| 20090101517 | Method for Producing Ti or Ti Alloy, and Pulling Electrolysis Method Applicable Thereto - In producing Ti or a Ti alloy through reduction by Ca, an electrolytic-bath salt taken out from a reduction process is electrolyzed to recover Ca and the electrolytic-bath salt as a solid substance, and the recovered Ca and electrolytic-bath salt are delivered to the reduction process. Therefore, heat generation is suppressed in the reduction process by utilizing latent heat of fusion possessed by the solid substance, thereby largely improving production efficiency and thermal efficiency. Additionally, a reaction temperature is easily controlled, and a raw-material loading rate can be enhanced to efficiently produce Ti or the Ti alloy. At this point, using a pulling electrolysis method of the invention, the solid-state Ca and electrolytic-bath salt can be obtained at a low voltage and high current efficiency, i.e., with the relatively small power consumption. When the solid-state Ca and electrolytic-bath salt is used as a Ca source in producing Ti or the Ti alloy through reduction by Ca, the Ti or Ti alloy can efficiently be produced. | 04-23-2009 |
| 20090114546 | Method for Removing/Concentrating Metal-Fog-Forming Metal Present in Molten Salt, Apparatus Thereof, and Process and Apparatus for Producing Ti or Ti Alloy by use of them - The present invention provides a method by which a metal-fog-forming metal dissolved in one portion of “a molten salt mixture consisted of one or more of metal-fog-forming metal containing molten salts” (generally, a molten salt) can be removed and transferred to another portion of the molten salt to increase the concentration thereof. The method can hence be utilized as one of means for treating molten salts in various industrial fields in which metal-fog-forming metal-containing molten salts such as Ca or Na are handled. In particular, when the method is utilized in producing Ti by Ca reduction, the Ca dissolved in the molten salt to be fed to an electrolytic cell can be rapidly removed (recovered) and the Ca formation efficiency during the electrolysis of the molten salt can be enhanced.

| 20090152122 | Method for electrolyzing molten salt, electrolytic cell, and process for producing ti using said method - The present invention provides a method for electrolyzing molten salt that can enhance the concentration of metal-fog forming metal in the molten salt by carrying out the electrolysis under conditions that the molten salt containing the chloride of metal-fog forming metal is supplied from one end of an electrolytic cell to a space between an anode and a cathode in a continuous or intermittent manner to provide a flow rate in one direction to the molten salt in the vicinity of the surface of the cathode and thus to allow the molten salt to flow in one direction in the vicinity of the surface of the cathode. According to the present invention, while high current efficiency is maintained, only the molten salt enriched with metal-fog forming metal such as Ca can be effectively taken out. Further, this method can easily be carried out by using the electrolytic cell according to the present invention. Furthermore, the application of the method for electrolyzing molten salt according to the present invention to the production of Ti by Ca reduction can realize the production of metallic Ti with high efficiency. Thus, the method for electrolyzing molten salt, the electrolytic cell, and the process for producing Ti, each according to the present invention, can be effectively utilized in the production of Ti by Ca reduction. | 06-18-2009 |
