The thermodynamic calculations of TiO2-C- C12 system show that when C is excess in the solid phase, titanium tetrachloride and carbon monoxide can exist sta- bly. At high temperature, the reaction with CO as the product is the dominant reaction. The appropriate reaction conditions are as follows: reaction temperature of 950 ℃, reaction time of 40 min, carbon ratio of 30 wt% of rutile, natural rutile particle size of -96 μm, petroleum coke size of -150 μm, and chlorine flow of 0.036 m3.h-1. Under the above conditions, the reaction conversion rate of TiO2 can reach about 95 %. This paper proposed a reaction rate model, and got a rutile chlorination rate formula, which is generally consistent with the experimental data. For the TiO2-C-C12 system, the reaction rate is dependent on the initial radius of rutile particle, density, and the partial pressures of C12. From 900 to 1,000 ℃, the apparent activation energy is 10.569 kJ.mo1-1, and the mass diffu- sion is found to be the main reaction-controlling step. The expression for the chlorine reaction rate in the C-C12 sys- tem is obtained, and it depends on the degree of reaction, the partial pressure of C12, and the size of rutile particle.展开更多
