Abstract
We have studied the physical and chemical properties of aqueous titanium(IV) chloride solutions. The results demonstrate that, during TiCl4 dissolution in water, only part of the titanium(IV) chloride hydrolyzes. Aqueous solutions with up to 60 wt % TiCl4 contain unhydrolyzed TiCl4 species. Titanium(IV) chloride solutions have an increased chemical activity for aluminum hydroxide and aluminum oxide compared to hydrochloric acid. It has been shown that reactions of metallic aluminum with titanium(IV) chloride solutions can yield lower titanium(III) chlorides.
