Abstract Scope |
The primary production process developed by Alliance Magnesium Inc. is a hydrometallurgical process combined with an electrolytic process. It constitutes an improvement over the former Noranda Magnola Process and uses a combination of best in class technology to produce a high-quality magnesium for use in many applications, including the most demanding, namely the automotive market. It also introduces a radical breakthrough technological change by the production of some valuable by-products.
The process allows processing and extracting magnesium from tailing, such as asbestos mine tailing, obtained after processing of magnesium-bearing ores and including a multi steps continuous line through the preparation and classification of the ores, the magnetic separation, a strong acid leaching, a liquid/solid separation ans washing, a resin captation ans hydrolysis recovery, dehydration and electrolysis. |
