Is magnesium and magnesium oxide the same?

No, magnesium oxide consists of positive magnesium ions (Mg2+) and negative oxide (O2-) ions. It is a white powder. Magnesium and oxygen are to separate substances. Magnesium consists of neutral magnesium atoms (Mg). It is a silvery metal. Oxygen consists of neutral oxygen molecules (O2) it is a colorless gas.


How could magnesium be obtained from magnesium oxide?

Either melt the magnesium and run a fairly strong current through it, or use a very strong reducing agent (alkali metal) with the magnesium oxide in some form of solution (but not in water, obviously). Alkali metals cannot be used to reduce magnesium oxide. Their oxides can be easily reduced to metals by magnesium. M2O + Mg -> MgO + 2M (Li-Cs).


What is Light Magnesium Oxide and it's Applications?

Light magnesium oxide is produced via lower temperature calcination of magnesium carbonate or magnesium hydroxide. The lower calcination temperature causes the calcined magnesia to have a lower density, so it is considered ‘light’ compared to the denser high temperature calcined magnesia in heavy magnesium oxide. Light magnesium oxide derives its utility from its caustic nature when reacted with other metals, and for its higher potential for electrical conductivity. Light magnesium oxide is used primarily in applications that do not have restrictions on its overall mass, as its lower density means that it is more difficult to collect any significant mass of magnesium oxide in a container. However, despite its fluffier nature, light magnesium oxide is ideal for use in water treatment applications. Specifically, light magnesium oxide is used for extracting heavy metal contaminants from drinking and wastewater due to its higher reactivity and larger overall surface area. By and large though, heavy magnesium oxide is preferred for industrial and manufacturing use, particularly where space is at a premium such as concrete or wallboard manufacturing.RahulMag Light burned magnesium oxide is obtained by firing magnesium hydroxide at low temperature. It has fine particles and excellent reactivity, so it is used as a surface treatment agent and a ceramic raw material. Rahul Magnesia Private Limited manufacturers light magnesium oxide by making full use of our firing technology that has been cultivated over many years and by using high-quality materials. To respond to various demands from our customers, RahulMag offers products with a wide variety of reactivity, particle size and purity.Light Magnesium Oxide grades manufactured by RahulMag are used as:• Additive for plastics• Sintering additive for ceramics• Raw materials for castable refractories• Raw materials for ceramics• Raw materials for Surface treatment agents• Raw materials for electronic materials


Why we don't use Co2 as a fire extinguisher in magnesium factory?

Burning magnesium reacts with co2. As a result white powders of magnesium oxide is produced along with black particle of carbon. 2Mg+Co2=2MgO+C.


What is the Mass Number of Mg2?

Magnesium is very useful for alloys. We use it for make medicines. Mg has a mass number of 24.

What does one use magnesium oxide for?

Magnesium Oxide (MgO) is used to make Portland cement, and as a fire resistant building material. It also has medical uses and can be used as an antacid to relieve indigestion.


What are the various grades of magnesium oxide?

Magnesium oxide is categorized as a refractory material, which means that it is resistant to decomposition by heat, pressure or chemical attack and retains strength and form at higher temperatures.Rahul Magnesia Pvt. Ltd. is one of the leading manufacturer and supplier of magnesium oxide from India. The company also deals with exports of calcined magnesium oxide, magnesium sulphate, magnesium chloride, magnesium carbonate and light magnesium oxide.Light Burned Magnesium OxideLight burned magnesium oxide is a reactive grade of magnesium oxide that has been calcined at temperatures ranging from 700ºC – 1000ºC. Rahul Mag’s high purity light burned magnesium oxide products have a wide range of reactivity and are used in various applications.Hard burned Magnesium OxideHard burned magnesium oxide is a low reactive grade of magnesium oxide that has been calcined at temperatures ranging from 1000ºC – 1500ºC. Due to its narrow range of reactivity, hard burned magnesium oxide is typically used in applications where slow degradation or chemical reactivity is required.Dead Burned MgODead burned magnesium oxide has been calcined at temperatures ranging from 1500ºC – 2000ºC in a high temperature shaft kiln yielding a material with very little reactivity. Dead Burned Magnesium Oxide products are high purity, dead burned magnesium oxides with high density and low reactivity.Specialty MgOSpecialty magnesium oxides are manufactured to precise specifications in chemistry, size and surface area. Specialty high surface area magnesium oxides are calcined at temperatures below 700°C to produce highly reactive magnesium oxides for use in specialty applications.
