  Titanium - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Titanium is well known for its excellent resistance to corrosion; it is almost as resistant as platinum, being able to withstand attack by acids, moist chlorine gas, and by common salt solutions.
Titanium metal was not used outside the laboratory until 1946 when William Justin Kroll proved that titanium could be commercially produced by reducing titanium tetrachloride with magnesium in the Kroll process which is the method still used today.
Titanium metal is not found unbound to other elements in nature but the element is the ninth most abundant element in the Earth's crust (0.63% by mass) and is present in most igneous rocks and in sediments derived from them (as well as in living things and natural bodies of water).

Accidental splashing of workers with titanium tetrachloride and exposure to aerosols of titanic acid and titanic oxychloride led to skin burns with scarring, and congestion of the mucosa in the upper respiratory tract, followed later by cicatrization and laryngeal stenosis.
Titanium tetrachloride is a liquid, which is stable in dry air, but decomposes in cold water to form titanium oxide and hydrochloric acid.
Since titanium coheres with iron in most samples, and the ratios found were constant and close to the geochemical average of the ratios of these elements in soils, it was suggested that titanium had originated mainly from a soil source (yielding particles of 1 µm).

 Titanium Tetra Chloride TiCl4   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
A titanium tetrachloride leak, for example, can be identified by the large amount of white smoke or fumes given off around the area of the leak.The hydrogen chloride or hydrochloric acid formed in the reaction is corrosive and strongly irritating to the mucous membranes, eyes and respiratory tract.
Because titanium tetrachloride reacts violently with water to produce large amount of heat, use of water to remove it will cause thermal burns to the skins as well as chemical burns Wiping with dry towels or cotton waste must be done to remove most of the material, Followed by washing with copious amount of water.
If clothing is contaminated with titanium tetra chloride, remove it before washing, since it could get heated up from a possible water titanium tetrachloride reaction causing thermal burns.If titanium tetra chloride is present on the skin after removal of clothing, treat as discussed earlier.

 Titanium Tetrachloride Production | Mining Waste | EPA   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
The waste in question, titanium tetrachloride waste acids (which implicitly includes iron chloride), was one of numerous mineral processing wastes that was made conditionally exempt from RCRA Subtitle C requirements under the Bevill Amendment to RCRA, and later codified at 40 CFR Part 261.4(b)(7).
In 1989, following a study of the nature and characteristics of this waste, EPA determined that titanium tetrachloride waste acids (and therefore iron chloride) did not qualify for the Mining Waste Exclusion.
Du Pont, which is the sole generator of the iron chloride waste in question, filed a lawsuit against EPA claiming that its process was different than the conventional chloride process and, therefore, that its wastes (including iron chloride) should be considered separately for Bevill status.

 Formation of titanium nanoparticles
The formation of titanium nanoparticles from plasmas in mixtures of titanium tetrachloride, argon and hydrogen is examined using three approaches: chemical equilibrium calculations, chemical kinetic calculations and a nucleation-coupled model of particle formation coupled to chemical kinetic equations.
It is calculated that titanium yields approaching 100% are possible for sufficiently large residence times at a high temperature, and sufficiently rapid quench rates.
The residence time and quench rate conditions are less stringent for high ratios of argon to titanium tetrachloride in the initial gas mixture.
