It has been estimated that this type of electrolytic approach may reduce the costs of producing titanium sponge by more than half, with the additional benefit of a smaller environmental footprint. The process utilises a consumable carbon anode which releases a mixture of CO\n                    <sub>2<\/sub>\n                    and CO gas during electrolysis, but suffers from low current efficiency due to the occurrence of parasitic side reactions involving carbon. The replacement of the carbon anode with a cheap, robust inert anode offers numerous benefits that include: elimination of carbon dioxide emissions, more efficient cell operation, opportunity for three-dimensional electrode configurations and reduced electrode costs. This paper reports a study of Nb-doped titania anode materials for inert anodes in a titanium electrolytic reduction cell. The study examines the effect of niobium content and sintering conditions on the performance of Nb-doped TiO\n                    <sub>2<\/sub>\n                    anodes in laboratory-scale electrolysis tests. Experimental findings, including performance in a 100 h laboratory electrolysis test, are described.\n                  <\/p>","DOI":"10.1039\/c5fd00235d","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,6,6]],"date-time":"2016-06-06T06:00:53Z","timestamp":1465192853000},"page":"35-52","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1039\/rsc_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":16,"title":["Development of a niobium-doped titania inert anode for titanium electrowinning in molten chloride salts"],"prefix":"10.1039","volume":"190","author":[{"given":"Graeme A.","family":"Snook","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"CSIRO Mineral Resources"},{"name":"Clayton South"},{"name":"Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Katherine","family":"McGregor","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"CSIRO Mineral Resources"},{"name":"Clayton South"},{"name":"Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Andrew J.","family":"Urban","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"CSIRO Mineral Resources"},{"name":"Clayton South"},{"name":"Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Marshall R.","family":"Lanyon","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"CSIRO Mineral Resources"},{"name":"Clayton South"},{"name":"Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"R.","family":"Donelson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"CSIRO Mineral Resources"},{"name":"Clayton South"},{"name":"Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mark I.","family":"Pownceby","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"CSIRO Mineral Resources"},{"name":"Clayton South"},{"name":"Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"292","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2016]]},"reference":[{"key":"C5FD00235D-(cit1)\/*[position()=1]","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"35","DOI":"10.1149\/1.3071290","volume":"78","author":"Kroll","year":"1940","journal-title":"Trans.
