Product Introduction
Magnesium Oxide (MgO) is an inorganic compound . It is a white, hygroscopic solid derived from natural magnesite or synthesized through calcination. MgO is widely used in industrial, agricultural, and environmental applications due to its high thermal stability, alkaline properties, and low solubility in water.
Product Features
High Purity: Typical MgO content ≥ 90% (up to 93.25% on ignited basis).
Physical Forms: Powder, light brown to white granules, or free-flowing low-dust particles.
Thermal Stability: Melting point at 2,852°C, boiling point at 3,600°C.
Low Solubility: Insoluble in water but reactive with acids.
Safety: Non-hazardous under normal handling (per MSDS).
Applications
Industrial: Refractory materials, ceramics, cellulose production, and water treatment.
Agriculture: Animal feed additive (improves magnesium intake), fertilizer component.
Environmental: pH adjustment in wastewater, heavy metal removal.
Other Uses: Dietary supplements, fireproofing agent, and chemical intermediate.
Storage
Conditions: Store in tightly closed containers in a dry, well-ventilated place.
Sensitivity: Hygroscopic; protect from moisture and air exposure.
Incompatibilities: Avoid strong acids (e.g., HCl) and oxidizers (e.g., phosphorous pentachloride).
