Is magnesium hydroxide a precipitate

Magnesium hydroxide is a precipitate.


Magnesium hydroxide is a inorganic compound substance with the chemical formula of Mg (OH) 2. It is a white amorphous powder or colorless hexagonal column crystal. It is soluble in dilute acid and ammonium salt solutions, almost insoluble in water. The part soluble in water is completely ionized, and the aqueous solution is weakly alkaline.


Due to the abundant content of magnesium hydroxide in nature and its chemical properties similar to aluminum, users have started using magnesium hydroxide instead of aluminum chloride for fragrance products. Used as an analytical reagent and also in the pharmaceutical industry.


Application:


Magnesium hydroxide is an excellent flame retardant for plastic and rubber products. As a flue gas desulfurization agent in terms of environmental protection, it can replace caustic soda and lime as a neutralizer for acidic wastewater. It is also used as an oil additive for corrosion prevention and desulfurization. In addition, it can also be used for refining in the electronics industry, pharmaceuticals, sugar, as insulation materials, and in the manufacturing of other magnesium salt products.
