The Equilibrium between Titanium Metal, TiCl[sub 2], and TiCl[sub 3] in NaCl-KCl Melts

Abstract

The equilibrium between solid titanium metal, di‐, and trivalent titanium chlorides dissolved in an melt was measured under carefully controlled experimental conditions. Divalent titanium was found to be the predominant valence state in the melt, for temperatures of 700°–800°C. The "apparent" equilibrium constant (mole fractions replacing activities) for the reaction.
