Abstract

A method of making sized refractory spheroids of magnesium oxide having consistent electrical resistance properties directly from particulate magnesium ore without crust and substantially free from contaminates by feeding particulate magnesium ore from a supply reservoir into a plasma zone of a plasma generator capable of melting particulate solids from the outside inwardly. The melted particles of the refractory magnesium ore are collected directly from the plasma zone in individual particulate and substantially spherical forms.
