Abstract
Today a significant portion of the world magnesia supply is produced by approximately 20 manufacturers by precipitation of magnesium hydroxide either from seawater or brine sources, which amounts to about 14% of the world magnesia production. The first synthetic magnesia production occurred along the French coast of the Mediterranean Sea, near Aiques-Mortes, operating sometime before 1885. Magnesium hydroxide was precipitated from seawater by reacting it with milk of lime in a continuous fashion using three sequential agitated reactors. Because of the abundance of brine resources enrich in Magnesium in our country, in this project, was tried to precipitate Magnesium Hydroxide from brine...
