Enrichment of Magnesite and Usage to Obtain Magnesium Fluoride

Magnesium is the sixth most abundant element, constituting 2% of total mass earth's crust. It a metal that exists only in chemical compounds, and generally exits carbonate oxide forms. The important mineral forms are magnesite (MgCO3), dolomite (MgCO3.CaCO3) carnallite (KCl.MgCl2-6H2O). metal, which obtained from different sources by various methods, has an place industry. There approximately 16 billion tons 110 million reserves Turkey. aim this study to investigate use idle magnesium clay raw material (in Eski?ehir) for production fluoride thus propose process relevant For experiments, 10 kg sample was taken after whole ground 75 µm size, XRF, XRD DTA analyzes were performed. As result XRF analysis, it determined contains 44.28% MgO. with MgCO3 structure, also chlorite group structures. MgF2 using HF material, efficiency higher experiments performed magnesite.
