Mining and general information about magnesium

Magnesium mining

The world's largest magnesium deposits are in the United States, Norway and China. The pure metal is obtained after industrial processing of the following minerals:

• magnesite;
• dolomite;
• kieserite;
• epsomite.

Magnesian salts are found in large quantities in the salt deposits of self-sedimentary lakes. Deposits of fossil carnallite salts of sedimentary origin are known in many countries. The history of the discovery of magnesium is related to the mineral waters in England from which the salt was isolated, with a bitter taste. The apothecaries called it bitter salt, and determined that it consisted of the sulfuric salt of an unknown element. The Latin name of the element was given from the name of the ancient city of Magnesia, in the vicinity of which there are especially many deposits of the mineral magnesite. In 1829, French chemists obtained magnesium by reducing it with molten KCl. The next step to industrial production was made by Michael Faraday. In 1830 he obtained magnesium for the first time from molten _MgCl2. The supplier Auremo offers high quality products compliant with GOST and international standards.

Magnesium production

The industrial method of obtaining this metal is based on the method of obtaining the metal from molten _MgCl2, which was suggested by Michael Faraday

The molten metal is systematically taken from the electrolysis bath, and new portions of magnesium-containing raw materials are added. Since the metal obtained by this method contains a relatively large (about 0.1%) of impurities, if necessary, "raw" magnesium is subjected to additional purification. This is done either by electrolytic refining or remelting in a vacuum with special fluxes.
