Abstract

The purpose of this work is to calculate, using the HSC program, the change in the thermal effect of the reaction and the free energy of magnesiothermal reduction in a salt melt during titanium production. The results show that the change in the thermal effect of the double-salt reaction is about 4 times less than the traditional Kroll method. Thus, the results allow us to recommend this double salt (TiCl2 - MgCl2) as a reagent for the production of titanium by the magnesiothermal method
