Provided is a method for preparing metallic titanium by anode-electrolysis of carbonized/sulfurized ilmenite, and relates to the technical field of mineral processing and electrochemical extraction of metallic titanium in molten salts in non-ferrous metallurgy. The method uses titanium-containing ore, carbon (C) and sulfur (S) as raw materials and prepares a Ti—C—S/titanium sulfide anode material with high electric conductivity through a sintering reaction, and then uses the Ti—C—S/titanium sulfide anode to prepare metallic titanium in a molten salt electrolyte system successfully. With the Ti—C—S composite soluble anode in the present invention, metallic titanium is deposited at the cathode and CS.sub.2/S.sub.2 gas is generated at the anode in the molten salt electrolysis process; in addition, the gas can be used as a raw material to effectively treat the ore to prepare titanium sulfide.

A titanium foil or a titanium sheet is produced by electrodeposition from molten salt using constant current pulse, the method comprising: forming an electrodeposited titanium film on a surface of a cathode electrode made of glassy carbon, graphite, Mo, and Ni, and separating thereafter the electrodeposited titanium film from the cathode electrode by performing one or both of applying an external force to the electrodeposited titanium film and removing the cathode electrode. This enables the electrodeposited titanium film electrodeposited on the cathode electrode to be peeled from the cathode electrode simply and at low cost.

The system includes a raw material predrying kiln, a preheating kiln, a reduction rotary kiln, a cooling rotary kiln, a ball mill, a magnetic separator, a reduced iron powder drying kiln, a blank prefabricator, a blank drying kiln, a sintering furnace, a fused salt electrolysis tank, a titanium cleaning device, a filtering device, a vacuum dryer, a waste heat boiler, and a steam turbine generator. In the present disclosure, a high-temperature flue gas produced by the reduction rotary kiln is directly used to preheat a raw material. The CO-containing high-temperature flue gas discharged by the reduction rotary kiln and the CO discharged at the fused salt electrolysis stage are recovered and used for power generation and steam production of the waste heat boiler. Due to a low moisture content of the flue gas, a low-temperature flue gas obtained after the waste heat recovery is used for drying.
