Titanium oxychloride is a derivative of titanium tetrachloride that is used in chemical, cosmetics, and ceramic industries. It works as the source of titanium that is used to synthesize its oxides. It is utilized in the production of titanium-based catalysts, such as titanium chloride, etc. It is employed in the formulation of certain cosmetic and skin care products, including sunscreen, face masks, moisturizers, etc. It is used as a component in the production of pearlescent pigments that are used for coating ceramic materials. Also, it is used in the production of barium titanate, which is utilized in the production of multilayer ceramic capacitors and other electronic components.
The demand for titanium oxychloride is driven by its application as a titanium precursor in the chemical, pigment, and cosmetics industries. Its usage as a titanium-based compound for synthesizing titanium oxides, including titanium dioxide, drives its demand in the chemical industry. Its usage as a source of titanium in the production of skincare products such as sunscreens and moisturizers fuels its demand in the cosmetics and chemical sectors. Its involvement in preparing pearlescent pigments increases its overall demand for coating operations in the ceramic industry. Advancement in technology of production processes improves efficiency and reduces costs that affect industrial Titanium Oxychloride procurement in the global market.
Raw Material for Titanium Oxychloride Production
According to the Titanium Oxychloride production plant project report, the key raw materials used in the production of Titanium Oxychloride include Titanium Mineral Ores-Chlorine Gas.
Production Process of Titanium Oxychloride
The extensive Titanium Oxychloride production cost report consists of the following major industrial production process:
- From Titanium Mineral Ores and Chlorine Gas: The production process of Titanium Oxychloride consists of a chlorination reaction. First, titanium-containing mineral ores, such as brookite or ilmenite, are heated in the presence of chlorine gas, forming titanium tetrachloride. This titanium tetrachloride is then reacted with water forming titanium oxychloride as the final product.
Titanium oxychloride is a yellow-color acidic compound with a molecular formula of TiOCl2 and a molecular weight of 134.77 g/mol. Its density is 1.58 g/cm3 under a standard temperature of 25 °C. Its melting point is around -24.1°C, and its boiling point is measured above 136.4 °C. It has a very strong, pungent odor with a vapor density of 1.15. It is a soluble liquid that dissolves in different chemical solvents, including acetone and chloroform. It reacts when dissolved in water releasing hydrogen chloride gas in the air. It decomposes when it reacts with metals, certain oxidizing agents, along with sulfides.
