Description
Titanium tetrachloride is the inorganic compound with the formula TiCl4. It is an important intermediate in the production of titanium metal and the pigment titanium dioxide. TiCl4 is an unusual example of a metal halide that is highly volatile. Upon contact with humid air, it forms spectacular opaque clouds of titanium dioxide (TiO2) and hydrogen chloride (HCl).
USES
Production of titanium metal
Production of titanium dioxide
Smoke screens
It has been used to produce smoke screens since it produces a heavy, white smoke that has little tendency to rise
