Magnesium Oxide (MgO) , commonly known as magnesia or bitter earth, is a typical alkaline earth metal oxide inorganic compound. It typically appears as a white or off-white powder that is odorless, tasteless, and non-toxic.

I. Food Sector

In the food industry, Magnesium Oxide is mainly used as a food additive, serving multiple functions:

1. Anticaking Agent
Leveraging its hygroscopicity, Magnesium Oxide can absorb moisture, preventing powdered foods from caking and maintaining a free-flowing state. Common applications include:Powdered beverage mixes,Wheat flour, milk powder, cocoa powder, powdered sugar, etc.

 

2.pH Regulator
As a natural alkaline substance, Magnesium Oxide can neutralize acidity and regulate the pH of food products.

 

3. Magnesium Nutritional Fortifier
As a source of dietary magnesium, it is used to supplement the body's required magnesium element:

 

II. Industrial Sector

Magnesium Oxide has extremely wide applications in industry, primarily relying on its high melting point, chemical stability, and adsorptivity:

1. Refractory Materials
Magnesium Oxide is one of the core raw materials for producing refractory materials:

Lining materials for metallurgical furnaces and kilns

High-temperature components in ceramics and glass manufacturing

Electronic materials such as translucent ceramic crucibles and substrates

 

2. Building Materials Industry

Magnesium oxychloride cement: Light-burned Magnesium Oxide reacts with magnesium chloride solution to form a gelled hardened body known as magnesia cement. It offers advantages such as light weight, high strength, fire resistance, and thermal insulation, and is widely used in building materials and municipal engineering.

Dry-process cement production: Used as one of the components of cement.

 

3. Environmental Treatment

Wastewater treatment: Used to remove pollutants from wastewater, as well as to treat industrial acidic wastewater.

Flue gas desulfurization: Removes sulfur dioxide from industrial exhaust gases.

Soil remediation: Used for soil and groundwater remediation.

 

4.Feed Additive
In animal husbandry, Magnesium Oxide is used to supplement the magnesium required by animals.

 

III. Pharmaceutical Sector

Antacid: Used to relieve discomfort caused by excess stomach acid.

Laxative: Used as a mild laxative to relieve constipation.
