Production of high-purity Mg metal from dolomite through novel molten salt electrolysis and vacuum distillation

In this study, a novel Mg production process for producing high-purity Mg metal from dolomite was developed. When the electrolysis of calcined dolomite was conducted using Cu cathode and C anode in MgF2 – LiF molten salt at 1083–1173 K by applying an average current of 1.42–1.46 A for 9.50–21.0 h, t...
