Talk:Kroll process

Kroll Process Date

According to Don Sadoway, MIT Professor of Material Science, the Kroll process was invented in 1937. See MIT OpenCourseware, 3.091 Introduction to Solid State Chemistry, Lecture 3, about 9:31 into the video.

Sodium in Kroll Process?

The description of the Kroll process says that Mg or Na are used to reduce the TiCl₄, and the Kroll process is replacing the Hunter process... But the Hunter process uses Na to reduce TiCl₄... Both processes work at approximately the same temperature, and in a stainless steel vessel. So what is the actual difference? Emteeoh (talk) 19:45, 1 September 2015 (UTC)

Confusing Language

"Prior to the Kroll process, titanium was separated from its ores by the chloride process," This implies taht the Chloride Process was used prior to the discovery of the Kroll process as opposed to currently being used as a prior step to the Kroll process.

Prior to the Kroll process being developed the Hunter process was used. Now that the Kroll Process is used, the Chloride Process is used as a first step to produce Tickle-4 from the ore/oxide, Tickle being the feedstock for the Kroll process. Therefore, prior to the Kroll Process, titanium IS separated from its ores by the chloride process. 198.103.109.141 (talk) 03:52, 31 May 2020 (UTC)
