Titanium metal is obtained from the mineral rutile tio2. how many kilograms of rutile are needed to produce 100.0 kg of ti?

Mass of rutile required to produce 100kg Ti = 166.85 kg, however the process may vary due to the quality of the rutile found and the extraction process.

Addition of rutile minerals as a fuel derived from coal (petrochemical derivative — carbon) and chlorine. The substances are taken to a fluid bed reactor, with a controlled temperature at 100°C, for segregation of tickle or titanium tetrachloride (TiCl4), a porous solid that is not yet pure titanium.

2 FeTiO3 + 7 Cl2 + 6 C → 2 TiCl4 + 2 FeCl3 + 6 CO

2 Mg (l) + TiCl4 (g) → 2 MgCl2 (l) + Ti (s)

With this information we can conclude that the product of this reaction is pure solid titanium, and Mass of rutile required to produce 100kg Ti = 166.85 kg
