Magnesium hydroxide: A new and versatile rubber chemical

The first significant reference to the use of magnesium hydroxide as a rubber chemical is a paper presented at the 1985 Rubber Division meeting in Los Angeles [ref. 1]. On the basis of this work, magnesium hydroxide was recommended as the inorganic base for the thiadiazole cure system in CPE. This reference is considered "significant" in that it is connected to the first commercial uses of magnesium hydroxide as a rubb...

Magnesia: Moving beyond refractories
Mining Engineering ; Most magnesia (MgO), whether of natural or synthetic origin, is used in the dead-burned or periclase form as refractory linings for the production of steel. Continued research in refractory science, combined with good refractory maintenance and improvements in steel-making processes, have resulted
Magnesium hydroxide shows relative balance. (Markets: Inorganics).(magnesium hydroxide market in the U.S.)(Brief Article)(Statistical Data Included)
Chemical Market Reporter ; THE US MAGNESIUM hydroxide market is balanced to oversupplied, depending on product grade and consumption. While annual demand in this market has shown steady growth over the last few years, the slower US economy and continued offshore competition is likely to yield somewhat slower demand growth.

Application of magnesium hydroxide to the treatment of acidic metal bearing effluent: Gerry Spoors, development manager, Omex environmental, says that using magnesium hydroxide, as a stable suspension, rather than caustic soda or lime, to treat acidic effluents, has a number of technical and cost advantages.(special feature)
Finishing ; Many metal treatment processes produce acidic waste streams, which have to be neutralised before discharge, to meet pH and metal consents. Traditionally caustic soda and lime have been used, but these materials are difficult and dangerous to handle, and often create other environmental problems.
