Historical and economical importances

After the post-war period, DOW produced Magnesium because of it's great characteristics.

In World War 1, it was applied to various weapons, such as "Star Shell"

Related with Synthesis

Several methods can be applied for the synthesis of Magnesium to occurr.

The synthesis of Magnesium oxide nanoparticles (example) can be achieved through various approaches including:

green synthesis techniques

ultrasonic methods

sol-gel process

solution combustion method

co-precipitation method

Mining

Can be find in China, Australia, Turkey, Brazil and the USA.

Magnesium is obtained by regular and ordinary mines

Medical Applications

It's used in the Pharmaceutical ambit in treatments for:

Can be given in laxatives and antiacids

pre-eclampsia

Magnesium deficency

Indigestion

Constipation

Magnesium is used in Radiation Therapy to cure specific cancers such as colorectal cancer.

It is used in Diagnostic Imaging because of it causing less distortions in magnetic resonances

This element is used in many "medical applications", such as:

Pharmaceutical Uses

Radiation Therapy

Diagnostic Imaging

Metallurgy

Magnesium is utilized as a reducing agent for:

as an additive in alloys in this process.

Refractory metals

This process plays an important role in many sectors, such as:

Automobiles

Aviation

Aerospacial

Metallurgy: The process of extraction of metal in its purest form.

Isotopes

Each type of Isotope has specific and idiosyncratic properties that makes them:

Exploitable in any ambit.

Some of this Isotopes can be used in different fields, such as spectroscopy.

Magnesium has three Isotopes:

26Mg (11.01% abundance)

25Mg (10% abundance)

24Mg (78.99% abundance)

Magnesium's Contribution to Scientific Knowledge

Has helped to develop many fields such as Biochemistry, Medicine, Chemistry and Enviroment

Importance of Magnesium in Various Fields

It's also used in fireworks as it can light sparks

Can be also used in Molten State

Products that involve Magnesium in it's production are:

Power tools

Cameras

Laptops

Luggage

Car seats

Bonus Facts

Global Production Trade

Magnetical Properties

Abundance and Biological Importance

Reactivity and Combustibility

Electromagnetic shielding and versatility

Strong

Light weight

Magnesium is and has:

Labor practices and conditions in the mining of Magnesium

It can also bring fatigue and many air-related diseases

Can be also mined with the open-cut method, but it brings many problems

They can often cause problems such as worker safety, health hazards and labor right issues.

Monopolies

USA has globally regulated it's trade

It is the 718th most traded product

Disputation

USA AND EU Dispute with China, they argument they have a control over Magnesium's global production

If China wanted, they could stop globally Magnesium's production

China owns more than 70% of the world's total Monopoly, making it having a monopoly

Importance In Science

Without Magnesium, studies wouldn't be advancing so much as Magnesium "brings out the light".

It also imporoves Glucose consumption

Magnesium is very important as it brings over 300 enzymatic reactions

Electronics

Magnesium also dispates the heat generated by electronic circuits.

It also has good mechanical and electrical properties

Magnesium is used to manufacture electronic devices and electronics because of its light weight.

Catalysts

Definition:

Substance that enables chemical reactions to proceed at a usually faster rate or under different conditions.

Used in many sectors such as:

Also acts as a reducing agent.

Pyrotechnics

Production of light alloys

Magnesium’s Catalysts

Play an important role in catalyzing chemical reactions.

Catalyst: A substance that enables chemical reactions to proceed at a usually faster rate or under different conditions.
