Physical and chemical properties
Magnesium oxide is a white amorphous powder. Odorless, tasteless,
non-toxic. Relative density is about 3.58 (25℃). Melting point is
2852℃, boiling point is 3600℃. It is difficult to dissolve in
water, insoluble in alcohol, soluble in acid or ammonium salt
solution. It can be converted into crystals after being burned at a
high temperature of more than 1000℃. When the temperature rises to
more than 1500℃, it becomes dead-burned magnesium oxide or sintered
magnesium oxide. It generates basic magnesium carbonate when it
meets carbon dioxide in the air.
Uses
Magnesium oxide is used to make ceramics, enamel, refractory
crucibles and refractory bricks, etc. It is used as a polishing
agent, adhesive, filler for paint and paper, accelerator and
activator for chloroprene rubber, and can be mixed with magnesium
chloride solution to make magnesium oxide cement. It is used as an
antacid and laxative in medicine for hyperacidity, gastric and
duodenal ulcers. It is also used in glass, dyes, phenolic plastics,
etc. Food grade magnesium oxide is used as a decolorizer in the
refining of sand and gravel, pH adjustment of ice cream powder,
etc.
Preparation method
Soda ash method, ammonium carbonate method
High-purity magnesium oxide process
The domestic method that can actually mass-produce magnesium oxide
with a content of more than 99% is mostly the magnesium hydroxide
method, that is, using brine as the main raw material, ammonia or
alkali as a precipitant, first making magnesium hydroxide and then
calcining and decomposing it into magnesium oxide. Using Qinghai
brine particles or other hydrous chlorine bischofite as the main
raw materials, the magnesium oxide produced by the ammonia method
should be able to reach more than 99%, and the large-scale
production technology of magnesium oxide should be mature.
Application areas
High-purity magnesium oxide has excellent alkali resistance and
electrical insulation at high temperatures. It has high thermal
expansion coefficient and thermal conductivity and good light
transmittance. It is widely used as a high-temperature
heat-resistant material. In the ceramic field, it is used as a raw
material for translucent ceramic crucibles, substrates, etc. In the
electrical materials and electrical fields, it is used as a filler
for magnetic devices, a filler for insulating materials, and
various carriers. When used as a ceramic substrate, its thermal
conductivity is more than twice that of alumina, and the loss of
electrolyte is only 1/10 of that of alumina. It can also be used as
a raw material for high-purity fused magnesia, and can be used as
"analytical pure" magnesium oxide in chemistry.

Magnesium oxide can be produced through various methods, including the carbonation process, calcination of magnesium hydroxide, soda ash process, and ammonium bicarbonate process. The choice of method often depends on the specific needs and characteristics of downstream industries. For example, the carbonation process can produce lightweight magnesium oxide, while the calcination of magnesium hydroxide can produce high-purity magnesium oxide.
Magnesium oxide consists of Mg²⁺ ions and O²⁻ ions bound together through ionic bonds to form a crystal lattice. At high temperatures, magnesium oxide exhibits excellent physical and chemical stability, making it a model system for studying crystal vibration characteristics. Additionally, magnesium oxide is widely regarded as the most effective metal stabilizer compared to silicate cement, lime, and others due to its superior buffering capacity, cost-effectiveness, and ease/safety of operation.
Magnesium oxide enterprises should establish an application technology department with professional technical service personnel. These personnel should possess extensive knowledge and experience in production processes, technology, and magnesium oxide applications, enabling them to provide professional technical support and solutions to customers.
Magnesium oxide should be stored in a cool, well-ventilated warehouse, avoiding direct sunlight and high temperatures. The warehouse should be kept away from fire sources and heat to prevent magnesium oxide from undergoing chemical reactions or fires due to high temperatures. The packaging of magnesium oxide should be intact to prevent leakage, damage, or dropping during transportation. According to the HG/T 2573-2012 standard, the packaging of industrial light magnesium oxide must comply with specific regulations.
