Magnesium can be extracted through pyrometallurgical or hydrometallurgical processes. Pyrometallurgical extraction involves high temperature reduction processes like the Pidgeon, Bolzano, and Magnetherm processes. However, these processes have high energy usage. Hydrometallurgical processes like the Dows process use aqueous solutions but require large water usage. Alternative processes under development include the Mintek, SOM, and carbothermic routes which aim to provide more sustainable magnesium production. Overall, new technologies are needed to lower the energy consumption of magnesium extraction from its oxides.

Metallurgy is a domain of materials science and engineering that studies the physical and chemical behavior of metallic elements, their intermetallic compounds, and their mixtures, which are called alloys. Metallurgy is also the technology of metals: the way in which science is applied to the production of metals, and the engineering of metal components for use in products for consumers and manufacturers. The production of metals involves the processing of ores to extract the metal they contain, and the mixture of metals, sometimes with other elements, to produce alloys. Metallurgy is distinguished from the craft of metalworking, although metalworking relies on metallurgy, as medicine relies on medical science, for technical advancement.
Metallurgy is subdivided into ferrous metallurgy (sometimes also known as black metallurgy) and non-ferrous metallurgy or colored metallurgy. Ferrous metallurgy involves processes and alloys based on iron while non-ferrous metallurgy involves processes and alloys based on other metals. The production of ferrous metals accounts for 95 percent of world metal production.

Using recycled concrete aggregates (RCA) for pavements is crucial to achieving sustainability. Implementing RCA for new pavement can minimize carbon footprint, conserve natural resources, reduce harmful emissions, and lower life cycle costs. Compared to natural aggregate (NA), RCA pavement has fewer comprehensive studies and sustainability assessments.
Cosmetic shop management system project report.pdfKamal Acharya
Buying new cosmetic products is difficult. It can even be scary for those who have sensitive skin and are prone to skin trouble. The information needed to alleviate this problem is on the back of each product, but it's thought to interpret those ingredient lists unless you have a background in chemistry.
Instead of buying and hoping for the best, we can use data science to help us predict which products may be good fits for us. It includes various function programs to do the above mentioned tasks.
Data file handling has been effectively used in the program.
The automated cosmetic shop management system should deal with the automation of general workflow and administration process of the shop. The main processes of the system focus on customer's request where the system is able to search the most appropriate products and deliver it to the customers. It should help the employees to quickly identify the list of cosmetic product that have reached the minimum quantity and also keep a track of expired date for each cosmetic product. It should help the employees to find the rack number in which the product is placed.It is also Faster and more efficient way.

extraction of magnesium
1. Introduction
Special Facts About Magnesium:
Joseph Black recognized magnesium as an element in 1755
Magnesium, light metal has a density of 1783 kg/m3, (high-strength-to weight
ratios) which is two thirds of aluminum and one sixth of steel
Due to magnesium ion's high solubility in water, it is the third most-abundant element dissolved in seawater.
Alloys of magnesium have good corrosion resistance, good machinability, good dimensional stability and
damping capacity
ORE:
Dolomite (CaMg(CO3)2) Magnesite (MgCO3) Carnallite(KMgCl3.6H2O)
2. In the iron and steel industry, magnesium is added for producing SG iron by transforming graphite into
spherical nodules, thereby improving the strength and malleability of the iron.
Used in production of titanium from titanium tetrachloride
Magnesium blended with lime or other fillers is injected into liquid blast-furnace iron, where it improves
mechanical properties of steel by combining with sulfur and oxygen.
Applications
Magnesium side panels Aerospace applications Alloyed wheel
Car parts Mobile phone bodies Camera bodies
3. Pyrometallurgy deals with the methods of extraction of metals from their ores and their refining
and is based on physical and chemical changes occurring at high temperatures, i.e. 500-2000°C.
Pyro-metallurgical extraction
• Lower capital costs
• High production rates
• Physical separation of product metal from the gangue easy
Advantages
• Cannot be developed to commercial operation in small scale
• Lean grade ore not suitable
• High temp is required for reduction
Dis-Advantage
Pyro metallurgical route for magnesium extraction is silico-thermic process which are
1.Pidgeon process 2. Bolzano Process 3. Magnetherm Process
4. Pidgeon Process
Reducing molten magnesium oxide slag by ferrosilicon under low gas pressure at a
temperature of about 1400C
STEPS INVOLVED:
Ratio of Calcine dolomite : ferrosilicon as briquettes = 6:1
A pressure of 0.1 mm Hg is maintained inside the reactor
Gas or electricity is used as the source of heat
Magnesium vapor condenses in the cooler regions of the retort
Reaction cycle time is about 8 hours
At the end the retort is opened and the solid magnesium is recovered
5. Hydro metallurgical extraction
Hydrometallurgy is the extraction of metals from ores, concentrates, and various waste products
by means of aqueous solutions of chemical reagents with the subsequent separation out of
the metals from these solutions
DIS-ADVANTAGEAdvantage

6. Dows process
Dolomite and seawater is precipitated as insoluble magnesium hydroxide Mg(OH)2 which is
subsequently treated with HCl to give MgCl2
.
MgCl2 is fed into electrolysis cell to produce Mg metal at cathode and Cl2 at anode
7. • Magnesium chloride decomposes in the electrolytic cell according to the reaction:
Cathode: Mg2+ + 2e → Mg(l) E= -2.38 V
Anode: 2 Cl- → Cl2(g) + 2e E = 1.36 V
Overall: MgCl2(s) → Mg(l) + ½ Cl2(g) E = 3.74 V
• Metallic magnesium is formed at the cathode
• Chlorine, which is by-product of the process, is collected at the anode
8. Why Alternative Routes Required?
PIDGEON PROCESS
• Pidgeon process suffers
from
• Low productivity
• High labour requirement
• High energy consumption
• The ferrosilicon reactant
used in the process is also
produced by an energy-
intensive system.
• Thus, the Global Warming
Potential(GWP) associated
with the Pidgeon process is
high
DOW PROCESS
• The electrolytic route
is characterized by
high maintenance cost
due to the
deliquescent and
corrosive nature of
MgC12.
• Preparation of the
required quality of cell
feed is a major
challenge in this
process
ALTERNATIVE ROUTE
• Low capital cost
• Direct use of fossil
energy without
conversion to electricity
• Low cost of labour Low
cost of raw material,
dolomite and low cost
of coal
9. The MINTEK process is a silico-thermic process operating at atmospheric pressure and at a temperature of
about 1600-1800degC.
Magnetherm process was developed in 1950s and served as an advanced version of Pidgeon’s process.
In this process , magnesium extraction is carried out in an AC submerged arc Furnace
DC arc furnace technology led to the development of Mintek process.
The key to this process relies on the utilization of slag and aluminium, in addition to ferrosilicon
Vapour pressure of magnesium is much higher, at about 0.85 atm.
Mintek Process
10. The Solid Oxide Membrane (SOM) process
• In this process, reduction of magnesium oxide dissolved in fluoride-based electrolytes (MgF2-CaF2-
MgO) is carried out by passing electric current at 1150 to 1300 oC.
• When electrical current is applied, magnesium oxide dissociates into magnesium and oxygen.
• Oxygen ions are pumped out through Yttrium Stabilised Zirconia (YSZ) membrane to the anode
• The magnesium vapour evolves at the cathode and condenses in a separate chamber.
alternative to electrolytic
process
11. Carbothermic routes
• Alternative to both silicothermic and electrolytic process.
• The process involves carbon to reduce magnesium oxide which produces magnesium vapour
and carbon monoxide gas above 1500 oC.
The overall reaction can be written as:
MgO(s) + C(s) = Mg(s) + CO(g)
Problem:
• The shortcomings come from the reverse reaction of magnesium vapour and carbon monoxide
gas as the mixture is cooled down. This result in fine magnesium powder contaminated with
magnesium oxide
Solution:
• To overcome the reversion issue on two process routes: The “quench” route and the “solvent
route”.
• In the “quench” route, magnesium and CO are generated are rapidly quenched and recovered.
• In the ‘solvent’ route agglomerated feed is fed into the reduction phase containing a molten
metal solvent in which magnesium formed from reduction dissolved in the molten metal while the
CO gas librates.
The process is currently very theoretical and requires significant work
before it can be developed
12. The light weighting of transportation and alloy development will continue be the
driving force of the increasing demand of magnesium metal
Magnesium production consumes greater energy than other metal production
routes due to its oxide chemical stability.
In particular, the Pidgeon process as the dominant production route in the world
has high energy consumption which leads to high a Global Warming Potential.
CONCLUSIONS
Thus, technology improvement is essential to achieve lower energy
usage and a sustainable future
New processes such as Carbothermic and the Mintek process are
high productivity alternatives to the existing technologies that still
require further development.
