mintek thermal magnesium process
Minerals Engineering International OnlineCommodities
Mintek in partnership with Anglo American and Eskom Enterprises has been developing the Mintek Thermal Magnesium Process (MTMP) for almost five years. The project which is partially funded by the Department of Science and Technology is aimed at obtaining design data for a possible magnesium production facility in South Africa.

CiteSeerX — Refining Testwork on Crude Magnesium Produced
Abstract. AbstractSamples of crude magnesium produced by the Mintek Thermal Magnesium Process were refined in two stages. The first stage consisted of co-melting of batches of the crude metal and MgCl2-KCl flux (cleaning) followed by stirring at 30 rpm for 30 minutes and settling of the sludge (mixture of molten salt and solid impurities) from the magnesium melt.

Beneficiation and mineral processing of magnesium minerals
Mar 29 2016 · A schematic of the Mintek process furnace is shown in Figure 5. The key to this process relies on the utilization of slag and aluminium in addition to ferrosilicon for the reduction of magnesium oxide at higher temperatures 1700 to 1750oC. Thus the vapour pressure of magnesium is much higher at about 0.85 atm.
