A bstract The status of olivine as a source of magnesian materials is briefly reviewed and a convenient cyclic process for extracting its values by use of hydrochloric acid is recommended. Magnesia for refractories, cements, insulation, and fertilizers is proposed as the end product instead of the customary magnesium chloride for use in electrolytic cells. Economic reasons justifying this recommendation are given.
