| | Magnesium oxide Usage And Synthesis |
| Chemical Properties |
Magnesium oxide is a typical alkaline earth metal oxide, chemical formula MgO. White powder, melting point 2852 ℃, boiling point 3600 ℃, the relative density of 3.58 (25 ℃). It is soluble in acid and ammonium salt solution. Its slow action with water can produce magnesium hydroxide. It can be dissolved in carbon dioxide aqueous solution to produce magnesium bicarbonate. In the air, it can gradually absorb moisture and carbon dioxide. Heating releases irritating fumes. Magnesite (MgCO3), dolomite (MgCO3 ? CaCO3) and seawater are the main raw materials for the production of magnesium oxide.
| | Production of Magnesium Oxide | Thermal decomposition of magnesite or dolomite generates magnesium oxide. Magnesium hydroxide precipitate is obtained first by treating seawater with hydrated lime; magnesium oxide is obtained by burning magnesium hydroxide. Alternatively, we can take the magnesium chloride lumps or brine after bromination as raw material during the comprehensive utilization of seawater; add sodium hydroxide or sodium carbonate to generate magnesium hydroxide or basic magnesium carbonate precipitation, and then burn to obtain magnesium oxide. At present, China mainly uses magnesite, dolomite, brine or halogen as raw material.
Magnesium oxide accounts for the largest amount of magnesium compounds, accounting for about 3/4 of the total magnesium industry. Magnesia made at temperatures below 900 ° C is light magnesia with low density, having large specific surface area and strong absorbability. Can be used as a catalyst, rubber filler and improve the performance of rubber accelerator. Mixing with magnesium chloride solution can make magnesia cement. It can also be used as flame retardant for building materials. It can be medically used as antacids and laxatives for the treatment of hyperacidity and stomach and duodenal ulcer disease, often combined with calcium carbonate easy to cause constipation. For animal feed additives and plant fertilizers. The light magnesium oxide obtained at 950 ~ 1050 ℃has high density with particle distribution having a certain range and being easier to hydrate.
Use it to react with the silica on the silicon steel surface at high temperature to produce magnesium silicate film-like product; it can be used as a silicon steel separator to prevent the sintering of silicon steel upon high-temperature sintering. The heavy magnesium oxide prepared at high temperature of 1500-1800 ℃ has high density, small specific surface area, be difficult to be decomposed by heat, has low chemical activity, not easily to react with acid and low hydration rate. It can be used as high temperature refractory materials and the binder during manufacturing refractory crucible and the furnace lining.
| | Application |
- Light magnesium oxide is used in ceramics, enamel, refractory crucible, refractory bricks, etc., also used as polishing agent, binder, paint and paper filler, neoprene accelerator, activator. In medicine, it can be used as antacids, laxatives, for the treatment of hyperacidity and duodenal ulcer disease, but also for glass, phenolic, plastics and other industries.
- Dead-roasted magnesium oxide, namely magnesite, has granular type and brick type, being widely used as the refractory materials of steel furnace, cement kiln and glass furnace.
- Alkaline granular refractory, mainly used for metal refining industry, with massive refractory for the furnace, or granular material for maintenance; Use spray, coating method to have it attached to the furnace wall in order to enhance the furnace fire resistance.
- Magnesium oxide produce a positive charge inside the water with most of the suspended material being negatively charged, acting absorption role, can improve the filtration effect.
| | Industrial production of light magnesium oxide | In the salinization industry of sea salt, it is mainly used of bitter brine, heavy brine and high temperature salt as raw materials to produce light magnesium carbonate or light magnesium oxide. Industrialized production methods include soda ash method, lime and carbon ammonia.
(1) Soda ash process include: 1. Ingredients 2. Reaction 3. Washing 4. Pyrolysis 5. Filter 6.Roasting 7. Crushed packaging. Soda ash production of light magnesium carbonate or light magnesium oxide has mature technology, higher product quality. However, consumption of soda ash, fresh water consumption is also large.
(2) Lime method uses lime milk instead of soda ash. Its reaction with magnesium chloride in brine to generate magnesium hydroxide, followed by carbonation using carbon dioxide gas, generating magnesium bicarbonate. When using the lime method, the sulfate in the brine should be minimized, otherwise large deposits of calcium sulphate are formed and mixed in the product. The advantage of this method is the use of lime instead of soda ash, reducing costs. The disadvantage is that the process and equipment is more complicated than soda ash method, and by-produces large number of CaCl2 solution to be managed.
(3) Raw materials of carbon ammonia method are the high concentrations of bitter brine, brine or salt immersion thick solution. Carbon ammonia used is ammonia bicarbonate, carbonized ammonia or sending ammonia and carbon dioxide gas directly into the brine, with carbon ammonia instead of soda ash being reacted with the magnesium chloride or magnesium sulfate in the brine to generate the corresponding magnesium carbonate. The reaction is as follows:
1. Brine containing MgCl2 and MgSO4 reacts with NH4HCO3 solution: MgCl2 + 2NH4HCO3 = Mg (HCO3) 2 + 2NH4Cl MgSO4 + 2NH4HCO3 = Mg (HCO3) 2+ (NH4) 2SO4
2. Directly send ammonia and carbon dioxide to the brine.
3. The generated MgCO3 • 3H2O and Mg (HCO3) 2 are subject to pyrolysis to generate alkaline magnesium carbonate: Mg (HCO3) 2 + 2H2O = MgCO3 • 3H2O + CO2 ↑ 5 {MgCO3.3H2O} = 4MgCO3.Mg H2O + CO2 ↑ + 10H2O
4. Alkaline magnesium carbonate is roasted to generate light magnesium oxide: 4MgCO3.Mg (OH) 2.4H2O = 5MgO + 4CO2 ↑ + 5H2O
Control of carbon ammonia process: 1. Raw material concentration and reaction temperature 2. Pyrolysis temperature; 3. Dehydration, washing and drying; 4. Roasting; 5. Mother liquor treatment.
Compared with the soda ash method, the production of light magnesium carbonate and light magnesium oxide by the carbon ammonia process is simple, the product has a high specific volume, and the supply channel of the ammonium bicarbonate is more and the cost is lower. However, the mother liquor evaporation and concentration process is of high energy consumption.
| | Toxicity | Magnesium oxide is mildly irritating to the conjunctiva and nasal mucosa. Vapors can cause ulcer disease. Dust can cause breathing problems, chest pain, coughing, diffusive interstitial fibrosis and emphysema. The maximum allowable concentration in the United States is 10 mg / m3.
| | Usage limit | FAO / WHO (1984): milk powder 10 g / kg; cream powder 1 g / kg (both limited for vending machines).
FDA, § 184.143l, 2000: use GMP as limit.
Japan limits its usage for adsorption.
| | Uses |
Magnesium oxide (MgO,1309-48-4) is used as a lining for steel furnaces, as a component in ceramics,
as food additives and pharmaceuticals, and to make strong window glass, fertilizers, paper,
and rubber manufacturing.
| | Description | Magnesium oxide (MgO), or magnesia, is a white hygroscopic solid mineral, often found as a powder, which occurs naturally as periclase and is a source of magnesium . It has an empirical formula of MgO and consists of a lattice of Mg2+ ions and O2? ions held together by ionic bonding. Magnesium oxide is only very slightly soluble in water but in aqueous media combines quickly with water to form magnesium hydroxide. The majority of magnesium oxide produced today is obtained from the calcination of naturally occurring minerals, magnesite, MgCO3, being the most common. Other important sources of magnesium oxide are seawater, underground deposits of brine and deep salt beds from which magnesium hydroxide [Mg(OH)2] is processed. In medicine, magnesium oxide can be used as an antacid to relieve heartburn, sour stomach, or acid indigestion, as a laxative for short-term, rapid emptying of the bowel (before surgery, for example) and as a mineral supplement used to prevent and treat low amounts of magnesium in the blood. Besides, magnesium oxide also has many nonmedicinal uses. Caustic calcined magnesia is used in a wide range of industrial applications e.g. plastics, rubber, adhesives and acid neutralization. Magnesium oxide with lower chemical activity can be used for fertilizers and animal feed. Dead-burned magnesia and finally fused magnesia can be used for a variety of refractory and electrical applications e.g. furnace lining, crucibles and fireproofing boarding. | | Chemical Properties | A very bulky, white powder known as light magnesium oxide or
a relatively dense, white powder known as heavy magnesium
oxide. Five g of light magnesium oxide occupies a volume of
approximately 40 to 50 mL, while 5 g of heavy magnesium oxide
occupies a volume of approximately 10 to 20 mL. It is practically
insoluble in water and is insoluble in alcohol. It is soluble in dilute
acids. | | Chemical Properties | Two forms of magnesium oxide exist: a bulky form termed light
magnesium oxide and a dense form termed heavy magnesium oxide.
The USP 32 and JP XV define both forms in a single monograph,
while the BP 2009 and PhEur 6.4 have separate monographs for
each form. For the heavy variety, 15 g has an apparent volume
before settling of not more than 60 mL; for the light variety, 15 g has
an apparent volume before settling of not more than 100mL as
defined by the BP 2009 and PhEur 6.4.
Both forms of magnesium oxide occur as fine, white, odorless
powders. Magnesium oxide possesses a cubic crystal structure,
though the BP 2009 and PhEur 6.4 describe the appearance of light
magnesium oxide as an amorphous powder. | | Chemical Properties | white or light grey powder | | Chemical Properties | Magnesium oxide forms a finely divided
white particulate dispersed in air. | | Physical properties | White ceramics, with a high
reflective index in the visible
and near-UV regions. Used as
linings in steel furnaces.
Crucible container for fluoride
melts. Very slowly soluble in
pure water but soluble in diluted
strong mineral acids. Exhibits
outstanding corrosion resistance
in liquid metals Mg, Li, and Na.
Readily attacked by molten
metals Be, Si, Ti, Zr, Nb, and Ta.
MgO reacts with water, CO2 , and diluted acids. Maximum service
temperature 2400°C.
Transmittance of 80% and
n=1.75 in IR region 7 to 300 μm. | | Uses | manufacture of refractory crucibles, fire bricks, magnesia cements and boiler scale compounds, "powdered" oils, casein glue. Reflector in optical instruments; white color standard. Insulator at low temp. | | Uses | Magnesium Oxide is a source of magnesium which functions as a
nutrient and dietary supplement. it exists as a bulky white powder
termed light magnesium oxide or as a dense white powder known as
heavy magnesium oxide. it is practically insoluble in water and is
insoluble in alcohol. | | Uses | MgO is an efficient moisture absorbent used by many
libraries for preserving books. It is also one of the raw
materials for making cement in dry process plants; specifically, Portland cement. If too much of MgO is
added, the cement may become expansive.
In medicine, magnesium oxide is used for relief of
heartburn and sore stomach, as an antacid, magnesium
supplement, and as a short-term laxative. It is also
used to improve symptoms of indigestion. Side effects
of magnesium oxide may include nausea and cramping. | | Uses | Absorbant for colorants prior to determination; preparation of Eschka's reagent. | | Production Methods | Magnesium oxide occurs naturally as the mineral periclase. It can be
manufactured by many processes. Limestone containing the mineral
dolomite is calcinated at high temperatures to produce dolime,
which then reacts with magnesium chloride-rich sea water to
produce magnesium hydroxide and calcium chloride.The
magnesium hydroxide is then calcinated to produce magnesium
oxide and water. In another process, mined magnesite (MgCO3) is
calcinated to produce magnesium oxide and carbon dioxide.
Purification methods include crushing and size separation, heavymedia heavymedia
separation, and froth flotation. Producing magnesium oxide
from sea water is a process that involves heating magnesium
chloride concentrated brine from the Dead Sea. The magnesium
chloride decomposes into magnesium oxide and hydrochloric
acid.Magnesium oxide may also be produced by the thermal
decomposition of magnesium chloride, magnesium sulfate, magnesium
sulfite, nesquehonite, and the basic carbonate
5MgO·4CO2·5H2O. Purification of the magnesium oxide produced
through thermal degradation is carried out by filtration or
sedimentation. | | Preparation | Magnesium
oxide is easily formed by burning magnesium
metal ribbon. Mg oxidizes and emits a bright white light,
rich in ultraviolet and hard to extinguish. Extreme care
must be taken if MgO is to be prepared by this method.
Magnesia is a white solid mineral that occurs naturally
as “Periclase” and is used as a source of magnesium
metal. Magnesium oxide is hygroscopic in nature and
care must be taken to protect it from moisture. It reacts
with water and forms the hydroxide:
MgO＋H2O→Mg(OH)2
However, this reaction can be reversed by heating it
to remove moisture. | | Definition | Two forms are produced,
one a light, fluffy material prepared by a relatively
low-temperature dehydration of the hydroxide, the
other a dense material made by high-temperature
furnacing of the oxide after it has been formed from
the carbonate or hydroxide. | | General Description | Finely divided white particulate dispersed in air. (Note: Exposure may occur when magnesium is burned, thermally cut, or welded upon.). | | Reactivity Profile | Phosphorus pentachloride and magnesium oxide react with brilliant incandescence [Mellor 8:1016. 1946-1947]. The oxide is incompatible with interhalogens such as bromine pentafluoride, etc. | | Hazard | Toxic by inhalation of fume. Upper respiratory tract irritant, and metal fume fever. Questionable carcinogen. | | Health Hazard | Magnesium oxide fume is an
irritant of the eyes and nose. | | Pharmaceutical Applications | Magnesium oxide is used as an alkaline diluent in solid-dosage
forms to modify the pH of tablets.It can be added to solid-dosage
forms to bind excess water and keep the granulation dry. In
combination with silica, magnesium oxide can be used as an auxiliary glidant. It is also used as a food additive and as an
antacid, either alone or in conjunction with aluminum hydroxide.
Magnesium oxide is additionally used as an osmotic laxative and a
magnesium supplement to treat deficiency states. | | Agricultural Uses | Magnesia is a term used for magnesium oxide (MgO).
Magnesite, caustic-calcium magnesite, dead-burned
magnesite and synthetic magnesite are also loosely used
as synonyms for magnesia. Magnesium oxide is used in agricultural applications for animal feed and fertilizer; in the United States, these applications represent about 20%–25% of the total annual caustic-calcined magnesia shipment. Magnesium serves as a structural part of the chlorophyll molecule, a compound necessary for plant photosynthesis. Without sufficient magnesium, either from the soil or from fertilizer application, plants can die. Grazing ruminants, such as cattle and sheep, require magnesium in their diet to guard ag ainst hypomagnesia, also known as grass tetany, a potentially fatal disease. | | Industrial uses | Magnesium oxide (MgO) is a synthetic mineralproduced in electric arc furnaces or by sinteringof amorphous powder (periclase). Refractoryapplications consume a large quantity of MgO.Both brick and shapes are fabricated at leastpartially of sintered grain for use primarily inthe metal-processing industries. Heating unitinsulation is another major application for periclase.Principal advantages of periclase are itsthermal conductivity and electrical resistivity atelevated temperatures.
Specialty crucibles and shapes also are fabricatedfrom MgO. These are used in pyrometallurgicaland other purifying processes for specialtymetals. Both slip-casting and pressingtechniques are employed to manufactureshapes.
Thermocouple insulation comprises stillanother outlet for periclase. Since most of thesego into nuclear applications, a high-purity productis required. MgO is also an important glazeconstituent.
Single crystals of MgO have received attentionbecause of their use in ductile ceramic studies.Extreme purity is required in this area. Periclasewindows are also of potential interest ininfrared applications because of their transmissioncharacteristics. | | Clinical Use | U.S. Pharmacopoeia (USP)-grade caustic-calcined magnesia can be used in pharmaceutical applications. In the food industry, caustic-calcined magnesia is used in sugar refining for neutralization of raw cane and beet juices and to reduce scaling in juice heaters, evaporators, juice lines, and other equipment.
| | Safety Profile | Inhalation of the fumes
can produce a febrile reaction and
leucocytosis in humans. Questionable
carcinogen with experimental tumorigenic
data. Violent reaction or ignition in contact
with interhalogens (e.g., bromine
pentafluoride, chlorine trifluoride),
Incandescent reaction with phosphorus
pentachloride. See also MAGNESIUM
COMPOUNDS. | | Safety | Magnesium oxide is widely used in oral formulations as an
excipient and as a therapeutic agent. Therapeutically, 250–500mg
is administered orally as an antacid and 2–5g as an osmotic
laxative. Magnesium oxide is generally regarded as a nontoxic
material when employed as an excipient, although adverse effects,
due to its laxative action, may occur if high doses are ingested orally. | | Potential Exposure | Used in oil refining, pulp and paper
mills; tire manufacturing; in the manufacture of refractory
crucibles; fire bricks; magnesia cements and boiler scale
compounds. Exposure may occur when magnesium is
burned, thermally cut, or welded upon. | | First aid | If this chemical gets into the eyes, remove anycontact lenses at once and irrigate immediately for at least15 min, occasionally lifting upper and lower lids. Seek medical attention immediately. If this chemical contacts theskin, remove contaminated clothing and wash immediatelywith soap and water. Seek medical attention immediately. Ifthis chemical has been inhaled, remove from exposure,begin rescue breathing (using universal precautions, including resuscitation mask) if breathing has stopped and CPR ifheart action has stopped. Transfer promptly to a medicalfacility. When this chemical has been swallowed, get medical attention. Give large quantities of water and inducevomiting. Do not make an unconscious person vomit. Thesymptoms of metal fume fever may be delayed for 4°12 hfollowing exposure: it may last less than 36 h.Note to physician: In case of fume inhalation, treat for pulmonary edema. Give prednisone or other corticosteroidorally to reduce tissue response to fume. Positive-pressureventilation may be necessary. Treat metal fume fever withbed rest, analgesics, and antipyretics. | | storage | Magnesium oxide is stable at normal temperatures and pressures.
However, it forms magnesium hydroxide in the presence of water.
Magnesium oxide is hygroscopic and rapidly absorbs water and
carbon dioxide on exposure to the air, the light form more readily
than the heavy form.
The bulk material should be stored in an airtight container in a
cool, dry place. | | Shipping | UN1418 Magnesium, powder or Magnesium

antihistamines, antibiotics (especially tetracyclines),salicylates, atropine sulfate,hyoscyamine hydrobromide, paracetamol,
chloroquine; and anthranilic acid derivatives have been
reported to adsorb onto the surface of magnesium oxide.
Magnesium oxide can also complex with polymers, e.g. Eudragit
RS, to retard drug release and can interact in the solid state
with phenobarbitone sodium. Magnesium oxide can also reduce
the bioavailability of phenytoin,trichlormethiazide,and antiarrhythmics.The presence of magnesium oxide can also have a
negative impact on the solid-state chemical stability of drugs, such
as diazepam.Magnesium oxide has been used as a stabilizer for
omeprazole due to its strong waterproofing effect. | | Regulatory Status | GRAS listed. Accepted for use as a food additive in Europe.
