A.N. Smirnov, V.S. Velikanov, I.A. Grishin, A.V. Masalimov

The authors have analyzed methods of recovery of high-quality product from magnesite processing wastes. They have chosen a reprocessing method for magnesite thermomechanical treatment wastes, and developed the technology based on a bicarbonate method of chemical processing and provided rationale for its application.

Key words: magnesite ore, chemical processing, magnesium carbonate, solution, residue, bicarbonate method, semicarbonate method, magnesia
