Magnesium Oxide (Direct Method) is widely used in the following industries:
1.Construction Materials:
Production of magnesium-based cement and refractory materials.
2.Agriculture:
Soil amendment and pH adjustment in acidic soils.
3.Rubber & Plastics:
As a filler and reinforcement agent in rubber compounds.
4.Chemicals:
Used as a raw material for producing magnesium salts.
5.Environmental:
Water treatment and flue gas desulfurization.
6.Ceramics:
Used in high-temperature ceramic and glass production.
The direct method involves the calcination of natural magnesite ore at high temperatures. The ore undergoes thermal decomposition to release carbon dioxide, leaving behind magnesium oxide. The production process ensures high reactivity, low impurities, and consistent particle size distribution.
Reaction Equation:
Magnesium Oxide exhibits a strong affinity for moisture and carbon dioxide, forming magnesium hydroxide or magnesium carbonate upon reaction. This makes it an effective material for applications requiring reactivity and absorption capabilities. Its thermal stability and basic nature also allow it to function as a refractory and neutralizing agent.
