29 Titanium is extracted from an ore called rutile. Rutile is an impure form of titanium(IV) oxide, TiO2.
Rutile is mixed with coke and heated in a furnace through which chlorine gas is passed. The product
is gaseous titanium(IV) chloride, TiCl4.
After titanium(IV) chloride is heated with magnesium, the unreacted magnesium is removed by
adding an excess of dilute hydrochloric acid to the mixture.
