METHOD OF REDUCING IRON, REDUCING SILICON AND REDUCING TITANIUM DIOXIDE TO TITANIUM METAL BY GENERATING ELECTROMAGNETIC INTERACTIONS OF SiO PARTICLES, SILICON-CONTAINING GAS, FeTiO PARTICLES AND MAGNETIC WAVES Russian patent published in 2015 - IPC B01J19/08 C01B33/23 C01G23/00 C22B34/12 

FIELD: chemistry.

SUBSTANCE: invention can be used in chemical and ore mining industry. Reduction of iron, silicon and reduction of titanium dioxide to titanium metal is carried out by generating electromagnetic interactions of SiO₂ particles, a silicon-containing gas, FeTiO₃ particles and magnetic waves. The method includes pumping energy in crossed fields with parametric resonance in an RLC circuit with multi-mode modulation at resonance frequencies in the range of 10⁵-10¹² Hz or higher, with inductive interaction of SiO₂ particles, the silicon-containing gas or FeTiO₃ particles in travelling magnetic and electric waves with circular or elliptical polarisation in a closed volume of an electron-ion current loop or rotor-type particle vortex, in the range of 10¹-10⁶ Hz of cyclic frequency, with magnetic-electric inertial confinement of rotating magnetic and electric stator-type waves.

EFFECT: invention enables to convert hard-to-decompose silicon- and titanium-containing material without using acids, while improving environmental friendliness and reducing power consumption.
