Food Grade Magnesium Oxide Powder Cas 1309-48-4 For Food Additives Color Stabilizers PH Regulators

Industrial grade light-burned

Application area: Mainly used in the production of magnesite products. Light-burned magnesium oxide and magnesium chloride aqueous solution are mixed in a certain proportion to gel and harden into a hardened body with certain physical and mechanical properties, which is called magnesite cement. Magnesite cement, as a new type of cement, has the advantages of light weight, high strength, fireproof and heat insulation, energy saving and environmental protection, and can be widely used in building materials, municipal administration, agriculture, machinery and other fields.

Advanced lubricant grade

Application areas: Mainly used as a detergent, vanadium inhibitor, and desulfurizer in advanced lubricant processing, greatly improving the density and rheology of the lubricating film and reducing ash content. Removing lead and mercury reduces the pollution of lubricating oil or fuel waste to the environment. The surface-treated magnesium oxide can also be used as a complexing agent, chelating agent, and carrier in the oil refining process, which is more conducive to product fractionation and improving product quality. In particular, adding Mg0 during heavy oil combustion can eliminate the damage of vanadic acid in heavy oil to the furnace.

Food grade

Application areas: Used as food additives, color stabilizers, pH regulators, and magnesium supplements for health products and foods. Used as a decolorizer for sugar refining, ice cream powder pH regulator, etc. It is used as an anti-caking agent and antacid in wheat flour, milk powder chocolate, cocoa powder, grape powder, sugar powder, etc. It can also be used in the manufacture of ceramics, enamel, glass, dyes, etc.

Characteristics

1. Strong Chemical Stability: It maintains its chemical stability at high temperatures and is resistant to decomposition or deterioration.
2. Non-toxic and Harmless: It is non-toxic and harmless to humans and the environment, without generating harmful substances during use.
3. Renewable: It is a renewable resource that can be recycled through natural reactions.
4. High Insulation: It exhibits excellent insulating properties, suitable for the electronics industry.

Advantages

1. Enhanced Product Performance: Used in building materials such as glass and ceramics, it improves product quality and performance.
2. Environmental Applications: It can be used in wastewater treatment, flue gas desulfurization, and soil remediation, contributing to environmental protection.
3. Biomedical Applications: In the medical field, magnesium oxide serves as an antacid ingredient to relieve discomfort caused by excessive stomach acid secretion.

Production Techniques

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.

Theory (Background)

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.

Services

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.

Packaging and Storage

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.

Preventive Measures

1. Industrial Protection: Operators should wear appropriate personal protective equipment, such as dust masks, chemical safety goggles, breathable work clothes, and rubber gloves, during industrial use.
2. Medical Monitoring: When using magnesium oxide preparations in the medical field, they should be used as prescribed by a doctor to avoid long-term or excessive use, which may cause harm to the human body.
3. Environmental Monitoring: During storage and transportation, clear emergency response plans should be in place to address potential leaks or other emergencies.
