Magnesium Oxide (MgO) – Made in China

The primary application of magnesia is as a refractory material used for furnace linings. Magnesia is also used in the production of other ceramics, such as chromium-free spinel materials. Spinel can be produced by the electric fusion of alumina and magnesia.
Magnesium compounds, especially magnesium oxide, are primarily used as refractory materials in furnaces for producing iron and steel, non-ferrous metals, glass, and cement. Magnesium oxide and other compounds are also applied in construction, chemical, and agricultural industries.
The main use of magnesium is as an alloying additive in aluminum, which is widely employed in beverage cans. Magnesium alloys also serve as structural components in automobiles and machinery. Another important application of this metal is in assisting the removal of sulfur from iron and steel.

Other Industrial Applications:

• Magnesium, like aluminum, is strong and lightweight, making it commonly used in high-quality wheels, known as mag wheels.
• Its alloys are essential in the construction of airplanes and rockets.
• When used as an alloying agent, magnesium enhances the production, mechanical properties, and weldability of aluminum.
• Acts as a reducing agent for producing pure uranium and other metals from their salts.
• Its hydroxide is used in magnesium milk, and its chloride and sulfate are applied in magnesia-sulfate processes in furnaces.
• Dead-burned magnesite is used for refractory purposes, such as bricks and protective furnace linings.
• In the steel industry, it serves as internal lining for electric arc furnaces, steel converters, and transfer equipment.
• In the cement industry, it is used in preheater internals, coolers, and kilns for firing ceramic products.
• In non-ferrous steel industries, it is applied as furnace internals.
• Also used in glass production.
