Features
- High melting point: Its melting point is as high as 2852 °C, endowing it with excellent high – temperature resistance.
- High hardness: It has a Mohs hardness of around 5.5, possessing certain mechanical strength.
- Chemical stability: At room temperature, it does not readily react with substances such as water, acids, and alkalis, and reactions only occur under specific conditions.
- Good insulation: It has a high resistivity and is an excellent electrical insulating material.
- Adsorptivity: It has a relatively large specific surface area and has a certain adsorption capacity for some gases and liquids.
Applications
- Refractory materials: It is used to manufacture refractory bricks, refractory crucibles, high – temperature furnace linings, etc., which can withstand high – temperature environments.
- Chemical raw materials: It is an important raw material for preparing other magnesium compounds, such as magnesium hydroxide and magnesium carbonate. It can also be used as a catalyst or catalyst support.
- Pharmaceutical field: It is used as an antacid and laxative, which can neutralize stomach acid and relieve symptoms like stomach pain caused by excessive stomach acid.
- Electronics industry: It is used to make insulating materials for electronic components, playing an insulating and supporting role in integrated circuits, electronic ceramics, etc.
- Rubber industry: As a reinforcing agent and filler for rubber, it can improve the strength, wear resistance, and aging resistance of rubber.
- Water treatment: It can be used to treat acidic wastewater, adjust the pH value of the wastewater, and also adsorb some pollutants in water.
