trichloride were added 300 cc. of commercial aqueous formaldehyde solution and then 15 grams of pulverized sponge titanium. The mixture was heated at about 50 C. When the reduction was completed, the mixture was cooled and 10 grams of pyrogalli-c acid were added. Then, aqueous ammonia was added to make the solution alkaline. The resultant solution was used as the electrolyte solution for the production of metallic titanium according to my process.
Example 111 To 300 cc. of an aqueous solution of titanium borofluoride (titanium content 20.28 grams/liter) 50 cc. of thioglycollic acid were added and the resultant solution was electrolytically reduced using a carbon anode. When the reduction had proceeded to a point at which the solution turned to brown in color, the electrolysis was stopped. 10 grams of pyrogallic acid were added and then the solution was made alkaline by the addition of aqueous ammonia. The resultant solution was used as the electrolyte solution for the production of metallic titanium according to my process.
Example IV To 300 cc. of a solution of titanium trihydroxide in commercial aqueous formaldehyde solution (titanium content 18.73 grams/liter) grams of pyrogallic acid were added, and the resultant solution was subjected to the electrolytic reduction in the same manner as described in Example III. The resultant solution was made alkaline by the addition of aqueous ammonia. The solution was used as the electrolyte solution for the production of metallic titanium according to my process.
Example V To 300 cc. of a solution of titanium triethylate in ethyl alcohol (titanium content 17.94 grams/liter) 50 cc. of hydrazine hydrate (80%) were added and the solution was made alkaline with aqueous ammonia. The resultant solution was used as the electrolyte solution for the production of metallic titanium according to my process.
Example VI To 300 cc. of a solution of titanium trihydroxide in commercial aqueous formaldehyde solution (titanium content 18.73 grams/liter) 50 cc. of hydrazine hydrate (80%) were added and the solution was made alkaline with aqueous ammonia. The resultant solution was used as the electrolyte solution for the production of metallic titanium according to my process.
Example VII To 300 cc. of an alcoholic solution of titanium trifluoride (titanium content 19.67 grams/liter) 50 cc. of hydrazine hydrate (80%) were added and the solution was made alkaline with aqueous ammonia.
Hydrogen ion concentration of the resultant solution was adjusted to a pH of 8 to 12, such that a sutficient reducing condition existed in the electrolyte solution for the electrolytic deposition of metallic titanium, and the solution was electrolyzed. A titanium deposit having a beautiful metallic luster was obtained on the cathode.
Conditions of electrolysis employed were as follows:
Cell material Glass.
Volume of electrolyte solution" 2.5 liters.
Electrode material Anode: carbon; cathode: pure copper plate.
Current density 7 amp. per square decimeter.
Cell voltage 1.3 volts.
Distance between the electrodes- 85 mm.
Temperature of the electrolyte solution 18 C.
Conditions in the electroylte solution Always reducing. Rate-of titanium deposition 860 mg. per hour.
As will be seen from above, according to the process of my invention it is possible to obtain pure metallic titanium easily and economically. My process is particularly suitable for titanium plating since titanium of highest purity is deposited in a dense structure.
