  1. Titanium (Ti) Native Titanium Titanium Dioxide Christian M. Lawrence 7.1 #5

  2. Table Of Contents • Basic Information • Properties • Uses • Sources • Interesting Facts • Bibliography

  3. Basic Information • Symbol: Ti • Element Classification: Metal • Atomic Number: 22 • Atomic Weight: 47.88 AMU • Discovered by William Gregor 1791 (England) • Melting Point: 1659.85oC • Boiling Point: 3286.85oC • Electron Configuration: [Ar] 4s2 3d

  4. Properties • Pure Titanium is a lustrous white metal with low density and high strength. • Titanium is as strong as steel, but it is 45% lighter. • Titanium is 60% heavier than aluminum, but it is twice as strong. • Titanium is the only element that burns in nitrogen.

  5. Uses • Titanium is important for alloying with aluminum, molybdenum, iron, manganese, etc. • Construction materials or chemical reactors. • Titanium Dioxide is the pigment used in (most) paint. • There is an idea of using Titanium Dioxide for purification of water, due to the reaction of the compound when it comes in contact with light. • Bombardment with deuterons can render titanium very radioactive, it will emit positions and hard gamma rays. • A typical lipstick contains 10% titanium.

  6. Sources • Titanium is difficult to find and create. • Titanium is found in the sun and in meteorites. • Rocks from the Apollo 17 mission to the moon contained up to 12.1% TiO2 – Titanium Dioxide. • Titanium is present in the ash of coal, in plants, and in the human body. • Titanium could be produced commercially by reducing titanium tetrachloride with magnesium.

  7. Interesting Facts • The name ‘Titanium’ is based on the name of ‘Titans’ which in Greek beliefs meant first sons of the Earth. • The price of titanium metal powder (99.95%) is about $100/lb. • Titanium has low toxicity.
