Summary

The magnesium (Mg) production source category is defined as consisting of any process where Mg metal is produced through smelting (including electrolytic smelting), refining, or remelting operations (including primary production facilities that extract Mg from its ore and secondary production facilities that recover Mg from scrap), or any process where molten Mg is used in alloying, casting, drawing, extruding, forming, or rolling operations.
