Abstract

Magnesium metal is one of the few metals with multiple raw material sources. These are either from the hydrosphere of the ocean and saline lakes or from the lithosphere from ores and natural evaporites. This paper will describe CO2emission from both the chemical process stand-point as well as the physical process energy requirements. Present processes of electrolytic as well as the thermal reduction will be described along with their carbon dioxide emissions. Novel methods will be introduced as to how the carbon emission in the production of this light metal can be minimized in a cost effective fashion.
