Titanium

... occurs as an oxide in the minerals ilmenite (FeTiO3), rutile (TiO2) and sphene (CaO. TiO2. SiO2) but it mainly contains rutile and ilmenite that are more stable than the pure titanium. The process of extracting titanium from its ore mainly involves 2 different chemical reactions. The magnesium reduction process, or the Kroll process is the most popular production process for ... + 2Mg (1100 •XC) á• 2MgCl2 + Ti Excess magnesium and magnesium dichloride is removed from the product by treatment with water and hydrochloric acid to leave a titanium "sponge". The metal is then melted and...

... next day the boy went to school and decided to ask his teacher because he was sure that he would know the name of the metal he found was titanium. The boy was relieved, he finally knew what the was. The teacher went on to say that its atomic number was 22 and that its weight was ... 48,867. The teacher also said that Titanium has the best strength to weight ratio among the metals and that Titanium is very reactive, and because of this it is often used for alloying and deoxidizing other metals. Then he said ... 40% lighter than steel and 60% heavier than aluminum and this combination of ...

... industrially by direct chlorination of boron oxide and carbon at 500 °C. B2O3 + 3C + 3Cl2 → 2BCl3 + 3CO The carbothermic reaction is analogous to the Kroll process for the conversion of titanium dioxide to titanium tetrachloride. In the laboratory BF3 reacted with AlCl3 gives BCl3 via halogen exchange. BCl3 is a trigonal planar molecule like the other boron trihalides, and has a bond length of 175pm ... ...
