      Magnesium is a widespread and abundant element. Magnesium chloride and magnesium sulfate are present in dissolved form in seawater and underground brines—these sources accounted for 43 percent of U.S. magnesium compound production in 2008. Magnesium is also found in many minerals, notably magnesite (MgCO3), dolomite (CaMg (CO3)2), and brucite (Mg(OH)2). China, Russia, Israel, Kazakhstan, Canada, and Brazil are among the main producers. For a number of years, the United States has withheld its magnesium production statistics to avoid disclosure of companies’ proprietary data.
