MG4430 Light Burned Magnesium Oxide Powder

Lightly Calcined Magnesium Oxide Powder Description

Lightly calcined magnesium oxide powder is produced by firing magnesium hydroxide at low temperatures. It possesses a large surface area and has garnered interest as a promising candidate for adsorption materials.

In agriculture, MgO is used as a magnesium supplement in multi-nutrient fertilizers. In animal feed additives, MgO is recognised as an essential nutrient for sheep and cattle. Magnesium supplementation is necessary to prevent hypomagnesaemia (grass tetany) and milk fever (due to concurrent calcium deficiency) in cattle (and dairy cows) from calving until peak milk production. In the construction sector, MgO is used to manufacture industrial floors, building boards, and cement. Magnesium oxide boards or MgO boards represent an advanced construction material that outperforms traditional products based on wood, gypsum, and cement in every category. In the refractory industry, MgO serves as a refractory material for crucibles.

Lightly Calcined Magnesium Oxide Powder FAQs

Q1: What is lightly calcined magnesium oxide (MgO) powder?

Lightly calcined magnesium oxide (MgO) powder, also known as caustic calcined magnesia, is a fine, reactive powder obtained by calcining magnesite or magnesium hydroxide at relatively low temperatures (typically between 700°C and 1 000°C). This process yields a highly reactive form of magnesium oxide.

Q2: How is lightly calcined MgO powder produced?

Lightly calcined MgO powder is created by calcining magnesite (MgCO₃) or magnesium hydroxide (Mg(OH)₂) at temperatures between 700°C and 1 000°C. During this process, carbon dioxide or water is removed, resulting in a reactive form of magnesium oxide.

Q3: What is the difference between lightly calcined and dead burned MgO?

Lightly calcined MgO: Produced at lower temperatures (700°C-1 000°C), resulting in a highly reactive powder. Used for applications requiring high reactivity.

Dead burned MgO: Manufactured at higher temperatures (1 500°C-2 000°C), resulting in a dense, non-reactive material. Used in refractory and high-temperature applications.
