This product is an organic compound with the formula TiCl4. The systematic name of this chemical is Tetrachlorotitanium. With the CAS registry number 7750-45-0, it is also named as Titanium(IV) chloride. In addition, the molecular weight is 189.68. It is an important intermediate in the production of titanium metal and the pigment titanium dioxide.
Preparation: this chemical is produced by the chloride process, which involves the reduction of titanium oxide ores, typically ilmenite (FeTiO3) with carbon under flowing chlorine at 900 °C. Impurities are removed by distillation.
2 FeTiO3 + 7 Cl2 + 6 C → 2 TiCl4 + 2 FeCl3 + 6 CO
Uses of Tetrachlorotitanium: The world's supply of titanium metal is made from TiCl4. The conversion takes place by the reduction of the chloride with magnesium metal, and yields titanium metal and magnesium chloride.
2 Mg + TiCl4 → 2 MgCl2 + Ti
