Three groups of mixtures including TiO2 mixed with SiO2, Ti-bearing blast furnace slag (TBFS) mixed with TiO2, and TBFS mixed with high-titanium slag (HTS) were prepared at the same stoichiometric ratio (Ti : Si = 5 : 3) corresponding to the target composition of Ti5Si3, and used as the starting materials in this experiment, respec- tively. The pressed porous cylindrical pellet of the Ti/Si-contalning compounds served as a cathode, and two different anode systems, i.e., the inert solid oxide oxygen-ion-conducting membrane (SOM) based anode system and graphite-based anode system were used contrastively. The electrochemical experiment was carried out at 900--1050℃ and 3.0--4.0V in molten CaCl2 electrolyte. The results show that the oxide components were electro-deoxidized effectively and Ti5Si3 could be directly extracted from these complex Ti/Si-containing metal oxide compounds.展开更多
