Light magnesium carbonate has a very wide range of applications. Such as pigments, paints, etc.
At the same time, magnesium carbonate is also used in refractory materials, fire extinguishing agents, flooring and insulation materials. In the plastics and rubber industries, magnesium carbonate is used as a filler and smoke suppressant.
In addition, it also has a small amount of application in the production of glass, ceramics and chemicals, and chemical fertilizers. CPU grade magnesium carbonate is also used as a table salt additive, powder forming foaming agent, antacid in toothpaste and biscuits.
Magnesium carbonate for medicinal purposes, used in antacids.
Neutralizing gastric acid medicine, clinically used for hyperacidity, gastric and duodenal ulcers, etc.
Due to the small mass and volume of this product, it is suitable for the preparation of powder. In the food industry, 10%-15% of auxiliary ingredients are used in flour improvers to improve the dispersion and fluidity of flour improvers, and they are also anti-caking and loosening agents. In addition, it can also be used in the manufacture of magnesium salt, magnesium oxide, fireproof insulation materials, fireproof coatings, rubber, ceramics, glass, cosmetics, toothpaste and pigments and other industries.
Food grade basic magnesium carbonate is mainly used as a flour improver.
In the scientific formula of flour improver, basic magnesium carbonate is an important auxiliary component. Its important role is to improve the dispersion and fluidity of flour improver, and it is an anti-caking loosening agent.
Generally, the content in flour improver 10% – 15%. Have better mobility. Its MgO content is between 40% and 43%, the water content should be less than 1%, and the apparent specific volume is between 1.4 and 2.5mL/g. In addition, it is also used in food, cosmetics and medicine.
Electronic grade basic magnesium carbonate, in addition to being used as a raw material for electronic components, is also an important raw material for the preparation of high-purity magnesium oxide, high-grade ink, fine ceramics, medicine, cosmetics, toothpaste, high-grade pigments, etc. Among them, the added value of electronic materials is the highest.
Transparent and lightweight magnesium carbonate, mainly used as a filler and reinforcing agent for transparent or light-colored rubber products. After it is mixed with rubber, it hardly changes the refractive index of the rubber itself, and can enhance the wear resistance and flex resistance of the rubber. and tensile strength. It can be used as an additive in paints, inks and coatings, as well as in toothpaste, medicine and cosmetics industries.
Application of Magnesium Carbonate in Batteries
I believe that everyone is familiar with batteries, especially lithium batteries have been applied to various fields including electric vehicles. Lithium batteries are mainly composed of positive and negative electrodes, electrolyte, diaphragm, casing and electrode leads.
The core materials of lithium ion batteries are mainly positive electrode materials, electrolyte and diaphragm. The positive electrode materials account for 40% of the cost of lithium batteries. Liquid and diaphragm costs accounted for 10% and 20% respectively. At present, the positive electrode materials are roughly divided into: lithium manganese oxide, lithium cobalt oxide, multi-component system, lithium iron phosphate, and lithium titanate.
Lithium manganese oxide, lithium cobalt oxide battery material, the characteristics of magnesium carbonate used, improved the existing production process, provides a simple preparation, high purity, large specific surface area, composed of very fine crystal grains, non-toxic, tasteless , Magnesium products with good dispersibility, good activity and low magnetic properties. This kind of magnesium carbonate has obvious small size effect, surface effect, quantum size effect and macro tunnel effect. After modification, it has no agglomeration phenomenon and good fineness.
Magnesium carbonate market has broad prospects
Magnesium carbonate is widely used in daily life. Magnesium carbonate is used in industry, food and medicine, among which light magnesium carbonate has the most demand.
We believe that light magnesium carbonate is a sunrise industry, and the future market prospect is very broad.
