Magnesium from sea water was first obtained on an industrial scale during the Second World War in Britain, which has its own reserves on land. This method was applied at the same time in the U.S. and has been so affective that superseded all other methods of producing magnesium, at least in coastal states. Now he’s getting out of seawater is practiced in many countries and is about a quarter of total world production of this metal.

In the critical importance of sea water as the mineral has repeatedly stated in his works the world-famous creator of the periodic law of chemical elements – Dmitri Ivanovich Mendeleyev. In seawater containing different amounts of virtually all naturally occurring chemical elements, and the volume of ocean water is so great that makes populations of many substances is practically inexhaustible. According to scientific estimates, the cost of the chemical elements contained in 1 km 3 of water in the oceans, is estimated at $ 1 billion. It is not only a treasure, a Superkleen! At present, sea water extracted only very small quantities of chemicals. This is due to the complexity of the composition of ocean water, with a very low content of valuable substances per unit volume and the imperfect level of extraction technology.That 's really true: seeing eye, a tooth is itching to do so. In the world of the serpent of many patents issued for various elements (iodine, potassium, calcium, gold, silver, etc.) of seawater. However, industrial scale is removed until only the salt (which we use in writing), magnesium, bromine and … freshwater.
