Pidgeon Process - an overview ScienceDirect Topics

The Pidgeon process is batch-type process and it is suitable for small-scale and labor-intensive production. The process has an economic advantage in China, mainly because of China’s low labor costs. Currently, most magnesium metal is produced by batch-type metallothermic reduction processes such as the Pidgeon process.

Thermodynamic study of magnesium (Mg) production by

2024年1月10日  The Pidgeon process is a thermal reduction process that extracts magnesium from calcined dolomite (MgOCaO), in which the ferrosilicon (FeSi) is adopted as a reducing agent, and a small quantity (0.3–2 %) of calcium fluoride (CaF 2) is added as a catalyst which can promote the MgO reduction [4]. After mixing in a certain proportion, finely ...

Comparative evaluation of energy and resource

2022年3月1日  This study quantified the flows of resource and energy for the Pidgeon process and the VCTRM process, then compared and analyzed these two processes with each other from three aspects. The VCTRM process results in 63.14% and 69.16% lower of non-renewable mineral resources and energy consumptions when compared to the Pidgeon process,

Global warming impact of the magnesium produced in

2004年8月1日  Nearly 95% of the primary magnesium output of China (Zang, 2001) is produced using the Pidgeon process (Pidgeon and Alexander, 1944) that was invented in the 1940s in Canada. Magnesium production is energy intensive, and environmental issues play a significant role in driving the demand for magnesium, magnesium alloys, components and products.

Magnesium research and applications: Past, present and future

2023年11月1日  The production process used in China is a silicothermic reduction process called Pidgeon process, originally developed by a Canadian chemist Lloyd Pidgeon. This is a batch process in which dolomite (Ca,Mg)CO 3 is finely powdered and calcined, as shown in Reaction (1), mixed with ferrosilicon (Fe,Si) and briquetted, and then charged in retorts ...

Mechanism of solid–liquid reaction in magnesium smelting

2024年5月1日  Above 1028 °C, the process involves a solid–liquid reaction in the pellet during primary magnesium production by the silicothermic process under vacuum. The reaction begins with the surface of solid silicon particles reacting with CaO in the contact dolime to form liquid silicocalcium on the silicon particle surfaces.

Numerical study of magnesium (Mg) production by the

2013年4月1日  The Pidgeon process has advantages of producing high purity magnesium as well as simple operation and low investment cost. It is also anticipated to be the main technique for producing high purity magnesium in future. However, the Pidgeon process in china is of intensive energy use and intensive labor operation [5]. Recent years, new ...

Mechanism of slag pellets sticking on the wall of reduction

2024年6月1日  During silicothermic reduction process, iron may be oxidized to FeO, Fe 3 O 4, or Fe 2 O 3 at high temperature. Whether FeO and Fe 2 O 3 can cause liquid phase in glaze block at Pidgeon process temperature can be explained by SiO 2-CaO-FeO system and SiO 2-CaO-Fe 2 O 3 system. Fig. 4 e shows the ternary phase diagram of SiO 2-CaO-FeO system.

2010年1月1日  The Pidgeon process has an intensive energy usage and generates a large amount of GHG emissions. For each kilogram of Mg produced by Pidgeon process, the GHG emissions and energy usage would be 27 kg CO2eq and 280 MJ, which are five times more than steel production. Although recycled Mg can reduce more than 90% of GHG emissions and
