Title: System and process for production of magnesium metal and magnesium hydride from magnesium-containing salts and brines

Patent ·
OSTI ID:1333287
; ; ; ; ; ; ; ;

A system and process are disclosed for production of consolidated magnesium metal products and alloys with selected densities from magnesium-containing salts and feedstocks. The system and process employ a dialkyl magnesium compound that decomposes to produce the Mg metal product. Energy requirements and production costs are lower than for conventional processing.
