Magnesium is the ninth most abundant element in the universe by mass. It is plentifully available in the seawater (~ 0.13%) and earth’s crust (constitutes around 2.4%). Because of its strong reactivity, it does not occur in the native state, but rather it is found in a wide variety of compounds in seawater, natural brines, and rocks. By far the largest source is the oceans, though seawater consists of only about 0.13 % magnesium, it represents an almost inexhaustible source. Additionally, magnesium alloys are easily recyclable at low-energy costs without environmental pollution.
