Magnesium Turnings
If you wish to recycle
Magnesium Turnings,
ADD your Buy or Sell inquiry to the Inter-Continental Metal Exchange.
Magnesium turnings, borings or grindings must be free of excessive oils & moisture.
CAUTION should be exercised when handling, storing or transporting any magnesium fines.
Magnesium Turnings, borings and fines may be an ideal feedstock as a solid
Metal Oxidation Fuel.
Irony Magnesium Scrap
If you wish to recycle
Irony Magnesium Scrap,
ADD your Buy or Sell inquiry to the Inter-Continental Metal Exchange.
Irony Magnesium Scrap contaminated with iron attachments or bolts & screws, which are difficult to separate manually,
may be included in this grade.
Magnesium Oxide
Magnesium Oxide has a wide number of industrial uses including as a refractory and insulator with heat-resistant properties,
as a component in cement and fireproof wallboards, fertilizer, wastewater treatment, and Medical & Pharmaceutical applications,
Magnesium Oxide is easily converted into Magnesium hydroxide in the presence of water in the form of steam.
MgO + H2O = Mg(OH)2,
The conversion of Magnesium Oxide (MgO) into Magnesium Metal is a relatively complex
process
that requires the substantial input of energy.
Magnesium Salts Recovery
The recovery of
Magnesium Salts
from wastestream
Brine Solutions
has the potential to convert Magnesium Oxide or Magnesium Chloride into a sustainable source of
Magnesium Hydroxide
or for further reduction into Magnesium
metal.
Magnesium Chloride (MgCl2) is broadly used as an ice melt or deicing product.
Magnesium Energy Cycle
Magnesium is an energetic metal that has the potential to play a unique roll in assisting the greening of the worlds energy demand.
The
oxidation
of Magnesium metal has the ability to release harvestable energy.
A Magnesium oxidation displacement reaction may contribute to the
reduction of CO2
by splitting Carbon Dioxide into solid carbon.
MgO Conversion to Magnesium Metal
A traditional method of producing Magnesium Metal utilizes the Dow Process to refine Mg from seawater.
Several approaches may be used to achieve the conversion of Magnesium Oxide into pure Mg Metal,
all of these paths are energy intense.
One MgO reduction method is a two step process that utilizes a
Molten Media Catalyst
to perform Molten Salt Electrolysis and vapor compression distillation.
The use of Tin (Sn) as a catalyst in the electrolysis step forms a 50-50 Sn/Mg alloy that is the direct feedstock into the
second step vacuum distillation unit.
The multi effect distillation unit yields pure magnesium (Mg) metal and a residual of approximately 90% Sn and 10% Mg and is returned
directly to the electrolysis unit and used as the molten cathode material.
Magnesium Battery
The large scale adoption of the use of Magnesium in battery technologies seems to lag in relation to other more prominent materials.
As additional research develops more common usage we may see Magnesium Batteries in many forms, items such as the Magnesium-Air Battery
may find a its own use case niche.
Opportunities to explore the value of Magnesium in
flow batteries
and fuel cells are an area worth pursuing.
Magnessium Hydride
The production of Magnessium Hydride, tyipicaly in the form of powders or slurry pastes, provides the opportunity to create a
hydrogen
energy carrier.
Magnessium Hydride (MgH2) acts as an ideal Exothermic
Energy Carrier
that accomodates the solid state, ambient temprature and pressure storage and transportation.
Magnessium Carbonate
The Mineralization of Magnessium Carbonate (MgCO3) may act as a
CO2 Sink
Magnessium Carbonate may be used as the raw feedstock in
Circular Aggregates
for use in the production of building and construction materials.
