Titanium is recognized for its high strength, low density, and excellent chemical stability, making it vital in various applications. Despite being abundant in the earth's crust, the production of pure metallic titanium is costly and complex, primarily due to the Kroll process currently employed, which is batch-oriented and energy-intensive. This study aims to investigate a novel approach to titanium production utilizing a combined Kroll and electroslag process. The experimental methodology involved producing titanium from titanium tetrachloride through reduction with magnesium at elevated temperatures, specifically between 800–900 °C. By achieving better separation of reaction products via molten slag, this method holds the potential to streamline the production process and reduce overall processing time. The results demonstrate that this integrated approach can enhance the efficiency of titanium extraction and address the limitations associated with the conventional Kroll process. The findings suggest that employing this method can significantly shorten the technological pathway for pure titanium production, ultimately facilitating broader applications of titanium and its alloys in industrial domains.
