    The extraction of titanium uses the Kroll process. Titanium ore is called rutile. Rutile contains titanium dioxide Ti O 2. T itanium dioxide is converted into titanium chloride Ti Cl 4. Titanium is more reactive than carbon but it is not extracted by electrolysis because titanium chloride is covalent and therefore does not conduct electricity.
