Titanium chloride has broad application prospects. Longbai Group is my country’s leading enterprise

​ ​​Titanium chloride, also known as titanium tetrachloride, has a chemical formula of TiCl4 and is an inorganic compound. Titanium chloride appears as a colorless or slightly yellow liquid. It has a strong pungent smell in large amounts and can be dissolved in dilute hydrochloric acid, cold water and ethanol. Titanium chloride has good thermal stability and is widely used in petrochemical, electronic and electrical, plastic products, metal processing and other fields.

The main preparation methods of titanium chloride include molten salt chlorination and boiling chlorination. The molten salt chlorination method refers to adding petroleum coke and titanium slag to the molten salt medium, then passing in chlorine gas, and producing titanium chloride under high temperature conditions. This method is widely used in overseas countries, and it is easy to cause equipment corrosion and molten salt. Problems such as difficulty in recycling and environmental pollution. The boiling chlorination method, also known as the fluidized chlorination method, uses carbonaceous and titanium-rich materials as the main raw materials, and boils petroleum coke and titanium slag in the furnace to produce finished products. With the continuous optimization of boiling chlorination technology, the boiling chlorination method has become the mainstream preparation method of titanium chloride in my country.

According to the “2023-2028 China Titanium Chloride Industry Market In-depth Research and Development Prospects Forecast Report released by the Industrial Research Center, Titanium chloride is an important raw material for preparing titanium sponge and titanium dioxide. Titanium sponge has corrosion resistance, high temperature resistance and other properties, and is widely used in metallurgy, construction, chemical industry, textile, medical and other fields. According to statistics from the China Nonferrous Metals Industry Association, my country’s titanium sponge production will reach 140,000 tons in 2021, a year-on-year increase of 13.7%. Benefiting from the increasingly strong downstream demand, the development space of my country’s chlorination industry continues to expand. In terms of market prices, as the price of chlorine gas drops, the production cost of titanium chloride has decreased, driving its overall price downward.

There are many titanium chloride manufacturers in my country, and the market competition is fierce. At present, the main players in my country’s titanium chloride market include Fujian Kuncai Material Technology Co., Ltd., Henan Longbai Group Co., Ltd., Kaisheng Technology Co., Ltd., Panzhihua Iron and Steel Group Vanadium and Titanium Resources Co., Ltd., and Western Superconducting Material Technology Co., Ltd. Co., Ltd., Baoji Titanium Industry Co., Ltd., etc.

Longbai Group is my country’s leading titanium chloride enterprise. The company focuses on the research and development, production and sales of titanium chloride, titanium dioxide, titanium sponge and other products. In 2012, Longbai Group took the lead in introducing large-scale boiling chlorination technology from German Titanium Company, achieving continuous and stable production of titanium chloride, titanium dioxide and other products. According to the annual report of Longbai Group, the company’s operating revenue from titanium sponge and titanium chloride reached 1.29 billion yuan in 2021, a year-on-year increase of 59%.

Industry analysts said that titanium chloride has excellent performance and good application prospects. With the continuous optimization of production technology of local enterprises and the increasing market demand, titanium chloride has excellent performance and good application prospects. Strong, the development trend of my country’s titanium chloride industry will continue to improve. At present, my country’s titanium chloride market is highly competitive with many manufacturing companies, and Longbai Group ranks as the industry leader. It is expected that in the future, with the rapid development of downstream industries, the market share of high-quality titanium chloride will increase.
