Description Of The Element Titanium

The main ores of titanium are rutile TiO2 and ilmenite FeTiO3, and it was from the analysis of these two ores that it was discovered. As early as 1791 in England, the southwest tip of England, Cornwall (Cornwall) County Menacan (Menacan) parish priest Grey Gower, also a scientist, analyzed the production in his parish of a kind of black ore, that is, today become ilmenite ore found a new metal substance and named menacenite. three years later, in 1795, Klaus Prott analyzed the Hungarian Buynik (Buynik) (ilmenite). Three years later, in 1795, Klaprot analyzed rutile from the Boinik region of Hungary and, recognizing that it was an oxide of a new metal with resistance to acid and alkali solutions, named the metal titanium, with the symbol Ti, borrowing from the Titans, the first sons of the earth in Greek mythology. two years later Klaprot confirmed that the menacenite discovered by Gregor was titanium. Two years later, Klaproth confirmed that menacenite, discovered by Gregor, was titanium.

Titanium is highly resistant to acids and alkalis and has become an important material in chemical production.

Titanium is generally regarded as a rare metal, but in fact its content in the earth's crust is quite large, larger than the general common metals zinc, copper, tin, etc., and even larger than chlorine and phosphorus.

Elemental Description.

Lustrous grayish-black metal, ninth most abundant in the earth's crust (5700 parts per million). It can be highly polished and is relatively resistant to rust. Elemental Source.

Usually found in ilmenite (FeTiO3) or rutile (TiO2), but also in titanium-iron composite magnetite, titanite (CaTiSiO5), and iron ore. Titanium tetrachloride can be produced by coheating titanium dioxide, carbon and chlorine, and then pure titanium can be obtained by coheating titanium tetrachloride with magnesium vapor in an argon atmosphere.
