ABSTRACT:
A continuous process for extracting magnesium from compounds containing magnesium oxides is disclosed. In the past such processes have been batch type processes with oxides placed in a crucible of a furnace. The process comprises the steps of mixing magnesium oxide and an alkaline earth metal oxide with a reducing agent, compressing the mixture into briquettes, feeding the briquettes onto a conveying means, heating the briquettes uniformally on the conveying means under controlled pressure to vaporize the magnesium, and condensing the vaporized magnesium on a cooled surface.
