Popis:	INTRODUCTION Titanium has many attractive properties and the use of titanium and its alloys can be greatly increased if a new and less expensive process for the production of pure titanium were developed. Electrolysis in a molten salt electrolyte is a possible way to produce titanium, and many attempts to develop an electrolysis process have been reported. Large cells and pilot plants have been run, but no commercial electrolysis production has been achieved. Of importance is the work by Ginatta [1] which resulted in the successful development of a pilot cell for the electrowinning of titanium from TiCl4 dissolved in a molten NaCl based electrolyte. A more recent approach is due to Fray et al. [2] who suggested a new electrolysis method, later known as the FFC Cambridge method. Similar methods have been proposed by Suzuki et. al [3] and Okabe and Waseda [4].
