Magnesium metal is used in a diverse range of markets and applications exploiting the unique physical and mechanical properties of the element and its alloys. The use of magnesium increases annually as the lightweight properties are used to reduce weight, increase fuel efficiency, and reduce greenhouse emissions. But how is magnesium extracted? This article describes […]

Catalyzing Commercialization: Clean, Low-Energy Method for Primary Magnesium Metal Production

August 8, 2022 /0 Comments/in /by

Magnesium metal is a critical infrastructure material commonly associated with structural lightweighting in automotive, aircraft, and portable electronic segments. Currently , China uses the silicothermic Pidgeon process to produce 85% of global Mg metal. This crude process, which emits on average 28 kg CO2eq/kg Mg, is inefficient and polluting, but its low labor and energy costs translate […]
