Lightly Calcined Magnesite 


                                   
  • A Chemically reactive material which is produced by sintering (heating of ore at high temperature) raw Magnesite Shaft Kiln or rotary kiln at a controlled temperature 1100 degree centigrade by using furnace oil. 
  • Synonyms are Calcined Magnesite, Caustic Calcined Magnesia. 
  • Reaction involves under calcination is MgCO3 = MgO + CO2 which expels out the carbon dioxide.
  • Applications in the fields of Abrasive for Grinding Wheels, Construction, Fertilizers (Plant Nutrient), Stock Feed / Cattle Feed, Fuel Additive, Leather Tanning, Refractory (Ceramics/Steel industry).
