Recycling of Magnesium Scrap and Drosses

In finely divided form magnesium, both as pure magnesium and alloyed with 30 wt.% Al, has been used in military pyrotechnics for many years and has found numerous uses in incendiary devices and flares. In the form of finely divided particles, it has been used as a fuel component, particularly in solid rocket propellants. 

Structural The mechanical properties of magnesium improve when it is alloyed with small 

Agricultural Dolomite is used as a fertilizer in areas with acid soil and magnesium oxide is used as 

High-temperature The predominant industrial application of magnesium compounds is in the use of thermal insulation magnesite and dolomite in refractory bricks. Bricks of high-purity magnesia are (2%) exceptionally wear and temperature resistant, with high heat capacity and
