Titanium Recycling- Basic Information

 Basic Information(Ti):
         Titanium is a chemical element with the symbol Ti and atomic number 22. Sometimes called the “space age metal”, it has a low density and is a strong, lustrous, corrosion-resistant (including to sea water, aqua regia and chlorine) transition metal with a silver color.

 Extraction of Titanium(Ti)

Even if the present extraction of titanium by the Kroll Process is relatively energy intensive as compared to other manufacturing metals, the energy and waste savings achieved by the use of titanium represent a payback not available from less corrosion resistant, heavier, less strong and environmentally less friendly materials. The development of reduced energy extraction processes continues, most notably with the FFC electrolytic de oxidation process, which not only consumes less energy, but is also a more environmentally friendly process overall.

Production of Titanium

Hot working of titanium metal from ingot or billet follows similar procedures to other metals, but at typically lower temperatures than for example steels or nickel based alloys. Energy consumption per weight of material processed is overall of the same order as for steel, but because of its lower density the volume of titanium product yielded is typically 30-40% greater.

 

Reclamation and Recycling of Titanium

Titanium scrap generated in manufacturing processes and in equipment fabrication is fully recyclable. Substantial investment by titanium producers in cold hearth and other remelting furnaces has greatly improved the economy of recycling and made possible the direct use of the widest possible range of scrap forms. The sustained value of life expired titanium parts and systems should always be taken into account in life cycle cost considerations. The probability that titanium process plant and other equipment will remain both clean and free of corrosion means that re-use of the whole plant or of elements of the plant, e.g. condenser tubing, may be considered, and offer further economies in major equipment production and procurement cycles.

11-Dimensional Mind

By: jim starr | 06/11/2009
We humans are 3-dimensional perceptual beings immersed in a multi-dimensional reality which our minds cannot grasp. This aspect of our existence is amazingly fundamental, but is generally ignored. However, this remarkable existential disconnect has ramifications that hugely affect our EVERYDAY lives.

Genetic Engineering

By: DR Chand Zahid | 06/11/2009
This subject is immensely intricate but hugely entertaining and stimulating for a human mind. It involves manipulation of material that has such wide diversity, which is yet not fully covered or even understood by the scientists. This article will try to tackle the subject by explaining its meaning and functions.

What is Forensic Science? A brief knowledge

By: Jameson Meer | 05/11/2009
Forensic Science is turning into a very famous subject, but, few individuals seem to have a concrete knowledge regarding this division of Science. Maybe the key reason for the fame of forensics is the achievement; some television shows have taken pleasure during the past several years.

How to Compute SNR or Signal to Noise Ratio

By: Jameson Meer | 05/11/2009
The SNR or Signal to Noise Ratio gives a contrast of the signal amount w/ the background noise amount in a specific signal; such that a high Signal to Noise Ratio specifies the noise is less obvious.
