Description
Summary:Production equipment layout is described for a three-vessel evaporation unit fitted with descending film equipment. The device is intended for concentrating magnesium chloride solution before carnallite synthesis, from which magnesium metal is subsequently prepared by electrolysis. Engineering properties of the equipment, composition of the starting and evaporated solutions, and also the planned operating regime are noted. Features of the bahavior of magnesium chloride solution, which should be considered for provision of successful operation without crystallization of salts within it, are mentioned.
