Abstract

Effect of iron on the carbothermic reduction of anatase and rutile forms of titanium dioxide was studied. Differential thermogravimetric analysis indicated a significantly different reduction route in the presence of iron with a number of clear minima in the rate of mass loss observed. X-ray diffraction of the products at these minima indicated that rutile initially formed FeTiO 3 which reduced to γ-Ti3O5, whilst anatase reduced through the mixed Ti(III/IV) phases of general formula Ti nO2n-1 to d-Ti3O5. The final stage was the reduction of Ti3O5 to the sub-stoichiometric carbide, TiC0.5. Iron was found to stabilise the Ti3O 5 phases which were absent from an iron-free system, this is presumed to be due to partial substitution of trivalent iron for trivalent titanium.
