Reduction of titanium dioxide to metallic titanium conducted under the autogenic pressure of the reactants.
We report on a reaction to convert titanium dioxide to titanium. The reduction reaction was done under the autogenic pressure of the reactants at 750 degrees C for 5 h. The MgO, a by-product, was removed by acids to obtain pure metallic titanium.
