MAGNESITE (MgCO₃)
Magnesite (MgCO₃)
By Aqeel Chemical & Processing Unit
Magnesite is a naturally occurring carbonate mineral composed of magnesium carbonate (MgCO₃). It is an important source of magnesium and is widely valued for its high refractoriness, thermal stability, chemical resistance, and wide industrial applications. Magnesite occurs in massive, crystalline, or granular forms, typically white, grey, or yellowish in color.
At Aqeel Chemical & Processing Unit, we supply premium-quality Magnesite in ore, calcined, and dead-burned forms to meet the diverse requirements of metallurgy, refractories, agriculture, environmental, and chemical industries.
Key Features of Magnesite
- High magnesium oxide (MgO) content.
- Excellent refractoriness and thermal resistance.
- Chemically inert and resistant to acids & alkalis.
- Available in natural, calcined, and dead-burned grades.
- High density and durability.
Grades & Availability
- Raw Magnesite Ore – Lump and crushed.
- Caustic Calcined Magnesite (CCM) – For agriculture, chemicals, and environmental uses.
- Dead Burned Magnesite (DBM) – High-density grade for refractories and furnaces.
- Fused Magnesite – Ultra-high purity for specialized applications.
- Custom sizing and specifications available on request.
Industrial Applications of Magnesite
Refractory Industry
- Widely used in basic refractory bricks and linings for steel, iron, and non-ferrous furnaces.
- Provides high resistance to heat, slag, and corrosion.
- Dead-burned and fused magnesite are key materials in steelmaking, cement, and glass furnaces.
Metallurgy
- Used as a fluxing agent in steel production.
- Essential in slag conditioning and purification processes.
- Contributes to extended furnace life and improved efficiency.
Agriculture
- Source of magnesium nutrients in fertilizers.
- Helps neutralize soil acidity and improve crop yield.
- Used in animal feed supplements as a magnesium additive.
Environmental Applications
- Applied in wastewater treatment and flue gas desulfurization.
- Used in the production of magnesium chemicals for environmental protection.
Construction & Building Materials
- Used in manufacturing Magnesium Oxychloride Cement (MOC), known as Sorel cement.
- Provides fire resistance, durability, and lightness in construction panels, flooring, and boards.
Chemical Industry
