Thermal reduction
This technique, utilized in the Magnetherm process, has the advantage that the liquid slag can be heated directly by electric current through a water-cooled copper electrode. The reduction reaction occurs at 1,600 °C and 400–670 pascals pressure. Vaporized magnesium is condensed in a separate system attached to the reactor, and…
