High speed production process of titanium by utilizing subhalide feed

The current process of mass production of titanium is based on the Kroll process. This process involves the use of titanium tetrachloride (TiCl_4) as a feed material, and a huge amount of heat is generated during the reduction process. For this reason, it is impossible to increase the reduction speed even when the most advanced modern large-scale reduction facilities are used. Furthermore, it is difficult to establish a continuous reduction process, and it is also difficult to avoid contamination of iron into the product from a reaction container. In order to solve the current problems in the titanium production process that is based on metallothermic reduction, a new process of high-speed titanium reduction using titanium subhalide as a feed material was studied.
