Magnesium oxide-based refractory bricks used in steelmaking furnaces
Product: High-purity Magnesium Oxide (MgO ≥90%)
Key Applications:
· Manufacture of magnesia bricks, magnesia-chrome bricks, and dolomite bricks for steelmaking, cement, and glass industries
· Lining material for blast furnaces, converters, and ladles due to its excellent thermal stability (melting point: 2800°C)
· Refractory coatings for crucibles and kiln linings
Advantages:High refractoriness, corrosion resistance against slags and molten metals, and low thermal conductivity.
2. Agriculture & Animal Husbandry
Magnesium oxide as a soil amendment and animal feed additive
Product: Agricultural Grade Magnesium Oxide (MgO ≥85%)
Key Applications:
· Soil conditioner to correct magnesium deficiency and adjust pH levels in acidic soils
· Component in compound fertilizers to promote plant growth (essential for chlorophyll synthesis)
· Animal feed additive to prevent magnesium deficiency (e.g., grass tetany in cattle) and improve feed efficiency
Advantages:Slow-release magnesium source, non-toxic, and cost-effective compared to other magnesium supplements.
3. Environmental Protection
Magnesium oxide used in flue gas desulfurization and wastewater treatment
Product: Environmental Grade Magnesium Oxide (MgO ≥90%)
Key Applications:
· Flue gas desulfurization (FGD) in power plants to remove SO2 emissions
· Wastewater treatment for heavy metal precipitation (e.g., removing lead, cadmium, and nickel)
· Neutralization of acidic industrial effluents
Advantages:High reactivity, low sludge generation, and recyclable by-products (e.g., magnesium sulfate).
4. Chemical Industry
Magnesium oxide as a catalyst and raw material in chemical production
Product: Reagent Grade Magnesium Oxide (MgO ≥90%)
Key Applications:
· Catalyst in organic synthesis (e.g., transesterification for biodiesel production)
· Raw material for magnesium salts (magnesium sulfate, magnesium chloride, magnesium hydroxide)
· Neutralizing agent in pharmaceutical and cosmetic manufacturing
Advantages:High purity, stable chemical properties, and excellent catalytic activity.
