Résumé

A Complete Guide to Magnesia-From Mining to End Use

Often relegated to footnote status in texts, magnesia is nevertheless a valuable substance widely used in applications ranging from wastewater treatment to catalysis. The Chemistry and Technology of Magnesia fills the long-standing gap in the literature with a comprehensive, one-stop reference to "all things magnesia."

The book brings together the many strands of information on magnesium compounds, their production, testing and evaluation, technology, applications, and markets. Opening with an introductory history of the chemical, it covers the life cycle of magnesia, natural and synthetic production, and uses in different fields including the environmental, health, and agricultural industries. Readers will find the section on health and safety issues particularly relevant.

Chapters include:

The History of Magnesia
Synthetic Magnesia
Pulp Applications
Environmental Applications
Magnesia Cements
Furnaces and Kilns
Post Calcination Processing
Other Magnesia Products
Mining and Processing Magnesite
The Physical and Chemical Properties of Magnesium Oxide
Water and Wastewater Application for Magnesia Products
Magnesia in Polymer Applications
The Role of Magnesium in Animal, Plants, and Human Nutrition
Magnesium Salts and Magnesium Metal
The Formation and Occurrence of Magnesite
Calcination of Magnesium Hydroxide and Carbonate
Miscellaneous Magnesia Applications
