The invention discloses a device for production of
magnesium by a
thermite process. The device comprises a
vacuum induction furnace, a vacuumizing device and a condensation collecting
system. A feeding
system is arranged at the top of the
vacuum induction furnace, a residue collecting
system is arranged at the bottom of the
vacuum induction furnace, the condensation collecting system comprises a condensation
pipe and a collecting tank, the first end of the condensation
pipe communicates with the vacuum
induction furnace, and the second end of the condensation
pipe communicates with the collecting tank. During
magnesium production, raw materials for
magnesium production are first filled in the vacuum
induction furnace through the feeding system, then the vacuum
induction furnace is vacuumized by means of the vacuumizing device, the vacuum induction furnace is heated to the
reaction temperature, magnesium oxides are reduced to produce magnesium vapor, the produced magnesium vapor is cooled by the condensation pipe and conveyed to the collecting tank for condensation, after the reduction reaction is over, waste
slag in the vacuum induction furnace can be discharged from the bottom through a
slag collecting system, feeding and deslagging are easy and convenient, time and labor are saved, and the efficiency is high. The invention further discloses a magnesium production process forproducing magnesium by using the device for production of the magnesium by the
thermite process.
