This open access book introduces the magnesium resources in the world and the layout of this industry, the harmless handling/recycling of magnesium slag, and the process of magnesium silicothermic reduction (Pidgeon process) to produce the slag. Examples and experimental data in this book are from the author group's research programs, as well as the recent researches in China. The book could provide precious reference to scientists and engineers in the field of recycling and environment friendly use of the industrial solid wastes. It could also be used for researchers and students who are interested in relevant field.

Provides the latest research results of magnesium slag harmless treatment and recycling in the solid waste field Explains the method of magnesium melting by fluoride-free mineralizers instead of fluorite, which is an innovative discovery of the author's group. Enriches the book contents with practical examples and experimental processes This book is open access, which means that you have free and unlimited access
