This special issue includes papers from presentations at the 6th International Round Table on Titanium Production in Molten Salts (TiRT6). The conference was held from 10-13 June 2018 at Reykjavik University, Reykjavik, Iceland. Titanium Round Table conferences have previously been held in Cologne in Germany (2008), Trondheim-Tromso in Norway (2010), Cambridge in the UK (2012), Shanghai in China (2014) and Hokkaido in Japan (2016). 32 scientists participated in the TiRT 6, the majority coming from Japan and China. 25 contributions were given as oral presentations, of which 12 from China, 10 from Japan, 2 from Oman as well as contributions from UK, Iceland and Norway. The main goal of the series of these round table conferences is to gather experts to discuss possibilities to develop a new and more sustainable process for primary production of titanium based on electrochemical approaches using molten salt electrolytes.
