Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
The present disclosure relates to a method for preparing titanium by using electrowinning and, more specifically, to a method for preparing titanium by using electrowinning, comprising the steps of: preparing a mixture by mixing a solid electrolyte, which contains an oxide of a Group 1 element and boron oxide, with titanium dioxide; and forming a molten oxide from the mixture by putting the mixture in an electrowinning apparatus comprising an anode and an insoluble cathode and heating the same, and then forming titanium on the cathode by applying voltage to the anode and the cathode.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A method for preparing titanium by using electrowinning, comprising the steps of: preparing a mixture by mixing a solid electrolyte, which contains an oxide of a Group 1 element and boron oxide, with titanium dioxide; and forming a molten oxide from the mixture by putting the mixture in an electrowinning apparatus comprising an anode and an insoluble cathode and heating the same, and then forming titanium on the cathode by applying voltage to the anode and the cathode, wherein the voltage difference between the anode and the cathode is maintained at 2 V and a current increases slightly during the forming the titanium on the cathode. 2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the oxide of a Group 1 element is one selected from a group consisting of Na 2 O 2 , Na 2 O, K 2 O and LiO 2 . 3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the boron oxide is B 2 O 3 . 4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the mixture comprises 20 to 45 weight % of the oxide of a Group 1 element, 50 to 75 weight % of the boron oxide, and 5 to 30 weight % of the titanium dioxide. 5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the insoluble cathode is one selected from a group consisting of carbon, platinum, tantalum, and tungsten. 6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the heating is performed at a temperature of 700 to 1100° C. 7. The method of claim 1 , further comprising the step of recovering the titanium formed on the cathode. 8. The method of claim 7 , wherein the recovering is performed by immersing the cathode in a solvent at 40 to 90° C. and then filtering the same.
