The invention discloses a process used for refining crude 
titanium tetrachloride and capable of prolonging the 
production cycle. The process comprises the following steps: crude 
titanium tetrachloride and a 
vanadium-removing 
reagent as an 
organic matter are fed into a mixed-material feed 
system, then the obtained 
mixed materials is fed into a reactor and heated in the reactor by a heat source provided by a heating coil so as to complete the 
vanadium-removing process in the reactor; pure 
titanium tetrachloride steam is fed into a condenser, and after the pure 
titanium tetrachloride steam exchanges heat with circulating cooling water, the obtained steam enters a 
reflux accumulator, then part of the obtained steam as refluxed liquid is returned to a packed 
tower and then transported back to a 
reaction system, and the other part of the obtained steam is fed into an intermediate tank to detect, after passing the detection, this part of the obtained steam is fed into a finished-product 
storage tank, wherein in the process of refluxing, the 
reflux ratio is controlled at one second to one third; mud samples are taken out from the reactor every 6 to 8 hours so as to keep the 
solid-
liquid ratio in the range of 30 to 60 percent; and the mud discharged from the reactor is transported to a 
molten salt chlorination 
system every 6 to 8 hours so as to recycle the 
titanium tetrachloride in themud. The process provided by the invention has the advantages that a production 
system can continuously and stably operate more than 24 months, thereby improving the production efficiency; and the 
titanium tetrachloride in the mud discharged from the reactor can be recycled, thereby reducing the production cost and reducing the environmental 
pollution.
