在这项工作中，自耗阳极组成的碳化钛和一氧化钛的固溶体通过碳热还原二氧化钛制备。在电解时，阳极将Ti 2+进料到溶液中并产生一氧化碳;没有多余的碳残留污染熔体。在阴极上，产生高纯度钛（>99.9%）。我们的研究结果表明，阳极和阴极的电流效率分别为93.5%和89%，表明该方法是可行的，极具成本效益，有可能降低钛的成本接近铝。
In this work, a consumable anode composed of a solid solution of titanium carbide and titanium monoxide was prepared via carbothermic reduction of TiO2. Upon electrolysis, the anode fed Ti2+ into solution and carbon monoxide was generated; no excess carbon remained to contaminate the melt. On the cathode, high-purity titanium (>99.9%) was produced. Our results suggest anode and cathode current efficiencies of 93.5% and 89% respectively, indicating that the method is viable and extremely cost-effective, potentially dropping the cost of titanium to near that of aluminum.
