Granular compositions containing pulverulent magnesium are made by blending the pulverulent magnesium ingredient with the desired other ingredient(s). To this end, a premix is formed by mixing, in a first stage, the pulverulent magnesium with the other ingredient(s) in a ratio by weight of 4:1 to 1:19; and intimately mixing this pre-mix, in a second stage, with further proportions of said other ingredient(s) giving a total ratio by weight of 1:799 to 1:19.

Production of granular compositions containing pulverulent magnesium

An iron melt is desulphurized. To this end, the irom melt is admixed with a powder mixture comprising metallic magnesium and at least one calcium compound, the latter being selected from calcium carbide, calcium oxide, calcium carbonate and dolomite, and the said calcium compound being used in the form of particles with a size of 0.06 to 3 mm, wherein the powder mixture contains 0.1 to 2.5 weight % of metallic magnesium in the form of particles having a size of 0.060 to 0.095 mm.
