Magnesium Oxide in Refractory Materials

28 Feb.,2022

Magnesium oxide is also called magnesia, caustic magnesia and active magnesia. Industrial magnesia (also known as light magnesia) is a high-purity magnesia with higher purity. The quality of magnesium oxide is poor and the impurity content is large. The magnesium oxide

 

industrial stainless steel fittings is also called magnesia, caustic magnesia and active magnesia. Industrial magnesia (also known as light magnesia) is a high-purity magnesia with higher purity. The quality of magnesium oxide is poor and the impurity content is large. The magnesium oxide directly obtained by roasting magnesite at a temperature of 700-1000 ° C is used to be called magnesium powder. High-purity magnesia produced by purification of natural magnesite or seawater and brine (where the calcination temperature is controlled at 700-1000°C) is used to be called high-purity magnesia in the refractory industry.

Magnesium oxide has loose texture, great chemical activity, and high specific surface area. It is easy to react with water to generate magnesium hydroxide, which is easily reacted to magnesium carbonate in the air.

Magnesium oxide is an industrial raw material with moderate alkalinity and chemical activity. Its excellent performance has attracted more and more attention, and the development of slag splash protection technology in converter steelmaking has made magnesia more widely used. At present, the slag splashing furnace is mostly used after being formed into balls of magnesium oxide, which can be compounded with other minerals according to needs. Magnesium oxide is widely used in the refractory industry. Magnesium oxide is not only the basic raw material of magnesia refractories, but also a magnesium salt chemical raw material.
