How Much Is Ferrotitanium Per kg Today?

What are the raw materials for industrial production of ferrotitanium?

The raw materials for industrial production of ferrotitanium include ilmenite concentrate (Fe-TiO3), rutile (TiO2), titanium dioxide (TiO2) and scrap titanium metal (Ti, Ti-V-Al, etc.). Except for scrap titanium metal, all other materials must be reduced with a reducing agent to obtain ferrotitanium and titanium alloy.

TiO2 is an oxide that is difficult to reduce. Reducing TiO2 with carbon can only be achieved at high temperatures, and TiC is generated instead of Ti. High-carbon ferrotitanium is obtained. Reducing TiO2 with silicon is not possible, but adding CaO as a flux can promote the silicon reduction reaction.

Titanium and silicon form stable silicides, which are beneficial to the silicon reduction reaction, but the produced ferrotitanium contains a high silicon content. It is possible to reduce TiO2 with aluminum to generate Ti. However, if the aluminum content is lower than the stoichiometric value, a large amount of TiO is generated.

TiO is more stable than TiO2 and cannot be reduced with aluminum. It is a strong alkaline oxide that can form slag with Al2O3 or SiO2. Therefore, CaO should be added to prevent the slag formation reaction of TiO, and it is also beneficial to the reduction of TiO2. Comparing the reaction in Figure 2, it is easier to reduce ilmenite (FeTiO3) with aluminum than to reduce TiO2, and adding CaO has the same effect.

Therefore, reducing titanium concentrate with aluminum is the main method for producing ferrotitanium. The obtained product has low carbon content, but high aluminum and silicon content. Based on the above analysis, the main methods for producing ferrotitanium are aluminothermic method, electrosilicon thermal method and electrocarbon thermal method, as well as remelting of scrap titanium metal.
