A new method for the preparation of low oxygen titanium was proposed by the direct reduction of TiO₂ with Mg produced by MgCl₂-KCl-YCl₃ molten salt electrolysis. The Mg-Ti-O phase diagram indicates that it is feasible to reduce TiO₂ using Mg, and the φ-p_O2- diagrams indicate that deep deoxidation of titanium in molten MgCl₂-YCl₃ is also feasible. The experimental study on the reduction of TiO₂ was carried out in MgCl₂-YCl₃ and MgCl₂-YCl₃-KCl molten salts. The results showed that the O^2- from the reduction and deoxygenation was removed using YOCl precipitation and CO_x gas production and TiO₂ can be reduced to titanium peroxide (Ti₆O) by electrochemical reduction at 1073-1173 K and 2.5-3.1 V. The high-oxygen titanium was electrochemically deoxidized in the molten salt of MgCl₂-YCl₃ at a temperature of 1173 K at different voltages. Moreover, it was observed that it is possible to reduce the high oxygen content of titanium from 1200×10^-6 to less than 100×10^-6 oxygen.
