| Abstract |
The electro-reduction of titanium dioxide (TiO2) to titanium metal (Ti) was performed in molten calcium chloride. Partially reduced samples during the reduction process were collected and characterized by X-ray diffraction analysis. The reaction pathway has been derived from the time-dependent reduction phases of TixOy, which is concluded to the pathway of Ti6O11, Ti4O7, Ti3O5, Ti2O3 and Ti2O. |
