Titanium and Titanium Alloys—From Raw Material to Semi‐finished Products

With a total of 0.6 %, titanium ranks fourth among metals, behind iron, aluminum, and magnesium, and ninth among all elements in the Earth’s crust. However, even today it has not yet lost the air of an exotic and expensive material. The majority of titanium is used as oxide (about 95 %) in the paint industry as whitener or filler material. Not many people are aware of the fact that titanium as oxide is part of everyday life, e.g., in toothpaste, white paint, sun blockers, etc. The main reason behind the late use of titanium as a metal is the difficult and costly reduction of oxide to metal.     

二氧化钛光催化剂的制备及其性能研究

本文采用溶胶-凝胶法(sol-gel)制备了纯相和掺杂不同量Fe3+、Zn2+、Cu2+和S2-的TiO2粉体,并讨论了不同热处理温度、掺杂元素及掺杂量对TiO2粉体光催化性能的影响。以甲基橙溶液为目标降解物,用紫外可见分光光度计对TiO2粉体的光催化性能进行测定。实验结果表明,煅烧温度为450℃、掺入0.25%的Zn2+的TiO2粉体的催化效果最好。
