Abstract: In order to short reduction period, decrease energy consumption, lower labour intensity, come into continuous operation and automobile control during the production of magnesium (Mg) reduction, a kind of vertical and fast reduction Mg furnace, heated by the inner-multiple-electrode, was developed, which is comprised of two condenses, a vertical furnace, a vacuum system, and several chambers. After the numerical simulation and experimental analysis, the novel vertical magnesium reduction furnace presents obviously several stronger merits over the high alloy pots used in horizontal Pidgeon process, therefore, the new vertical furnace will possible take the place of the horizontal pots in further Mg industry.
