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.

Desulphurization of an iron melt

The corrosion of aqueous heavy pulps which contain ferrosilicon with between 8 and 20 weight % of silicon as a heavy medium and are used in the heavy media separation of minerals is inhibited. To this end, the heavy pulp is used in admixture with between 0.1 and 0.8 weight % of a carboxy-alkane-phosphonic acid of the following formulae: ##STR1## in which R stands for hydrogen or alkyl having from 1 to 4 carbon atoms, or ##STR2##

Process for inhibiting the corrosion of heavy pulps for heavy media

The invention provides the use of an iron/silicon/phosphorus-alloy containing between 8 and 25 weight % of silicon and between 0.3 and 2.5 weight % of phosphorus as heavy medium for making heavy pulps for the heavy media separation of minerals.
