Magnesium oxide has a wide range of applications and is widely used in construction materials, municipal management, agriculture, machinery and other fields.
1. In the construction materials industry, magnesium oxide is used to produce magnesium cement. This new type of cement has the advantages of light weight, high strength, heat insulation and fire resistance, as well as environmental protection and energy conservation.
2. Fire resistance: As a building material, magnesium oxide wall panels have many excellent characteristics such as fire resistance, termite prevention, moisture resistance, mold prevention, and high strength.
3. Due to its acid buffering capacity and the ability to stabilize the dissolution of heavy metal substances, magnesium oxide is widely used in soil and groundwater remediation, wastewater treatment, drinking water treatment, air emission treatment and waste treatment industries.
4. It can also be used as a raw material for manufacturing ceramics, enamelware, refractory bricks, etc.
5. In the chemical industry, magnesium oxide is the raw material for producing magnesium sulfate, magnesium hydroxide, magnesium chloride, etc.
6. In the food industry, magnesium oxide can be used as a descolorizer for refined sugar, a pH regulator for ice cream powder, and an anti-caking agent and antacid in foods such as wheat flour, milk powder, chocolate, cocoa powder, grape powder, sugar powder, etc.
7. In medical fields, magnesium oxide can be used as an antacid, magnesium supplement and short-term laxative to relieve heartburn and indigestion. It can also be used to improve symptoms of indigestion.
