Uses of light burned magnesia powder

Light burned magnesia powderIt is a flexural, compression-resistant, high-strength, air-hardening cementitious material, widely used in national defense, medicine, chemical industry, papermaking, shipbuilding and other industries. In the building materials industry, light burned magnesia powder can be used to make base boards, particle boards, insulated columns, railings, artificial marble, asbestos shingles, ordinary tiles, wall panels, and floor paving. With the advancement of technology, light burned magnesia powder has even broader applications: it can be used for civil engineering products, packing boxes for heavy and light machinery, packaging base beams, high-temperature refractory materials, and can also be used to make beautiful and highly glossy furniture. In the machinery industry, it can be used for casting molds.

Light burned magnesia is widely used in building materials, chemical industry, metallurgy, medicine and many other fields. It is an ideal material for producing fireproof boards, lightweight partition boards, magnesium sulfate, papermaking, desulfurization processes, and slag splashing for furnace protection in steel plants.

Magnesite, brucite, and magnesium hydroxide extracted from seawater or brine are calcined at about 800~1000℃ to decompose and release CO2 or H2O, yielding light burned magnesia powder, also called light burned magnesium oxide, caustic magnesium oxide, or light burned magnesia, commonly known as magnesia powder. Light burned magnesia powder has a loose texture and high chemical activity. It can be used to make magnesium cement, magnesite building products, thermal insulation materials, etc., and is also an intermediate product in the two-step calcination process for producing high-quality magnesia.

Light burned magnesia powder has a wide range of uses. In the chemical industry, it is used as raw material for producing magnesium sulfate, magnesium nitrate, magnesium hydroxide, and magnesium chloride. In the building materials industry, it is used to make magnesium-based mobile houses, wood-substitute packing boxes, magnesium floor tiles, magnesium corrugated tiles, magnesium decorative panels, etc.
