Abstract

The invention relates to a method of making magnesium through electrolyzing magnesia directly, which belongs to the metal material field, characterized in that it uses the magnesia as raw material, uses the neodymium chloride and magnesium chloride as the fused salt electrolyte, wherein the mole percent of neodymium chloride and magnesium chloride is 20~30% and 70~80%. The mixed fused salt has lower fusible point and better conductivity in the range 650~800 Deg.c, in particular that the magnesium has lower dissolvability, and the weight percentage of magnesia dissolvability is 5~10%, the electrolyzing temperature is 720~760 Deg.c, the tank voltage is 4.5~6.5V, and the electric current efficiency can reach 85~90 Deg.c, the direct current consumption of magnesium per kilogram is 11~12.5kwh, the purity of magnesium is above 99.5%. The method is a new highly-effective metallurgical technology with no pollution.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of metal materials, in particular to a method for directly electrolyzing magnesium oxide to produce metal magnesium. Background technique [0002] Magnesium is an important light metal with a wide range of uses. So far, the main methods of producing magnesium in the world are magnesium chloride molten salt electrolysis and thermal reduction, of which the magnesium produced by magnesium chloride molten salt electrolysis accounts for 60%. The magnesium smelting methods of the magnesium-producing countries in the world organize the magnesium industry according to their own resource characteristics. my country is rich in magnesite resources, accounting for one-third of the world's total. Therefore, my country's magnesium electrolysis is based on magnesite to organize magnesium industrial production. Firstly, magnesite is calcined above 1000°C to obtain magnesium oxide, then chlorinated with magnesium oxide to prepare an...
