Abstract
Ti was produced on a Pt cathode and its dioxide on a Pt anode by an electrolytic method from baths containing a Ti salt and in presence of simple complexing agents, at current densities ranging between 200 and 600 mA/cm exp 2 . Spectrophotometric and chemical analysis revealed that the purity of the element and its dioxide is better than 99.0%. Mechanism of the electrolytic production of the element and its dioxide is discussed. The effects of current density, complexing agent/metal ion ratio, ammonium salt, temperature and current efficiency are also discussed.--AA.
