The invention discloses a process used for refining crude
titanium tetrachloride and capable of prolonging the
production cycle. The process comprises the following steps: crude
titanium tetrachloride and a
vanadium-removing
reagent as an
organic matter are fed into a mixed-material feed
system, then the obtained
mixed materials is fed into a reactor and heated in the reactor by a heat source provided by a heating coil so as to complete the
vanadium-removing process in the reactor; pure
titanium tetrachloride steam is fed into a condenser, and after the pure
titanium tetrachloride steam exchanges heat with circulating cooling water, the obtained steam enters a
reflux accumulator, then part of the obtained steam as refluxed liquid is returned to a packed
tower and then transported back to a
reaction system, and the other part of the obtained steam is fed into an intermediate tank to detect, after passing the detection, this part of the obtained steam is fed into a finished-product
storage tank, wherein in the process of refluxing, the
reflux ratio is controlled at one second to one third; mud samples are taken out from the reactor every 6 to 8 hours so as to keep the
solid-
liquid ratio in the range of 30 to 60 percent; and the mud discharged from the reactor is transported to a
molten salt chlorination
system every 6 to 8 hours so as to recycle the
titanium tetrachloride in themud. The process provided by the invention has the advantages that a production
system can continuously and stably operate more than 24 months, thereby improving the production efficiency; and the
titanium tetrachloride in the mud discharged from the reactor can be recycled, thereby reducing the production cost and reducing the environmental
pollution.
