| Abstract Scope |
An increase in the demand for structural materials has improved considerably from the past few years with the properties of low-density has impelled to the improvement of lightweight and energy efficient materials. The magnesium metal is used in several lightweight transportation applications because of its beneficial low density with outstanding stiffness and high strength to weight ratios. A new method for recycling of magnesium is multiple effect distillation which can substantially increase the efficiency of the system and thereby reducing the overall cost up to 90% when compared to the conventional batch method distillation. This G-METS distillation is a continuous operation which assists in recovering the pure magnesium metal from several magnesium-based alloys. This study showcases the design of continuous G-METS distillation of magnesium alloys considering the experimental data of the distiller to substantiate model estimates and effective magnesium recovery rates. |
