But, is it really titanium? The least green metal in existence?
I mean boil ilmenite in sulfuric acid until the iron dissolves out.
Filter, dry, and heat to red heat, then add chlorine gas to make TiCl4.
Condense that out of the exhaust, gather it up, and place into a reaction vessel with either sodium or calcium metal. Light it off, when the vessel stops bouncing, you have titanium sponge with salt. When it cools down, wash out the salt, and melt the titanium in a vacuum furnace to get a metal.
The good news is when you need a new number, given how hot titanium burns, disposing of the old card will be very entertaining.
Note, class D fire extinguishers do not work on titanium. Your choices are vacuum, carbon monoxide, and argon or helium."
