MAGNESIUM OXIDE MgO CAUSTIC CALCINED
It is a white powdery substance that is soft and absorbs water well. It doesn’t burn and is explosive. In nature, it can be found in a form of mineral periclase in Italian, Austrian, Russian, American, and Spanish deposits.For mass consumption in industry and medicine, the substance is retrieved through the process of low-temperature roasting of one of the most widespread minerals, raw magnesium carbonate.
Manufacturer’s certificates
The powder melts at 2825°C and boils at 3600°C. Different temperatures are applied for roasting in order to receive different qualities of the substance. It can be dissolved in heated water vapor and can be dissolved in cold water, but slower, forming magnesium hydroxide Mg(OH)2. It also reacts with the acids and other oxides.
The properties of the substance are widely exploited in the production of fire retardants, rubber, heating elements, steel, cement, and electrical insulators. In the medical industry, it found its use as a remedy to treat high stomach acidity, as a neutralizer of acids that got into the digestive tract, and as a source of magnesium. In food industry, it is a supplement that prevents lump formation and clumping of products.
In agriculture, it is widely used as a mineral fertilizer that contains magnesium which is applied to pasture soil and fields where vegetables, potatoes, and fruit orchards are cultivated.
The lack of Mg negatively affects the main suppliers of the energy to the plant’s cells – it slows down chlorophyll emission and suppresses nucleotides synthesis.
Without magnesium supplements plants start getting sick which leads to a decrease in crop yields and overall fruit quality.
