The discovery of titanium and laboratory research

At the end of the 18th century, British priest and amateur mineralogist William Gladstone gore (William Gregor) and German chemist m. h. carat prot (m. h. Klaproth) successively in 1791 and 1795, respectively, from a black magnetite ore (later know this is titanomagnetite) and a kind of non magnetic oxide ore (later understand that it is the natural rutile ore) discovered a new element, they are called "ink," (place) found that titanium magnetite and titanium "soil".Prove a few years later, from these two kinds of minerals found in the so-called "ink," and "Titanium soil" is actually the same kind of element oxide, and in Greek mythology hercules Titan (Titans) to name the new element for "Titanium" (Titanium).
First made from titanium found to relatively pure titanium has experienced 120 years of history.And pure titanium obtained by laboratory for the first time to the first time in industrial production, and spent nearly 40 years.Many researchers have done a lot of exploration, to suffer again and again failed, finally succeeded in 1948, dupont, produce the tonnage level of titanium sponge, porous titanium.
Chinese titanium industry during the 10 years of rapid development, serious out of control, many places in the local protectionism "vigorous" break into the development of titanium project, causing serious oversupply of titanium market, although the titanium and titanium use accelerated, but also can not change the present situation of the actual capacity is more than demand.In 2012, for example, although more than 60000 tons of total titanium significant growth over the previous year, but titanium ingot exports increased significantly, baosteel, treasure titanium titanium processing enterprises titanium ingot stock accumulated in more than 5000 tons, other countries also stockpiled 4000 metric tons of titanium ingots.Thus, domestic titanium production, demand is not synchronous growth, on the contrary, it can be seen that foreign titanium industry development is relatively rational, unlike domestic development "stuttering" in the out of control.
In 2012, the economy starts to recover, the market of titanium industry in China is still weak, but we don't blame it is caused by the financial crisis, the European debt crisis, but in the development of their own out of control to find the reason, otherwise, all kinds of the economic crisis is over, desperately on project development crisis around the titanium industry in China is still there.Throughout the course of the more than 10 years of titanium industry in China is such a along with the cycle of pain: the first expansion - the first reshuffle to increases production for the second time, the second shuffle...Development of titanium industry in China from 1960 s to 2004, both titanium and titanium processing capacity is very small, such as at the end of 2000 China's production of titanium sponge, 2000 tons, but as the titanium demand is gradually increasing, the end of 2004 to 2005 titanium sponge price has risen from $5, 60000 tons up to 200000 ~ 200000 yuan 1 tons, has a price no city phenomenon of sudden huge profits, began to appear quietly in titanium field appeared for the first time large-scale expansion, just a few short years capacity quickly turned over more than 60 times.Expansion, adjustment, pain, 2012 years after the reshuffle sponge titanium in China production base in 2000 increased by more than 40 times
