Light Magnesium Oxide and it's Applications

Light magnesium oxide is produced via lower temperature calcination of magnesium carbonate or magnesium hydroxide. The lower calcination temperature causes the calcined magnesia to have a lower density, so it is considered ‘light’ compared to the denser high temperature calcined magnesia in heavy magnesium oxide. Light magnesium oxide derives its utility from its caustic nature when reacted with other metals, and for its higher potential for electrical conductivity. Light magnesium oxide is used primarily in applications that do not have restrictions on its overall mass, as its lower density means that it is more difficult to collect any significant mass of magnesium oxide in a container. However, despite its fluffier nature, light magnesium oxide is ideal for use in water treatment applications. Specifically, light magnesium oxide is used for extracting heavy metal contaminants from drinking and wastewater due to its higher reactivity and larger overall surface area. By and large though, heavy magnesium oxide is preferred for industrial and manufacturing use, particularly where space is at a premium such as concrete or wallboard manufacturing.

RahulMag Light burned magnesium oxide is obtained by firing magnesium hydroxide at low temperature. It has fine particles and excellent reactivity, so it is used as a surface treatment agent and a ceramic raw material. Rahul Magnesia Private Limited manufacturers light magnesium oxide by making full use of our firing technology that has been cultivated over many years and by using high-quality materials. To respond to various demands from our customers, RahulMag offers products with a wide variety of reactivity, particle size and purity.

Magnesium oxide may be employed in the synthesis of bimetallic Co-Mo catalysts supported on different catalyst supports. These catalysts were used for single-walled carbon nanotube synthesis. It may be employed as a phase stabilizer during the fabrication of porous?-tricalcium phosphate. Lithium-doped magnesium oxide may be employed for the synthesis of ethylene and ethane. It may also be used as a catalyst in the preparation of (R)-phenyl carbonate.

Light Magnesium Oxide grades manufactured by RahulMag are used as:

• Additive for plastics
• Sintering additive for ceramics
• Raw materials for castable refractories
• Raw materials for ceramics
• Raw materials for Surface treatment agents
• Raw materials for electronic materials

Light magnesium oxide is mainly used for rubber products and neoprene adhesive production, in the manufacture of rubber from the acid absorption agent magnesium accelerator effect, curing the crosslinking effect in neoprene adhesives, retarders and resin chelation. Played the role of magnesium in reducing the sintering temperature ceramics and enamels.

In the wheel, the manufacture of paint as a filler, in medicine as an antacid and laxative for the treatment of hyperacidity, gastric and duodenal ulcer disease, in food processing as a brightener or refined sugar bleaching agent. The greatest use in agriculture and livestock manure is used as feed, the metabolism of plants and animals are the main elements that are used to feed the cows, prevents a neurological dysfunction caused by magnesium deficiency. In addition it can be used for glass, steel, dyeing agents, electronic industry, insulation materials industry and petroleum additives, foundry, phenolics and other industries.

RahulMag is a leading exporter of Calcined Magnesium Oxide, Light Magnesium Oxide and Magnesium Hydroxide provide quality magnesium grades across all the continents mainly.
