Magnesium Hydroxide is an industrial chemical compound that is known for its vast applications in various industries. It is used as an ingredient in antacids for the treatment of excess stomach acid and gastrointestinal discomfort. It is also used in the production of flame retardants, as it suppresses fire. It also finds its application in producing certain plastics, which include thermoplastics, thermosets, and elastomers, to improve fire resistance. It is also used in wastewater treatment, as it helps neutralize acidic waste. It is also used as a precursor in the synthesis of various derivative products.

The market of Magnesium Hydroxide is predominantly driven by its application in the medical and pharmaceutical industries, which drives its demand. Its application as an antacid to reduce stomach acidity further enhances its demand in the pharmaceutical and healthcare industries. Its usage in water treatment industries also elevates its market growth. Due to its fire-suppressing properties, its association with the chemical, construction, and textile industries remarkably surges its market expansion. Additionally, industrial Magnesium Hydroxide procurement is impacted by numerous factors, including the cost and the availability of raw materials (barium sulfide, etc.), its application in the chemical and construction industries, distribution, logistics, and quality standards.

Raw Material for Magnesium Hydroxide Production

According to the Magnesium Hydroxide manufacturing plant project report, the major raw materials for Magnesium Hydroxide production include Brine/Bittern-Lime

Manufacturing Process of Magnesium Hydroxide

The extensive Magnesium Hydroxide production cost report consists of the following industrial manufacturing process:

• Production via Brine-Lime Method: This method of production involves the use of brine/bittern and lime as raw materials to produce magnesium hydroxide as the product. It is a multi-step process that involves three stages. The synthesis begins with the reaction of brine and lime in a reactor at 10-50°C for 3- 60 minutes, followed by hydrothermal treatment and centrifugation to obtain magnesium hydroxide. Further, the obtained magnesium hydroxide is surface-treated, dried at 120-150 ° C, and pulverized to produce powdered magnesium hydroxide as the final product.

Magnesium Hydroxide, chemically represented as Mg(OH)2, is an inorganic compound comprising one magnesium atom, two oxygen atoms, and two hydrogen atoms. It is commonly known as an antacid and has a molecular weight of 58.320 g/mol. Each molecule consists of a magnesium ion (Mg²+) bonded to two hydroxide groups (OH-). This compound appears as a white, crystalline powder, odorless and non-flammable. It has a basic pH, typically ranging from around 10 to 10.4. In its natural form, Magnesium Hydroxide is found as brucite, a type of earth mineral. It has a density of 2.36 g/cm³ and a melting point of about 350 °C. Magnesium Hydroxide is known to be stable under normal atmospheric conditions. It undergoes a mass loss of approximately 31% upon heating to around 450°C, primarily due to the release of water vapor. While it is soluble in ammonium salt solutions and dilute acids, it exhibits poor solubility in water and alcohol. The compound is not considered a flammable substance. Hence, it does not have an autoignition temperature.
