This invention relates to a method for producing titanium tetrachloride by low temperature chlorination of titanium-containing raw material by using chlorohydrocarbon. In this invention method, moving-bed reactor or fluidized-bed is used, with the combined action of oxidability gas, proceeding the reaction of the chlorohydrocarbon and titanium-containing raw material under the temperature lower than the smelting point of calcium or magnesium chlorides to produce titanium tetrachloride and other side-products with low boiling points. After separation in the separator on the top of the reactor, the titanium tetrachloride is obtained, and the chlorohydrocarbons are reused by recovery. This invention solves the problems of prior art method of bubbling chlorination i.e. the critical requirement of low Ca, Mg contents, and cohesiveness caused by the chlorides of calcium and magnesium. Advantages are: wide raw material is available, low corrosion, low energy consumption, being suitable for commercial production.
