Description of Titanium Carbide :
Titanium carbide is a black solid at room temperature, with high melting points and hardness characteristics. Its crystal structure is A face-centered cubic structure with eight carbon atoms around each titanium atom and four titanium atoms around each carbon atom, which gives it a lattice constant of 3.24 A. Titanium carbide has a density of about 4.5g/cm3, and its hardness and melting point are high, similar to diamond. At the same time, titanium carbide has a high melting point and chemical stability.
Regarding chemical properties, titanium carbide is highly stable and insoluble in water but soluble in alkali and molten metals, such as sodium and potassium. It can react with strong oxidants such as nitric acid, potassium permanganate, etc., and with metal oxides such as alumina and zinc oxide. Titanium carbide can react with carbon and titanium compounds at high temperatures to produce titanium carbide.

Production Methods of Titanium Carbide :
Carbothermal reduction method
Carbothermal reduction is the reaction of a mixture of titanium and carbon at high temperatures to produce titanium carbide. The specific steps are as follows:
(1) The titanium oxide (TiO2) and carbon powder are mixed proportionally as raw materials.
(2) Put the mixed raw materials into the carbon tube furnace and conduct a carbothermal reduction reaction at high temperatures.
(3) After the reaction, the product is crushed and roasted at high temperature under vacuum to remove the residual and free carbon.
(4) the roasted products are ground, washed, and dried to obtain titanium carbide products.
The carbothermal reduction method has higher production efficiency and lower cost. Still, the product purity is low, often symbiosis with other substances such as TiN, so it needs further purification and processing.
Chemical vapor deposition
Chemical vapor deposition is the reaction of titanium compounds with carbon compounds under gaseous conditions to produce titanium carbide. The specific steps are as follows:
(1) Titanium compounds (such as TiCl4) and carbon compounds (such as CH4) are used as raw materials, and hydrogen is used as the carrier gas and then mixed into the reactor.
(2) the raw material gas is heated and catalyzed in the reactor to produce titanium carbide and hydrogen.
(3) The product is separated and purified to obtain titanium carbide products.
The chemical vapor deposition method can prepare high-purity titanium carbide. It can prepare different specifications of products by adjusting the reaction parameters, so it has been widely used in electronic, optical, and other fields. However, the production cost of this method is high, and the technology is difficult.
In actual production, the production process of titanium carbide needs to pay attention to the following points:
(1) The purity and quality of raw materials impact the performance and quality of products, so it is necessary to strictly control the quality of raw materials and choose raw materials with higher purity.
(2) Reaction temperature and time are important factors affecting the preparation methods, such as the carbothermal reduction method and chemical vapor deposition method, and it is necessary to strictly control the reaction conditions and maintain the appropriate reaction temperature and time.
(3) Introducing impurities and harmful substances must be avoided during preparation.
(4) In the production process, it is necessary to pay attention to the selection and maintenance of equipment to ensure the stability and reliability of equipment.
