Pidgeon process as one of the silicothermic processes is the main method for Mg
production. This paper aims at reviewing the research and improvement of the Pidgeon …

Under the policy of low carbon energy saving, higher requirements are put forward for
magnesium smelting. As the mainstream magnesium smelting process, the Pidgeon process …

The silicothermic reduction of magnesium was investigated by the non-isothermal
thermoanalysis in flowing argon, while the traditional investigations of silicothermic process …

The extraction of magnesium by prefabricated pellets with CaSi 2 as reductant was studied
under relative vacuum. The morphologies, chemical compositions and phases of the …

The nucleation and condensation of Magnesium (Mg) vapor carried by argon gas (Ar) were
examined. The condensation of Mg vapor at a heat source temperature of 1273–1473 K and …

This paper is a contribution to the theoretical and quantitative understanding of the
processes for the production of magnesium metal by metallothermic process in vacuum …

Dumping or disposal of fly ash causes environmental pollution and huge waste of valuable
metals. In this work, carbothermic reduction of fly ash under normal pressure to produce Al …

A novel process has been proposed for magnesium production, in which powder materials
including dolomite, ferrosilicon, fluorite and binder are mixed to produce pellets. Kinetics of …

A novel method was used to prepare metallic magnesium through a coupled electro-thermal
field at 10 Pa pressure by using calcined dolomite and ferrosilicon as raw materials. This …

Compared with Pidgeon process, the relative vacuum continuous magnesium smelting
process reduces the ratio of material to magnesium by changing raw materials and the direct …
