Any disruptions in the supply of these raw materials further affect the production cost and procurement strategies for magnesium nitride. Additionally, compliance with environmental standards related to the mining and production process of magnesium nitride can impose additional costs and influence its procurement decisions.

Raw Material for Magnesium Nitride Production

According to the Magnesium Nitride manufacturing plant project report, the major raw materials for Magnesium Nitride production include Magnesium (Mg) Powder-Nitrogen (N2) gas.

Manufacturing Process of Magnesium Nitride

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

• Production via Direct Nitridation: This method involves the process of nitridation to obtain magnesium nitride as the product. The process starts with the direct nitridation reaction of magnesium powder with nitrogen (N2) gas at a temperature between 650 °C and 800 °C (nitridation temperature) for 60 minutes. The reaction results in the formation of magnesium nitride as the final product.

Magnesium Nitride is a greenish-yellow powder with a molecular weight of 100.9494 g/mol. The molecular formula of the compound is Mg3N2 and has a density of 2.712 g/cm³. It has a high melting point of approximately 1500°C. The compound is soluble in both acid and water and is also slightly soluble in ether and ethanol. The compound structurally consists of three magnesium cations (Mg²⁺) and two nitrogen anions (N^3-). Magnesium Nitride is highly reactive, and it reacts with water to produce magnesium hydroxide and ammonia. The compound also decomposes upon heating above its melting point to form nitrogen gas. It exhibits high thermal conductivity, excellent corrosion resistance, high wear resistance, and high-temperature resistance. It also possesses catalytic properties and is also characterized as a hard compound with ceramic-like properties.
