A METHOD FOR PREPARING FINELY DIVIDED VIOLET TITANIUM TRICHLORIDE CRYSTALS SUBSTANTIALLY FREE OF TITANIUM DICHLORIDE AND TITANIUM TETRACHLORIDE WHICH COMPRISES CONTINUOUSLY PASSING AN ADMIXTURE OF HYDROGEN AND TITANIUM TETRACHLORIDE AS REACTANT GASES THROUGH A REACTION ZONE AT A TEMPERATURE WITHIN THE RANGE FROM ABOUT 600*C. TO ABOUT 1300*C., THEREAFTER INTRODUCING A QUENCH GAS UNDER CONDITIONS TO REDUCE THE EFFLUENT FROM SAID REACTION ZONE TO A TEMPERATURE WITHIN THE RANGE FROM ABOUT 140*C. TO ABOUT 250*C., THE REACTANT AND QUENCH GAS FLOW RATES AND TEMPERATURES BEING SO REGULATED AS TO PRODUCE A REDUCTIION OF FROM ABOUT 2 TO ABOUT 50 VOLUME PERCENT OF SAID TITANIUM TETRACHLORIDE IN SAID REACTION ZONE TO FINELY DIVIDED VIOLET CRYSTALS OF TITANIUM TRICHLORIDE, THE AMOUNT OF HYDROGEN FEED BEING IN EXCESS OF THAT REACTED IN THE REDUCTION OF TITANIUM TETRACHLORIDE TO TITANIUM TRICHLORIDE, AND IMMEDIATELY AFTER SAID QUENCHING STEP, SEPARATING SAID TITANIUM TRICHLORIDE CRYSTALS FROM THE EFFLUENT GASES.
