How to smelt magnesium ingots?  What is mined magnesium used for?
 

Magnesium is a hard, light, and shiny metallic element that is commonly found in ores in the earth's crust. The smelting process of magnesium is to separate it from the ore and convert it into a usable form. The smelting process of magnesium ingots is described below.

First, after mining, magnesium ore is sent to a crusher to break the ore into smaller particles.

 

Next, these crushed ores are sent to a flotation machine for flotation. By immersing the magnesium ore in water, the density difference between magnesium and other ores is used to separate the magnesium ore from other ores through bubbles.

 

The separated magnesium ore is then sent to a smelting furnace for smelting. The high temperature and chemical reaction in the furnace will reduce the magnesium oxide in the magnesium ore to magnesium.

 

In the furnace, the reducing agent commonly used is coke or coal. When the reducing agent burns, the carbon gas they release combines with the oxygen in the magnesium ore to form carbon oxide and reduce the magnesium oxide to magnesium metal.

 

The temperature in the furnace is usually maintained at 1200°C to 1400°C, which ensures that the magnesium ore is effectively reduced to magnesium metal.

 

After smelting in the furnace for a period of time, the magnesium metal will gather at the bottom of the furnace and form liquid magnesium. Subsequently, the liquid magnesium will be cast into block-shaped magnesium ingots for subsequent processing and use.

 

It is worth noting that the process of smelting magnesium requires strict control of temperature and furnace atmosphere to ensure that the reaction can proceed effectively and produce high-purity magnesium metal.

 

In general, the smelting process of magnesium ingots includes steps such as ore crushing, flotation, smelting in a smelting furnace and casting. These steps reduce the magnesium oxide in the magnesium ore to pure liquid magnesium through chemical reactions and high-temperature treatment, and finally form magnesium ingots.
