High speed production process of titanium by utilizing subhalide feed

目前大规模生产钛的工艺是基于克罗尔工艺。该工艺使用四氯化钛（TiCl_4）作为原料，在还原过程中产生大量的热量。因此，即使使用最先进的现代大型还原设备，也不可能提高还原速度。此外，很难建立一个连续的还原过程，也很难避免铁从反应容器污染到产品中。为了解决目前基于金属热还原的钛生产工艺中存在的问题，研究了一种以亚卤化钛为原料的高速钛还原新工艺。

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.
