| Abstract Scope |
Titanium extraction process from industrial raw material to metallic titanium through carbothermic reduction and molten salt electrolysis was proposed. The industrial raw material includes rutile, concentrate slage and ilmenite. By the carbotheric reduction, the content of iron and titanium in the raw material can be reduced to metallic Fe, and titanium oxycarbide (TiCxO1-x). Iron and titanium oxycarbide can separated through magnetic separation, and acid leaching. Through the electrolysis using titanium oxycarbide as anode, metallic titanium with high purity was obtained. |
