Thermal Reduction for Magnesium & Magnesium alloy scrap Recycling

Thermal reduction is a commonly used method for recycling both magnesium and magnesium alloy scrap. This process involves melting magnesium or magnesium alloy scrap and then exposing it to a reducing agent, such as chlorine or silicon. The reducing agent reacts with any impurities or other metals in the scrap, leaving behind pure magnesium or magnesium alloy.

The basic steps in the thermal reduction process are as follows:

1) Melting: The first step in thermal reduction is to melt down the magnesium or magnesium alloy scrap. The scrap of magnesium metal block is typically melted in a furnace or other high-temperature environment.

2) Purification: Once the scrap is melted, a reducing agent (such as chlorine or silicon) is added to the molten metal. The reducing agent reacts with any impurities or other metals in the scrap, leaving behind pure magnesium or magnesium alloy.

3) Separation: After purification, the pure magnesium or magnesium alloy is separated from any remaining impurities. This can be done through a range of separation techniques, such as filtration, centrifugation, or flotation.

4) Reuse: The pure magnesium or magnesium alloy can be reused as a raw material for new products. The recycled material can be used in a range of applications, including as a structural material in the automotive and aerospace industries, as a coating for electronics, and in the production of portable electronic devices.

Thermal reduction is a desirable method for magnesium and magnesium alloy recycling because it is relatively simple and energy-efficient. However, it does require high-temperature furnaces and other specialized equipment, which can be expensive to set up and maintain. Despite its initial costs, thermal reduction is a crucial part of the magnesium and magnesium alloy recycling process and plays an essential role in reducing waste and conserving resources.
