A magnesium crushing and screening plant is an industrial facility that processes magnesium-bearing minerals such as magnesite (MgCO₃) and dolomite (CaMg(CO₃)₂) to make them suitable for various industrial applications.

Stages of Magnesium Crushing and Screening Plant

  1. Raw Material Intake and Transport: Extracted from open-pit or underground mines, transported to the processing facility.
  2. Pre-Screening: Removal of large rocks and impurities.
  3. Crushing Process: Reduction of raw material size using jaw, cone, impact, or roll crushers.
  4. Screening: Classification into different particle sizes.
  5. Magnetic and Chemical Separation (Optional): Removal of unwanted elements.
  6. Grinding (Optional): Further reduction to fine powder.
  7. Storage and Transport: Prepared for industrial use.

Applications of Magnesium Crushing and Screening Plants

  • Metallurgy: Used in magnesium alloys and steel production.
  • Refractories: Used in high-temperature bricks.
  • Construction: Used in cement and concrete.
  • Chemical Industry: Used in the production of magnesium oxide and sulfate.
  • Agriculture: Used as a soil conditioner and fertilizer.
  • Pharmaceuticals: Used in magnesium-based medications.
