| Abstract Scope |
The process of magnesium extraction by silicothermic process is in vacuum, which leads to discontinuous production. The condensation of magnesium vapor in inert gas is an important step to realize continuous magnesium production. In this paper, the condensation behavior of magnesium vapor in inert carrier gas is studied. The effects of temperatures on the condensation phenomenon, condensation area, condensation weight and microstructure of magnesium vapor were investigated. The results show that three different condensation appearance can be obtained by magnesium condensation in argon gas conditions. With the increase of temperature, the condensation temperature of magnesium vapor increases, the mass of large particles of magnesium decreases, the mass of powdered magnesium increases; higher purity of magnesium can be obtained at different temperatures, which can provide theoretical support for continuous magnesium production process. |
