Malliprosessien

Malliprosessien, also known as the Malli process, is a method of producing metallic magnesium from its oxide. It was developed by Finnish scientist Carl Magnus von Wulff in 1890. The process involves the electrolysis of molten magnesium chloride, which is derived from magnesium oxide. The magnesium oxide is first converted into magnesium chloride through a chlorination reaction with carbon at high temperatures. The resulting magnesium chloride is then electrolyzed in a molten state to produce pure magnesium metal and chlorine gas as a byproduct. The Malli process is notable for its efficiency and the high purity of the magnesium it produces. It has been widely used in the production of magnesium and its alloys, which are used in various applications, including aerospace, automotive, and electronics. The process has also been adapted for the production of other metals, such as calcium and barium.
