Magnesium Carbonate Extra Pure is a high-purity, white powder valued for its excellent absorbent and antacid qualities. It is commonly used in pharmaceuticals as a magnesium supplement or antacid, and in food applications as a drying agent, anti-caking agent, or acidity regulator. In the cosmetics and personal care industry, it functions as a filler and a bulking agent in powders and creams. It is also employed in laboratory settings for analytical applications due to its consistent chemical composition. Its high absorbency and stability make it useful in rubber, ceramics, and sports grip products as well.
Magnesium Carbonate Extra Pure
Primary Uses
- Acid Neutralization Experiments:
- Commonly used in labs to demonstrate reactions of carbonates with acids, producing carbon dioxide.
- Source of Magnesium Ions:
- Serves as a magnesium source for preparing other magnesium-based reagents or salts.
- Drying Agent:
- Used in laboratories as a moisture absorbent or desiccant, especially in gas-drying or desiccator applications.
Secondary Uses
- Thermal Decomposition Studies:
- Useful in heat decomposition experiments to study the release of CO₂ and formation of magnesium oxide.
- Buffering and pH Adjustment:
- Occasionally used as a weak base to adjust pH in experimental setups or solutions.
- Demonstrations and Teaching:
- Ideal for educational demonstrations involving carbonate reactions, solubility, and mineral identification.
