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 1...

The formation of dolomite is very challenging in the laboratory under ambient conditions due to kinetic inhibition. goal this study was test impact pH cycling and zinc ions on magnesium-rich carbonates saline fluids at a low temperature. Batch reactor experiments were conducted two series experiments, one without with ions, 43 °C. results after 36 diel cycles indicate reaction product assemblag...

Hydromagnesite occurrences in British Columbia have been recognized since the beginning of the 19th century (Reinecke, 1920; Young, 1915). However, the known occurrences of hydromagnesite are too small to compete with the large sparry magnesite deposits in British Columbia (Grant, 1987; Simandl et al., 1996 a,b and Simandl, 2000) as potential sources of raw materials for the production of indus...
