Commercially pure titanium in the chemical field

Commercially pure titanium pipe in the chemical field

    titanium metal has excellent corrosion resistance and mechanical properties, is widely used in many departments. In particular chemical applications, can be used instead of stainless steel with titanium as a corrosion-resistant material, which extend the life of equipment, reduce costs, prevent pollution and improve productivity and so has a great significance. In recent years, China's chemical industry by expanding the scope of titanium, the amount increases every year, titanium has become one of the major chemical equipment corrosion resistant materials. Titanium as a chemical plant in a corrosion-resistant structural materials for chemical equipment has become an ideal material.
Chlor-alkali industry
     Chlor-alkali industry is an important basic raw material industry, a great impact on their production and development of the national economy. This is because the titanium chloride for superior corrosion resistance of stainless steel and other non-ferrous metals used. Chlor-alkali industry is currently widely used to produce titanium metal anodes, ion-exchange membrane electrolyzer, wet chlorine cooler, refined salt water preheater tower dechlorination, chlorine wash cooling tower. The main components of these devices in the past to use more non-metallic materials (such as graphite, polyvinyl chloride, etc.), due to the mechanical properties of non-metallic materials, thermal stability and processing performance is not ideal, resulting in heavy equipment, energy consumption, short life and affect product quality and pollute the environment. Therefore, China since the 1970s, began with a metal anode and membrane electrolyzer replace graphite electric tank, with titanium wet chlorine cooler cooler instead of graphite, have achieved good results.
     Soda is one of the basic chemical raw materials, it is directly related to the development of national economy. Soda ash production process, and NH3 gas medium mostly CO2, the liquid medium is mostly NaCl, higher NH4Cl, NH4HCO3 and Cl- concentration of the solution, the use of carbon steel, cast iron carry out the carbonation reaction of carbonation tower tubules, hot mother liquor cooler , coolers, and other main external cooling crystallization equipment, are intolerant of corrosion, corrosion serious leakage, life is not more than three years. 1975-1977, Tianjin Soda Plant and Dalian Chemical Industry Company conducted a titanium plant demonstration work, carbonation cooling tower 63 × 2mm, flat titanium heat exchanger, titanium cold outside, titanium pump, CO2 turbine compressor rotor , Ti-6Al-4V alloy impeller application works well, which is performed using titanium transformation and three new 600,000 tons of soda ash plant played a role model for the entire industry.
