PROCESS FOR PRODUCING POLYOLEFINS

摘要

A method for refining a titanium metal containing ore such as rutile or illmenite or mixtures to produce titanium ingots or titanium alloys and compounds of titanium involves production of titanium tetrachloride as a molten slag, by processing ore in a chlorinatioii procedure and removing various impurities by a distillation or other procedure to form a relatively pure titanium tetrachloride (TiC14). Thereafter, the titanium tetrachloride is introduced into the plasma focal point of a plasma reactor in a molten sodium environment for the initial reduction of gas phase titanium into titanium molten drops which are collected by a set of skulls (1 12). Thereafter, further processing is carried out in higher vacuum (104) and the titanium is heated by electron beam guns (130) in order to maximize titanium purity, and in a final optional stage, alloying compounds are added under yet higher vacuum and high temperature conditions.
