Abstract

This paper examines an experimental process designed to electrolytically remove magnesium from scrap charges in secondary smelting. The principle involves selective oxidation of magnesium from the molten alloy into mixed chloride salt electrolyte and simultaneous deposition at the cathode-electrolyte interface. Magnesium is recovered in the form of salt-coated globules, which might be useful in ferrous desulfurization practice. This process may provide a feasible alternative to traditional chlorination, without attendant environmental problems.
