Method for production of spongy TITANIUM by maGnesium-thermic reduction of titanium tetrachloride

摘要

A method for the production of spongy titanium by magnesium-thermic reduction of titanium tetrachloride includes initial charging of magnesium in the sealed generating chamber, its vacuum pumping and argon filling, magnesium melting, following supplying liquid titanium tetrachloride to the surface of molten magnesium, periodic discharge of the formed magnesium dichloride, and a vacuum separation of the reaction mass. Initial loading of magnesium is carried out partially, then during the reduction process magnesium is charged periodically to the center of the reactor under a layer of melt and the reaction mass.
