Magnesium is the 8th most abundant element, discovered in 1808 by Davy and later isolated by Bussy. It is widely used in aluminum alloys for cans and die casting.
It tarnishes slightly in air, and its powder ignites when heated, burning with a bright white flame. It is usually protected by a layer of oxide (MgO).
Produced globally (USA, Canada, Europe, Asia, CIS), with significant production from seawater.
Produced commercially, often by recovering magnesium chloride (MgCl2) from seawater using calcium oxide (CaO).
Electrolysis of molten MgCl2 yields liquid magnesium.
Another method involves the thermal reduction of dolomite [MgCa(CO3)2] with ferrosilicon.
The Mg is then distilled.
Magnesium is the lightest of the structural metals; a quarter the weight of steel and a third lighter than aluminium. Today, magnesium is used in a diverse range of markets and applications, each one exploiting the unique physical and mechanical properties of the element and its alloys. World production of magnesium totals around 400,000 tonnes per annum and the figure is increasing annually as the lightweight properties of Magnesium Alloys are used increasingly in the automotive industry as a means of reducing weight, increasing fuel efficiency and reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
Magnesium, due to its specific chemical and electro-chemical properties, can be used in many quality conscious fields of engineering such as space, laboratories and automobile industries. Nowadays its application includes many areas such as:
Lightweight alloy structures to optimize payload capabilities and enhance fuel economy parameters.
Acts as the main alloying element in aluminum sheet for the production of aluminum cans.
Functions as a reliable chemical reduction agent to isolate critical pure materials.
Specialized industrial engineering deployment involving high thermal stability standards.
Direct metallurgical processing integration to extract toxic sulphur traces from steel elements.
Deployment of sacrificial metallic anti-corrosion safety loops for structural environments.
To service growing demand, there is potentially no limit to magnesium output since magnesium comprises about 2.5% of the earth's surface. Seawater contains 0.14% magnesium and the element is abundant in minerals Carnallite, Dolomite, and Magnesite. Alloys used for structural applications can be recycled back into products displaying the same characteristics as primary material. Recycling requires only 5% of the energy required to produce the primary product.
Magnesium is produced for profit in such places as the United States and Canada, Western Europe, South America and Asia. In the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) it is produced for hard Western cash and, like aluminum, seems to be exported to the West.
Magnesium can be recovered commercially from massive seawater deposits as Magnesium Chloride (MgCl2) through initial reaction stages with Calcium Oxide (CaO):
Electrolysis of hot molten MgCl2 affords magnesium as a liquid which is poured off, alongside chlorine gas:
The alternative method involves "calcined" dolomite reacted with ferrosilicon alloy:
Approx. 3mm X 0.2mm in dimension. These are coils of approx. 25 gms each. They are mainly used for study purposes in Scientific Kits in various educational institutions. The specifications may be changed as per the demand.
These are small chips of magnesium metal. Its dimension varies from 1 mm to 6 mm wide and upto 2 mm thick or as desired. This turning is used in various Pharmaceutical companies. Gaupad Chemicals have been manufacturing, supplying and exporting this since last more than 15 years. We are supplying to various science labs and Pharmaceutical Companies who are very much quality conscious. We are successfully fullfilling the demand and day by day improving our products so as to reach the state of perfection.
Exact size cut plates for water activated Magnesium-Cuprous Chloride and Magnesium Silver Chloride batteries and cylinderical or rectangular empty Magnesium shells for Magnesium dry batteries in 0.3 mm to 1 mm thickness
These plates or sheets are used in automobile or other industries.
High-grade specialty corrosion resistant precision plates specifically manufactured to match technical compliance standards for Cummins diesel systems.
Magnesium Metal Powder or Dust of all the Mesh Sizes and all the Specfication can be supplied as and how desired by the buyer.
