Silicothermic reduction of MgO using diode laser: Experimental and kinetic study

As a step toward realizing magnesium civilization, which needs a sustainable Mg production process, the reduction of MgO to Mg has been investigated. Direct diode laser (DDL) produces high power and continuous beam in tiny spots. The laser with energy density up to 83*105 W/cm2 is focused on MgO/Si...
