Electrolysis & Casting

After the first three stages of the Magnola Process, dry magnesium chloride granules have been produced. The granules are melted in an electrolyte and treated by a chlorination process involving the injection of gaseous acid. Metallic magnesium is then produced by electrolysis by sending a strong electrical current through the electrolyte. The metallic magnesium is tapped and then cast in ingots.
