Abstract
722,184. Extracting titanium or zirconium. LEVY, J. P., PICKARD, D. H., and PICKARD, L. Dec. 4, 1952 [Sept. 4, 1951], No. 20894/51. Class 82 (1). Titanium or zirconium is produced by reacting the vapour of the tetrachloride of the required metal in the presence of a moving inert gas, e.g. argon, helium or neon, with magnesium vapour and passing the reaction products while entrained in the inert gas through a zone cool enough to solidify the magnesium chloride before the particles are allowed to settle. In the apparatus shown for producing titanium, a melting vessel 23 charged with magnesium billets through a tube 25 and an outer vessel 12 in which the magnesium is vaporized are enclosed in a furnace (not shown) and argon from an inlet 17 is passed, through calcium or other gettering material 18 and a delivery tube 20, to the vessel 12. The argon stream from a nozzle 21 on the delivery tube acts with a Venturi 11 to inject magnesium vapour from the vessel 12 into a reaction vessel 10 where it reacts with a stream of titanium tetrachloride vapour entering through an inlet 15. The fine titanium particles and the mist of magnesium chloride so formed are carried by the argon to a cool zone 27, where the magnesium chloride solidifies, and finally to a receiver 30, where the mixed powder is collected. The argon, together with excess titanium tetrachloride, passes out from the receiver at 31 and enters condensers where the tetrachloride is removed and the cleaned argon-is recycled to the inlet 17. Electrostatic or cyclic precipitators may be fitted in the argon line to remove any remaining reaction products. When the receiver 30 is full it may be changed without interrupting the process by closing the valves 35-38 and opening the normally-closed valve 29, the argon then passing through the line 34. An amount of titanium tetrachloride slightly in excess of the stoichiometric proportion may be used to prevent " striking back " on to the magnesium pool.
