From Inheriting A Small Iron Mine To A Resource Tycoon

Chapter 189

There are two methods of extracting magnesium ore, one is mineral extraction and the other is seawater extraction.

Yes, it is extracted from sea water.

Since this island country has no mines, and Qi Yang needs a reason, the best reason is naturally to build a magnesium factory.

Magnesium ore is extracted from seawater.

In this island country where the land is extremely cheap, Polar Mining purchased an island to specialize in extracting magnesium chloride from seawater.

This thing still makes sense.

After all, magnesium still has some value.

Magnesium is a commonly used reducing agent, which can replace titanium, zirconium, uranium, plating and other metals.

It is an essential thing in the manufacture of light metal alloys, ductile iron, scientific instruments and format reagents, etc.

Obviously, many subsidiaries of Polar Group can use magnesium ore.

In addition, magnesium can also be used to make many things, such as fireworks, flash powder, magnesium salts, getters, flares and so on.

Just because the structural properties of magnesium are similar to that of aluminum, it has various uses as a light metal, and can even be used as an alloy material for aircraft and missiles, so any amount of magnesium Qi Yang can be sold.

However, the only downside is that the ignition point of magnesium is very low, and it can burn at the ignition point of gasoline, which leads to a lot of fewer applications.

In fact, the use of magnesium is still very extensive.

As the lightest and one of the lightest structural metal materials, it also has the advantages of high specific strength and specific stiffness, good damping and machinability, and easy recycling. Magnesium alloys are used in the automobile industry at home and abroad to reduce weight, save energy, reduce pollution and improve the environment.

Compared with plastics, magnesium alloy has light weight, high specific strength, good vibration damping, good thermal fatigue performance, not easy to age, good thermal conductivity, strong electromagnetic shielding ability, very good die-casting process performance, especially easy to recycle It is a new generation of high-performance structural materials that can replace steel, aluminum alloys and engineering plastics.

In order to adapt to the development trend of high integration and miniaturization of electronic and communication devices, magnesium alloy is an ideal shell for products such as transportation, electronic information, communications, computers, audio-visual equipment, portable tools, motors, forestry, textiles, and nuclear power devices. Material. Developed countries attach great importance to the development and application of magnesium alloys, especially in the application of portable electronic products such as auto parts and notebook computers. The annual growth rate is 20%, which is very eye-catching and the development trend is amazing.

In addition, metal magnesium is the main alloying element in aluminum alloy, and the world’s annual demand is about 150,000 tons.

In addition, with the increasing demand for high-strength low-sulfur steel used in the automotive industry, oil and gas pipelines, offshore drilling platforms, bridge construction and other fields, Qi Yang’s polar metallurgy

Large quantities of magnesium may also be required for metallurgy in the future.

In addition, the refining of magnesium chloride can actually damage the environment more or less.

Therefore, refining on this small island has a little benefit for the Celestial Dynasty.

After this period of transformation, the entire island has almost been turned over.

In a few days, this place will become the largest magnesium ore factory in the world.

The world’s largest magnesium production base.

Near the island, there are many reefs, and Qi Yang asked people to connect them with dams.

Although the renovation of the island cost one billion yuan, Qi Yang believes that the factory will be able to earn back all the investment in a few days.

Remember, seawater contains about 12 billion pounds of magnesium per cubic mile.
