19 Question and Answer 19
20 History of Titanium 1791 First discovered by William Gregor, a clergyman and amateur geologist in Cornwall, England Klaproth, a German chemist, gave the name titanium to an element re-discovered in Rutile ore Nilson and Pettersson produced metallic titanium containing large amounts of impurities M. A. Hunter produced titanium with 99.9% purity by the sodiothermic reduction of TiCl 4 in a steel vessel. (119 years after the discovery of the element) 1946 W. Kroll developed a commercial process for the production of titanium: Magnesiothermic reduction of TiCl 4... Titanium was not purified until 1910, and was not produced commercially until the early 1950s. 20
