Recent Progress in Titanium Extraction and Recycling
Impurities such as FeCl x and AlCl 3, which have higher boiling points than that of TiCl 4 (409 K), are removed by condensation in this process. Impurities such as VOCl 3, SnCl 4, and SiCl 4, which have boiling points similar to that of TiCl 4, remain in the TiCl 4 intermediate. VOCl 3 is reduced by a reducing agent such as hydrogen sulfide (H 2 S) for …
