Abstract [en]
The present authors have utilized, for the first time, H3BO3 as an additive in pilot scale experiments of Mg production using Pidgeon process. The results from the experiments revealed positive effects of H3BO3 on both quantity and quality of the Mg metal crowns. Besides acting as a catalyzer for MgO reduction, H3BO3 stabilized also β-Ca2SiO4 in the Mg slag. Based on these results, H3BO3 may be adopted as an innovative additive replacing fluorite in the Mg production, to enhance sustainability and environmental soundness for the Pidgeon process in China.
