A study conducted at the Albany Research Center of the Bureau of Mines, U.S. Department of the Interior, describes the reaction between rutile sand and phosgene to produce titanium tetrachloride. The effects of temperature, phosgene concentration, and rutile surface on this reaction were studied in a small fluidized bed between 550-1100{sup 0}C. Four distinct areas of reaction were found and characterized. The potential commercial importance of the use of phosgene in the production of titanium tetrachloride is discussed.
