Titanium hydrocarbon hydrogenation

Titanium carbide may also be made by the reaction at high temperature of titanium with carbon titanium tetrachloride with organic compounds such as methane, chloroform, or poly(vinyl chloride) titanium disulfide [12039-13-3] with carbon organotitanates with carbon precursor polymers (31) and titanium tetrachloride with hydrogen and carbon monoxide. Much of this work is directed toward the production of ultrafine (<1 jim) powders. The reaction of titanium tetrachloride with a hydrocarbon-hydrogen mixture at ca 1000°C is used for the chemical vapor deposition (CVD) of thin carbide films used in wear-resistant coatings. 

Alternatively the gas is passed over CuO pellets at 300° to remove hydrogen and hydrocarbons, over Ca chips at 600° to remove oxygen and, finally, over titanium chips at 700° to remove nitrogen. Also purified by freeze-pump-thaw cycles and by passage over sputtered sodium [Arnold and Smith J Chem Soc, Faraday Trans 2 77 861 1981]. 

H-Iron [Hydrogen iron] A process for making iron by reducing powdered iron oxides from ores or scrap, using hydrogen. A variation on the process will convert iron/titanium ores to a titanium concentrate and metallic iron. Developed by Hydrocarbon Research and United States Steel Corporation, and used in Pennsylvania and California. See also DR.

The action of carbon tetrachloride or a mixture of chlorine with a hydrocarbon or carbon monoxide on the oxide.—H. N. Warren 9 obtained aluminium chloride by heating the oxide to redness with a mixture of petroleum vapour and hydrogen chloride or chlorine, naphthalene chloride or carbon tetrachloride was also used. The bromide was prepared in a similar manner. E. Demarpay used the vapour of carbon tetrachloride, the chlorides of chromium, titanium, niobium, tantalum, zirconium, cobalt, nickel, tungsten, and molybdenum H. Quantin, a mixture of carbon monoxide and chlorine and W. Heap and E. Newbery, carbonyl chloride. 

Miscellaneous Oxidations. Titanium silicalites (TSs) are molecular sieves that incorporate titanium in the framework. They are able to perform oxygenation of various hydrocarbons under mild conditions by hydrogen peroxide.184,185... 

In this paper we review the results of our systematic work on the catalytic and adsorptive properties of transition metal carbides (titanium, zirconium, hafnium, vanadium, niobium, tantalum, chromium, molybdenum, tungsten, and iron). We focus our attention on the oxidation of hydrogen, carbon monoxide, ammonia, and the oxidative coupling of methane. The first two reactions are examples of complete (non-selective) oxidation, while the oxidation of ammonia simulates a selective oxidation process. The reaction of oxidative coupling of methane is being intensively explored at present as a means to produce higher hydrocarbons.5 10... 

Class D fires involve strong reducing agents such as active metals (magnesium, titanium, zirconium, and alkali metals), metal hydrides, and organome-tallics. Special dry-chemical fire extinguishers are available for these fires (e.g., Ansul Co.). Sand is also useful for small fires of this type. Water should be avoided because it promotes the fire by liberation of hydrogen or hydrocarbons.
