<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method and an apparatus for producing titanium metal, which promote uniformly mixing titanium tetrachloride gas with magnesium gas by using titanium tetrachloride and magnesium as starting materials, and also to produce titanium metal more efficiently by efficiently depositing titanium metal through the reaction of mixed gas. <P>SOLUTION: The titanium metal production apparatus includes: (a) a first flow channel that supplies magnesium in a state of gas; (b) a second flow channel that supplies titanium tetrachloride in a state of gas; (c) a gas mixing section in which the magnesium and titanium tetrachloride in a state of gas are mixed and the temperature in the gas mixing section is controlled to be 1,600°C or more; (d) a titanium metal deposition section in which particles for deposition are arranged so as to be movable, the temperature is in the range of 715 to 1,500°C, and the absolute pressure is 50 to 500 kPa; and (e) a mixed gas discharge section which is in communication with the titanium metal deposition section. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT |
