Abstract

The invention provides a method and device for producing titanium by a fused salt electrolysis process, relating to a device adopting titanium tetrachloride as a raw material to directly produce high purity titanium by the fused salt electrolysis process. The method is characterized by adopting titanium tetrachloride as the raw material, introducing titanium tetrachloride into mixed fused salt of sodium chloride and potassium chloride, adopting magnesium as an anode and titanium as a cathode to electrolyze titanium tetrachloride to generate magnesium chloride and titanium, directly depositing the generated titanium on the titanium cathode and separating the generated titanium to obtain a titanium product. The method and device for producing titanium by a fused salt electrolysis process have the beneficial effects that the method and the device can be used for directly producing the high purity titanium from titanium tetrachloride without using titanium sponge as a raw material, can save the cost and can be used for producing titanium with higher purity; the produced high purity titanium is shaped like a cylinder or a square column; and a titanium ingot in the shape can be directly used as a raw material of an electron beam smelting furnace or a consumable electrode vacuum furnace in the next process, thus saving the processes of briquetting and welding and further saving the cost.

Description

technical field [0001] A method and device for producing titanium by molten salt electrolysis, relating to a method and device for directly producing high-purity titanium by molten salt electrolysis using titanium tetrachloride as a raw material. Background technique [0002] The industry generally refers to titanium with a purity of more than 99.995%, that is, the sum of metal impurities below 50ppm, as high-purity titanium. It is mainly used in high-tech fields such as large-scale integrated circuits, aerospace, and medical alloys. At present, the preparation methods of high-purity titanium can be divided into two categories: physical method and chemical refining method. Among them, the physical methods mainly include regional smelting method, segregation method, high vacuum smelting method, vacuum distillation method, electromigration method, electromagnetic field purification method, light excitation refining method, electron beam smelting method, etc. Chemical ...
