Environmental problems of finely dispersed titanium dioxide production

Finely dispersed titanium dioxide is widely used in modern technologies. Proved reserves of titanium ores in Russia are expected to meet industrial needs. However, the available facilities for the manufacture of titanium dioxide from ores are clearly insufficient, which naturally requires new plants to be put into operation. The technologies used for the production of titanium dioxide were developed as early as 1940s, when ecological aspects of the production process were almost not taken into account. The present survey analyzes environmental problems related to the titanium dioxide production according to the sulfate and chloride technologies in comparison with the fluoride process proposed for industrial implementation. The fluoride process has been examined as applied to ilmenite from the Turan deposit in Tomsk oblast, and some actions directed toward improvement of ecological parameters of this process have been proposed.     

Separation of carrier-free 48Sc tracer and its determination by isotopic dilution

An easy method for speedy and quantitative separation of carrier-free scandium tracer formed by the (48)Ti(22)(n,p)(48)Sc(21) nuclear reaction has been developed. Separation of (48)Sc (1.83 days) from the target titanium metal was carried out by co-precipitating the tracer with calcium fluoride precipitated at pH approximately 4 from the solution of irradiated titanium in hydrofluoric acid. The freshly formed fluoride precipitate was dissolved in conc. hydrochloric acid, and the tracer extracted with tributyl phosphate and then stripped into aqueous medium. The carrier-free tracer was estimated by isotopic dilution. with calcium fluoride as non-isotopic diluent.

Organic‐Base‐Driven Intercalation and Delamination for the Production of Functionalized Titanium Carbide Nanosheets with Superior Photothermal Therapeutic Performance

The delamination of titanium carbide sheets, an intriguing class of two‐dimensional materials, has been critically dependent on the extraction of interlayer Al in acidic media, such as concentrated hydrofluoric acid (HF) or a mixture of hydrochloric acid (HCl) and a fluoride salt. Herein, we report an organic‐base‐driven intercalation and delamination of titanium carbide that takes advantage of the amphoteric nature of interlayer Al. The resulting aluminum‐oxoanion‐functionalized titanium carbide sheets manifested unusually strong optical absorption in the near‐infrared (NIR) region with a mass extinction coefficient as high as 29.1 L g^?1 cm^?1 at 808 nm. Thus, the performance of this material is comparable or even superior to that of state‐of‐the‐art photoabsorption materials, including gold‐based nanostructures, carbon‐based materials, and transition‐metal dichalcogenides. Preliminary studies show that the titanium carbide sheets serve as efficient photothermal agents against tumor cells.     

Monochromatized x‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy of the AM60 magnesium alloy surface after treatments in fluoride‐based Ti and Zr solutions

The behaviour of the 6% aluminium–magnesium alloy (AM60) surface in zirconium or titanium fluoride aqueous acid solutions was studied. X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy was used to investigate modifications in the surface chemistry with respect to the composition of the surface treatment solution. The surface film is composed of magnesium hydroxide and hydroxyfluoride, zirconium oxide, oxyhydroxide or oxyfluoride, titanium oxide and structural and adsorbed water. Optimal parameters leading to the formation of a zirconium‐ or titanium‐rich film were determined. A mechanism is proposed for the formation of zirconium‐ or titanium‐based films.

Selective condensation during relaxation of multicomponent gas-plasma mixtures

The physical and chemical processes taking place in multicomponent gas-plasma mixtures are considered. A theoretical model of selective condensation during relaxation of the mixture is developed.

FT-IR Spectroscopy of Acid-Modified Titanium Alkoxides: Investigations on the Nature of Carboxylate Coordination and Degree of Complexation

Modification of titanium butoxide by acetic acid has been studied by means of FT-IR spectroscopy. A deconvolution procedure was carried out to give further insight concerning the coordination modes of acetate ligands in Ti_aO_b(OBu)_c(OAc)_d complexes. From these results, molecular structures of the acetic acid modified precursor in a stoichiometric Ti(OBu)₄/AcOH (1:1) were proposed. On the basis of ATR spectroscopic data, the degree of complexation in Ti_aO_b(OBu)_c(OAc)_d oligomers as a function of the molar ratio Ti/AcOH was also estimated. Organic/inorganic hybrids were prepared from titanium butoxide and acrylic terpolymers bearing active acid groups via the sol-gel process. The interactions between the acid groups of the polymer and titanium butoxide were investigated by FT-IR spectroscopy and the carboxylate coordination modes were compared with the coordination modes in the acetato complexes.     

Influence of process parameters on the epoxidation of 2-buten-1-ol over titanium silicalite TS-1 catalyst

The influence of process parameters on the epoxidation of 2-buten-1-ol with 30 % hydrogen peroxide using the titanium silicalite TS-1 is presented. The studies were carried out under autogenic pressure (in autoclave). Methanol was used as a solvent in this process. The influence of temperature, 2-buten-1-ol to hydrogen peroxide mole ratio, amount of solvent used, TS-1 catalyst content, and reaction time on the reaction was studied. The major product of this reaction, 2,3-epoxybutan-1-ol (EB), has numerous applications in chemical industry.     

Thermal transformations of titanium slag of high titania content

Titanium raw materials play important role as a source of titanium and titanium dioxide. The investigation of the rate of oxidation and phase transformation of titanium slag in static air atmosphere by use of thermogravimetry (TG) and X-ray diffractometry (XRD) were presented. The investigation were carried out for three different particle size fractions to determine influence of this parameter on rate of reaction. To estimate kinetic parameters was used the kinetic model of contracting volume. The value of kinetic parameters show that influence of heating rate and particle size on rate of reaction is not so large. The thermogravimetric investigations of the oxidation of titanium slag in air atmosphere shown that reaction proceeds in two stages. The XRD investigation shown that titanium slag has the pseudobrookite structure and its diffraction pattern is very close to the diffractogram of magnesium titanate MgTi₂O₅ and iron magnesium titanium oxide (Fe-Mg-Ti-O). At elevated temperature the structure of slag transforms to the ferric pseudobrookite structure and excess titanium dioxide forms the rutile phase. This revised version was published online in July 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.

Gravimetric analysis of tantalocolumbites by precipitation from homogeneous solution

An analysis of complex tantalocolumbites has been carried out by precipitation from homogeneous solutions. A homogeneous precipitation of tungsten, titanium, tantalum and niobium by thermal decomposition of the soluble peroxytungstates, described in previous papers, is used. Corrections for incomplete precipitation and coprecipitation phenomena are applied on the basis of the experimentally found values. Silicon and tin are separated by volatilisation as fluoride and iodide, respectively. Iron is extracted by means of isopropyl ether and the rare earth metals are precipitated homogeneously from an oxalate solution. Manganese is precipitated as the ammonium phosphate. The results are in good agreement with an independent method, the standard deviations being within 1 % for the major constituents.

Investigation of Ti/CuO interface by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and atomic force microscopy

The Ti/CuO interface has been studied by the techniques of X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and atomic force microscopy. Thin films of titanium were deposited on a CuO substrate at room temperature by the e-beam technique. The photoelectron spectra of titanium and copper were found to exhibit significant chemical interaction at the interface. The titanium overlayer was observed to get oxidized to TiO₂, while the CuO was observed to get reduced to elemental copper. This chemical interaction was observed to occur until a thickness of 7 nm of the titanium overlayer. For thicknesses greater than this value, the presence of unreacted titanium in the sample was detected. Barrier characteristics at the Ti/CuO interface were also carried out for substrate temperatures of 300°C, 400°C, 500°C, and 600°C as a function of the titanium overlayer thickness. A linear trend in the barrier thickness of the overlayer was observed between 400°C and 600°C substrate temperatures. The atomic force microscopy micrographs of the unannealed samples depicted layer-by-layer growth of elemental titanium on copper. At the Ti/CuO interface in such samples, the micrographs exhibited island formation of TiO₂ corresponding to the Volmer-Weber growth model. This formation has been interpreted as the relaxation in the strain energy. The percentage coverage of the underlying substrate by the TiO₂ islands showed a linear trend for the thicknesses of the titanium overlayer investigated. The average size of these islands also showed a linear trend as a function of the thickness of the overlayer.

Application of ultrafiltration-complexation process for metal removal from pulp and paper industry wastewater

In recent years, the pulp and paper industries have been trying different technologies to reduce fresh water consumption in paper mills. This has led to a fast development of new wastewater treatment technologies for industrial reuse. Lately, water-soluble polymeric ligands have shown to be powerful substances to remove trace metals from industrial wastewater through ultrafiltration (UF). In the present study, polyethyleneimine (PEI) and polyvinylalcohol (PVA) were used as water-soluble polymeric macroligands. The UF experiments were carried out in stirred dead-end cells. The membrane used was formed from polyvinilidene fluoride (PVDF). The performance of water-soluble polymeric ligands was evaluated by determining metal removal and chemical oxygen demand (COD). In general, the complexation–ultrafiltration process was efficient for metal removal from wastewater, leading to a better effluent quality when compared to ultrafiltration without any ligands addition.
