<p>In a method for producing titanium metal from tetrachloride which comprises holding magnesium as fused in a space which is provided within an elongated vessel means and is heatable with a furnace means to surround, introducing titanium tetrachloride onto said magnesium to cause a reaction therebetween to form titanium metal product and magnesium chloride byproduct, continuing such reaction until the vessel means is deposited with a substantial volume of titanium metal and recovering the metallic product and chloride byproduct. An improvement which essentially comprises providing an interspace airtightly sealed and pressure regulatable between the vessel means and the furnace means, and keeping said interspace at a pressure, with an inert gas, close to that inside the vessel means while the vessel is heated in the furnace.</p> |
