Product Description

Product Description

Basic Information

• Chemical Name: Titanium Tetrachloride
• Molecular Formula: TiCl4
• Molecular Weight: 189.68 g/mol
• CAS Registry Number: 7550-45-0
• Synonyms: Titanium(IV) chloride, TET

Physical and Chemical Properties

• Appearance: Colorless to pale yellow fuming liquid (turns dark brown with impurities); emits dense white fumes in moist air.
• Melting Point: -25 °C (248 K)
• Boiling Point: 136.4 °C (409.5 K)
• Density: 1.726 g/cm³ at 25 °C
• Solubility:
  • Reacts violently with water, forming hydrochloric acid (HCl) and titanium oxides/hydroxides.
  • Soluble in organic solvents (e.g., benzene, carbon tetrachloride) but insoluble in hydrocarbons.
• Chemical Characteristics:
  • Strong Lewis acid, readily accepts electron pairs (e.g., forms adducts with ethers).
  • Highly reactive with nucleophiles (water, alcohols, amines), releasing HCl gas.
  • Thermally stable but decomposes at high temperatures (> 1000 °C) into titanium dichloride and chlorine.

Applications

• Primary Industrial Use:
  • Production of Titanium Metal: Via the Kroll process, where TiCl4 is reduced by magnesium or sodium to yield spongy titanium.
  • Catalyst in Polymerization: As a component of Ziegler-Natta catalysts for synthesizing high-density polyethylene (HDPE) and polypropylene (PP).
• Chemical Synthesis:
  • Precursor for Titanium Compounds: Used to prepare titanium oxides (TiO2), titanium alkoxides (e.g., titanium isopropoxide), and metal titanium carbides/nitrides.
  • Reagent in Organic Chemistry: For chlorination reactions and as a Lewis acid catalyst in Friedel-Crafts alkylation/acylation.
• Specialty Applications:
  • Smoke Generation: Due to its rapid hydrolysis in air, used in military smoke screens and pyrotechnics.
  • Coating and Deposition: In chemical vapor deposition (CVD) to form titanium dioxide coatings for pigments, semiconductors, or optical films.
  • Metallurgy: As a flux in welding and soldering of titanium alloys.

Safety and Handling

• Health Hazards:
  • Corrosive: Causes severe burns on skin and eyes; inhalation of fumes irritates respiratory tract, leading to coughing or pulmonary edema.
  • Toxicity: Acute oral LD50 in rats: ~ 500 mg/kg; chronic exposure may damage liver and kidneys.
• Environmental Risks:
  • Reacts with water to release HCl, causing soil and water acidification; toxic to aquatic life.
• Handling Precautions:
  • Use in a fume hood with full personal protective equipment (PPE: gloves, goggles, chemical-resistant clothing).
  • Store in airtight, dry containers at room temperature, away from moisture and reactive materials (water, bases).
  • In case of spillage, neutralize with lime (CaO) and absorb with inert materials; avoid contact with water.
