Application:
Titanium Tetrachloride |
Description: TiCl4 is a colorless fuming liquid with a pungent odor. Corrosive to metals and tissue. Very toxic by inhalation.It activates pyrrolidines for improved conversion, via a modified Bouveault reaction, to the corresponding α,α-dimethylamines |
1.Production of titanium metal
The world's supply of titanium metal, about 250,000 tons per year, is made from TiCl4. The conversion takes place by the reduction of the chloride with magnesium metal, and yields titanium metal and magnesium chloride. This procedure is known as the Kroll process:
2.Mg + TiCl4 → 2 MgCl2 + Ti
Liquid sodium has also been used instead of magnesium as the reducing agent, as in the Hunter process.
3.Production of titanium dioxide
Around 90% of the TiCl4 production is used to make the pigment titanium dioxide (TiO2). The conversion involves hydrolysis of TiCl4, a process that forms hydrogen chloride
TiCl4 + 2 H2O → TiO2 + 4 HCl
In some cases, TiCl4 is oxidised directly with oxygen:
TiCl4 + O2 → TiO2 + 2 Cl2
4.Smoke screens
It has been used to produce smoke screens since it produces a heavy, white smoke that has little tendency to rise.
