Magnesium Oxide Powder

Magnesium oxide is a traditional raw material for use in a wide range of products, e.g. Refractory, paints, paper, plastics, rubber, oil, pharmaceutical, fertilizer, animal feed, additive in superconductor products, waste treatment agent for neutralizing acids or cleaning water and as a catalyst material. Most commercial mgo powders are synthesized by the calcinations of forms of mg(oh)2, such as brucite or precipitate from sea water, and thermal decomposition of mgco3, such as magnesite. In such powders, the primary particles remain aggregated, usually in a shape similar to that of the precursor compound. The calcination at higher temperature destroys the agglomeration due to the propagation of cracks resulting in the formation of finely dispersed powders.
