Author:Van Vuuren, DS; Engelbrecht, AD; Hadley, TDDate:Sep 2006Titanium is the ninth most abundant element and the forth most common construction metal in the earth’s crust. It’s high strength, high-temperature performance, low density, high corrosion resistance and bio-compatibility makes it the ideal ...Read more
Author:Oosthuizen, SJ; Swanepoel, JJ; Van Vuuren, DSDate:Oct 2014The CSIR-Ti process produces titanium metal powder through continuous stepwise metallothermic reduction of titanium tetrachloride (TiCl(sub4)) in molten salt medium, and represents a cost-effective alternative to the standard Kroll process ...Read more
Author:Oosthuizen, SJDate:Mar 2011This article explores the Fray Farthing Chen (FFC) Cambridge process, a novel method for the electrochemical deoxidation of metal oxides in molten salt, discovered at the University of Cambridge in 1997. The process was hailed as a highly ...Read more
Author:Kebede, Mesfin A; Ozoemena, Kenneth IDate:Feb 2017A molten salt synthesis technique has been used to prepare nanorods of Mn2O3 and single-crystal LiMn2O4 nanorods cathode material with superior capacity retention. The molten salt-directed synthesis involved the use of NaCl as the eutectic ...Read more
