Wilhelm Portz

Title: Wilhelm Portz and His Contributions to Magnesium-Based Processes.

Introduction

Wilhelm Portz is an inventor associated with Erftstadt, Germany. His patent work includes methods for producing granular compositions containing pulverulent magnesium and for desulphurizing iron melts. The available information lists 4 patents for him.

Latest Patents

One of Portz’s latest patents describes the production of granular compositions containing pulverulent magnesium. The method first blends the magnesium powder with other ingredients to form a premix, using a weight ratio of 4:1 to 1:19. The premix is then intimately mixed with additional quantities of the other ingredients until the overall weight ratio reaches 1:799 to 1:19.

Another patent concerns desulphurization of an iron melt. It describes adding a powder mixture containing metallic magnesium and at least one calcium compound, selected from calcium carbide, calcium oxide, calcium carbonate, or dolomite. The calcium compound is used as particles measuring 0.06 to 3 millimeters, while the mixture contains 0.1 to 2.5 percent metallic magnesium in particles measuring 0.060 to 0.095 millimeters.
