Abstract

The process developed in the UK to produce magnesium hydroxide from seawater is described, together with the heat treatment that the hydroxide receives to produce the active oxide. Some of the characteristics required of the dolomite used in the process are also discussed. Impurities introduced by the seawater are noted and the means by which they can be reduced explained.
