Outline of Final Research Achievements

The complex oxide consisting of stable oxide MO and CaO with crystalline infhomonenity was reduced in the molten CaCl2 to form a specific appearance of metallic crystal. Because the amount of bar-like Nb was preferencially produced from CaxMyOz, the dendritic Nb is formed via the complex oxide, even when starting from Nb2O5. The morphology depends on the sequence of reduction.
New production process of metallic Ti is proposed using TiS2: When TiS2 is reduced in CaCl2-CaS molten salt, oxygen contamination should be free. As well as CaO in OS process, CaS is electrochemically decomposed to Ca and it reacts with TiS2 to form metallic Ti. Resultantly it contained only 0.015mass%S. By calciothermic reduction in a canned CaCl2 molten salt without electrolysis, 0.26mass%S in Ti was achieved from TiS2. The residual oxygen in the both reactions were related with the particle surface.
