Titanium metal production apparatus and production method for titanium metal

An apparatus for producing titanium metal, comprising:

• (a) a first flow channel for supplying gaseous magnesium;
• (b) a second flow channel for supplying gaseous titanium tetrachloride;
• (c) a gas mixing section in communication with the first flow channel and the second flow channel, wherein the gaseous magnesium is mixed with the gaseous titanium tetrachloride in the gas mixing section, and a temperature within the gas mixing section is controlled at not lower than 1600° C.;
• (d) a titanium metal deposition section in communication with the gas mixing section, wherein the titanium metal deposition section is at a temperature of 715 to 1500° C. and under an absolute pressure of 50 to 500 kPa, and wherein particles for deposition are movably disposed in the titanium metal deposition section;
• and
• (e) a mixed gas discharge section in communication with the titanium metal deposition section,
• wherein the particles are supplied from an upper portion of the titanium metal deposition section, and the gas mixing section is communicatively connected to a side of the titanium metal deposition section.
