Titanium Chloride: A Versatile Intermediate for High-Performance Materials


Titanium chloride refers to a group of titanium-based chemical compounds that contain chlorine atoms. The most industrially significant among them is titanium tetrachloride (TiCl₄), a volatile, colorless liquid that fumes in moist air and plays a crucial role in the production of titanium metal and titanium dioxide pigments.

Titanium Tetrachloride (TiCl₄): The Workhorse

  • Molecular Formula: TiCl₄

  • Appearance: Colorless to pale yellow liquid

  • Boiling Point: 136.4°C

  • Reactivity: Highly reactive with water, producing hydrochloric acid and titanium dioxide

Manufacturing Process

TiCl₄ is typically produced by chlorinating titanium-containing ores (like rutile or ilmenite) at high temperatures in the presence of carbon. The process yields TiCl₄, which is then purified by distillation.
