Mineral Product Brucite Granular

One of the major global environmental problems facing modern mankind is the pollution of the atmosphere and water by harmful emissions, the pollution of soil and groundwater by wastewater, the safety of drinking water for the people, and the pollution of the atmosphere by harmful gas emissions. Prolonged exposure to polluted air can lead to the development of chronic and neoplastic diseases in the population.

Magnesium Hydroxide Brucite can use its basic alkaline properties to help deal with environmental pollution, and it can be used to treat acidic wastewater and flue gas, which can better protect the environment.

Composition of Brucite

Brucite is Natural Magnesium Hydroxide, also known as hydrated magnesia. Melting point (dehydration) 340 ° C, relative density: 2.39, hardness: 2.5, crystal structure: six crystal systems, relative molecular mass: 58.32, solubility: 0.009 g / L. Brucite has a simple chemical composition and its molecular formula is Mg(OH)2. Brucite is a rare high-magnesium mineral in nature. Its theoretical chemical composition is MgO 69.12% and H2O 30.55%. It is often found in brucites produced in nature. Impurities such as Fe, Mn, Zn, Ni, etc., these impurities exist as a homogeneous image, forming a series of continuous or discontinuous solid solution, constituent endmembers: iron brucite (including FeO 10%), manganese brucite (containing MnO 18%), zinc brucite (including ZnO 4%), nickel brucite (including NiO 2.5%). The associated minerals of brucite are serpentine, calcite, dolomite, magnesite, magnesium silicate mineral, periclase, diopside and talc.

Use of brucite

Brucite is an industrial mineral with special value due to its high content of useful components, low content of harmful impurities, and its unique physicochemical properties, which are different from other types of magnesium-containing mineral raw materials. The main uses of brucite is as below:

1. Flame retardant additives in rubber, plastic and fiber

2.  Flue gas desulfurization

3. Aluminum composite panel

4. Paper industry

5. Agriculture and fertilizer uses

6. Environmental protection field (Wastewater treatment)

7. Magnesia high temperature refractory

8. Fireproof coating

9. Neutralize the treatment agent and adjust the pH value
