Abstract
The life cycle assessment method was used to investigate the energy consumption and environmental loading of magnesium production with Magnetherm technology and Pidgeon technology.Through analyzed,the result shows the energy consumption in Magnetherm technology only is 1/3 of those of magnesium in the Pidgeon technology.The greenhouse effect is the major contributor to the pollutants emission.Environmental loading of magnesium with Magnetherm technology is less than that of Pidgeon technology.
