Pure Magnesium does not occur in nature. Various minerals contain

magnesium compounds and must go through certain procedures to create this

metal. These elements are mainly carnallite, dolomite, and magnesite.

Magnesium is produced through the Dow process, the Electrolysis process,

and/or the Silicothermic process. (See diagram 1) The most common process

used out of these is the Dow process, which transfers into the Electrolysis

process. This procedure begins by obta
