Magnesium is widely used in varieties industrial sector. Dolomite is one source of magnesium besides seawater. The extraction of magnesium from dolomite ores can be done by leaching process.
The process entails the production of Mg – Cu alloy through the molten salt electrolysis of calcined dolomite at 1083–1173 K using a Cu cathode, and the recovery of high-purity Mg metal from Mg alloy through vacuum distillation at 1300 K.
Industrial production of dolomite is produced by mixing the impure dolomite mineral with additives like magnesium hydroxide, silica, etc. to integrate dolomite impurities. Then, the mixture upon grinding is made compacted forming briquettes. It is followed by burning briquettes at a high temperature of 1,700 to 2,200° C fined by sieving it ...
