Abstract: Production history and present status of magnesium oxide and magnesium hydroxide from brine and seawater by synthetic processes were reviewed and discussed.Typically producers,such as Nedmag (Dutch),Martin Marietta (USA),Premier (USA),and Dead Sea Periclase (Israel),as well as their R & D trends and technologies,such as brine-dolomite method,sea-lime precipitation transformation method,and magnesium chloride pyrolysis process,were introduced.Finally,development prospect of magnesium oxide and magnesium hydroxide by synthetic processes were predicted.

Key words: magnesium oxide, magnesium hydroxide, synthetic processes, brine
