The main preparation method of metallic titanium is the smelting method of titanium ore. There are two main methods: sulfuric acid method and chlorination method. Metal titanium is insoluble in water, but soluble in hydrofluoric acid, nitric acid and concentrated sulfuric acid. Mainly used in alloy manufacturing, chemical equipment, etc.
Ilmenite is an oxide mineral of iron and titanium, also known as titanium-magnetite, chemical composition: FeTiO3, is the main ore for refining titanium.
Ilmenite is mainly distributed in Russia, Australia, South Africa, Canada, Brazil, China and India. China is very rich in titanium resources, is the world's largest titanium resources, and its reserves are in the forefront of the world. This type of raw metal for sale is mainly concentrated in the western region, especially Sichuan Province, as well as Hainan, Yunnan, Guangdong and Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous region.
The smelting of ilmenite has two kinds of sulfuric acid method and chlorination method, both of which are to turn titanium ore into pure titanium dioxide, and then react pure titanium dioxide with pure chlorine and coke at high temperature to produce titanium tetrachloride and carbon monoxide, and reduce it to spongiform titanium metal with calcium, magnesium or sodium.
Sponge titanium is the raw material of titanium processing materials, and also the main raw material of industrial titanium alloys. Titanium sponge usually appears as a light gray particle or spongy form
