Hello,
I was researching refining techniques for magnesium from dolomite ore, and it seems like the pidgeon process and electrolytic methods are about the only two ways to refine metal magnesium. I was just looking to see if anyone has ever tried refining magnesium from dolomite ore at home?
I saw an article about a modified pidgeon process that uses microwave energy on ferrosilicon and calcined dolomite briquettes. Any advice on magnesium refining would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you,
Tyler
