ABSTRACT:
A process is provided for the production of magnesium from magnesium oxide, generally in the form of calcined dolomite, in which magnesium vapor is produced in a heated reaction zone from solid reactants fed substantially continuously to such reaction zone. The solid reactants include a reductant and optionally a slag forming agent, preferably ferrosilicon and alumina respectively. The reaction zone is heated by a thermal plasma, the electrical current of which includes the furnace bath as an integral part of it. The plasma forming gas is preferably argon.
