| Zusammenfassung: | Magnesium metal is produced by electrolysis of magnesium chloride employing a high surface area anode, for example, a porous anode to which hydrogen gas is fed. Hydrogen chloride is formed from the chloride ions at the anode, rather than chlorine gas; the process also has the advantage of operating at a lower voltage with a lower energy requirement than the conventional process in which chlorine gas is generated at the anode. |
