Use of various MgO resources for high-purity Mg metal production through molten salt electrolysis and vacuum distillation

A green and effective electrolytic process was developed to produce high-purity Mg metal using primary and secondary resources containing MgO as a feedstock. The electrolysis of various MgO resources was conducted using a Cu cathode in MgF2 – LiF – KCl molten salt at 1043 K by applying an average cu...
