Titanium(IV) Isopropoxide is also known as titanium tetraisopropoxide, and it is an important compound in chemical synthesis and materials science. It is used as a catalyst in reactions like Sharpless epoxidation for chiral epoxide synthesis and the Kulinkovich reaction for cyclopropane preparation. It is used as a precursor in material science for the fabrication of thin films of titanium and barium-strontium-titanate that are used in electronics and optics.
It is widely used in sol-gel-based synthesis of titanium dioxide films and nanoparticles that have applications in photocatalysis. Titanium(IV) Isopropoxide is used in the synthesis of porous titanosilicates that are used in environmental cleanup. It is also used in heat and corrosion-resistant coatings, adhesion agents, and in synthesizing nano-sized titanium dioxide.
There are several key drivers that affect the Titanium(IV) Isopropoxide market. Its increasing demand in chemical synthesis and materials science, such as its use in Sharpless and the Kulinkovich reaction. Its use as a precursor for fabricating thin films, nanoparticles, and coatings in electronics, optics, and environmental applications further contributes to its demand.
The growing need for titanium dioxide films and nanoparticles that have applications in photocatalysis is also driving its market growth. Its use in the synthesis of porous, heat and corrosion-resistant coatings, adhesion agents, and nano-sized titanium dioxide synthesis also increases its demand. Hence, its diverse use as a catalyst and precursor in synthesis and material science, along with its production prices, market prices, and logistics, directly influence industrial Titanium(IV) Isopropoxide procurement across the globe.
Raw Material for Titanium(IV) Isopropoxide Production
According to the Titanium(IV) Isopropoxide production plant project report, the major raw materials for Titanium(IV) Isopropoxide production include titanium tetrachloride and Isopropanol.
Production Process of Titanium(IV) Isopropoxide
The extensive Titanium(IV) Isopropoxide production cost report consists of the following industrial production process:
- Production Titanium Tetrachloride and Isopropanol: The industrial production process of Titanium(IV) Isopropoxide contains several steps. First, titanium tetrachloride is reacted with Isopropanol. Titanium Tetrachloride works as the titanium source and Isopropanol provides the alcohol component. A controlled environment is maintained during the reaction by using an inert atmosphere to prevent moisture. After the reaction, the product is separated from the mixture of unreacted materials and byproducts using distillation. The purified Titanium(IV) Isopropoxide is stored in appropriate containers to maintain its stability and prevent degradation.
Titanium(IV) isopropoxide is a colorless to pale yellow liquid having a characteristic smell of isopropyl alcohol. Its chemical formula is CHOTi, and the molecular weight is 284.22 g/mol. It has a melting point ranging from 14 to 17 °C and a boiling point between 232 and 240 °C. Its density is approximately 0.96 to 0.9711 g/mL. It is insoluble in water, and it is soluble in organic solvents like alcohols and ethers. These chemical and physical properties contribute to its utility in various industrial applications.
