Systematic kinetic study of magnesium production using magnesium oxide and carbonic materials at different temperatures

Abstract The main goal of this study was to determine the industrially best reductant for reduction of magnesium oxide to magnesium with wood charcoal and petroleum coke (petcoke) each in molar ratio 1:1 and 1:2 (oxidant:reductant) at high temperatures. In this study, a new and reliable combination...
