Epsom Salts Monorail however, is inside the Death Valley National Park and accessible via the Fort Irwin Army Base near Tecopa. The sidings of the Trona Railway can be reached by an unsurfaced track from California Highway 178. If carriages are parked on the sidings, these are easy to spot. There are some concrete foundations and ruins of houses in the area. Epsom Salts Monorail The Epsom Salts Monorail or Magnesium Monorail was a short-lived Lartigue Monorail in San Bernardino County, California, in the United States. It was built to carry epsomite (hydrated magnesium sulphate) from a deposit in the Owlshead Mountains to
Magnesium silicide in the interior of the unit cell. The coordination numbers of Si and Mg are eight and four, respectively. Magnesium silicide Magnesium silicide, MgSi, is an inorganic compound consisting of magnesium and silicon. It can be produced by heating silicon dioxide, SiO, found in sand, with excess magnesium. The process first forms silicon metal and magnesium oxide, and, if an excess of magnesium is used, the silicide is formed: If an excess of Mg is present, MgSi is formed from the reaction of the remaining magnesium with the silicon: These reactions proceed exothermically. Magnesium silicide is used to create aluminium
