Abstract

606,641. Magnesium. SCIENTIFIC & INDUSTRIAL RESEARCH, HONORARY ADVISORY COUNCIL FOR. Sept. 8, 1942, No. 12669. Convention date, Feb. 5. [Class 82(i)] Apparatus for the production of magnesium by thermal reduction of magnesiacontaining material with ferro-silicon comprises a furnace, a plurality of metal retorts horizontally disposed with a reducing portion within the furnace and a condensing portion without the furnace, a removable condenser for collecting magnesium within the condensing zone of each retort and having at its outer end direct thermal contact with the wall of the retort, means for water-cooling the retort wall adjacent said thermal contact, and separate means within said water-cooled zone of the retort for collecting and removing sodium or other pyrophoric metal independently of the magnesium. The thermal contact may comprise a narrow metal band 8, Fig. 2, between the condenser 7 and the retort wall 4; or may comprise a closure plate 11b, Fig. 4, for the condenser 7, and said plate may have broadened shoulders 21 engaging the condenser and the retort wall 4. Specifications 606,636, 606,637, 606,639 and 606,640 are referred to.
