Function of brucite

purpose
Brucite deposit is a newly discovered and developed mineral in China in the late 1980s. Its main uses are as follows.
1) As a high-quality raw material for refining metal magnesium. It contains 69% MgO and 41.6% metal magnesium, which is much higher than the magnesium content in dolomite used to extract metal magnesium at present (the theoretical value of MgO in dolomite is 21.7%).
2) Raw materials for manufacturing flame retardants.
3) High grade refractories are produced by refining brucite into periclase (MgO).
4) As an additive raw material for rubber, plastic, man-made fiber and electrical insulation materials.
5) As an environmental protection material - sulfur remover.
6) As a weak alkaline reagent in the paper industry, it can replace lime to treat the sewage of paper mill.
7) Fused brucite is also used as structural materials for electronics, nuclear reactors and nuclear rocket equipment.
8) As infrared and ultraviolet equipment materials.
9) Brucite with beautiful color can be used as carving material.






10) The use of fibrous brucite is exactly the same as that of asbestos, and even has a wider range of applications.
