Extractive Metallurgy of Titanium: Conventional and Recent Advances in Extraction and Production of Titanium Metal

Extractive Metallurgy of Titanium: Conventional and Recent Advances in Extraction and Production of Titanium Metal contains information on current and developing processes for the production of Titanium. The methods for producing Ti metal are grouped into two categories: the reduction of TiCl4 and the reduction of TiO2. The processes are classified as either electrochemical or thermochemical. Descriptions of each method or process include both the fundamental principles of the method and the engineering challenges in their practice. In addition, a review of the chemical and physical characteristics of the product produced by each method is included. The purity of the titanium metal produced will be discussed with respect to the requirements based on ASTM and other industry standards. Lastly, the energy consumption, cost, and potential environmental impacts of the processes are also included. This book will be a must read for researchers developing new metal production methods, as well as those involved in manufacturing titanium metal. Provides information on new and developing low cost, high integrity methods for titanium metal productionDiscusses new markets for titanium due to the decreased cost of newly developed processesCovers specific information on the new methods including the chemical and physical characteristics produced INDICE: 1.
