I suggest powderizing the molten alloy and treating it with carbon monoxide to form [[Carbonyl Metals Plant|iron carbonyl]]. This should separate iron and titanium with better energy efficiency and more thoroughness than I would expect from a distillation process. I think the process works at a powderized iron-titanium alloy temperature. I am unsure at the moment of the relevant melting and carbonyl formation temperatures. I understand that carbonyl iron would be a rather pure product.
