HEAVY MAGNESIUM OXIDE

HEAVY MAGNESIUM OXIDE

Heavy magnesium oxide is a versatile material with a wide range of industrial and pharmaceutical applications. In the pharmaceutical industry, heavy magnesium oxide is used as an antacid and as a laxative. It is also used in the production of animal feed as a source of magnesium for livestock.

Technical Specifications:

Heavy magnesium oxide is non-toxic and non-hazardous, making it safe to handle and use. It has a high melting point of 2,852 °C and is highly resistant to chemical and physical degradation. It is insoluble in water and most acids, but can react with strong acids to form magnesium salts.

Heavy magnesium oxide, also known as magnesia or magnesite, is a white powder that is primarily composed of magnesium and oxygen. Its chemical formula is MgO, and it has a molecular weight of 40.31 g/mol. 

It is produced by calcining magnesium carbonate or magnesium hydroxide.

Heavy magnesium oxide has a wide range of industrial applications, including as a refractory material in the construction of high-temperature furnaces and as a component in the production of various metals and alloys. 

It is also used in the production of magnesium compounds such as magnesium chloride, magnesium sulphate, and magnesium hydroxide.
