Natural Brucite Granular Easy for Application

Diatomaceous earth filtration is a key process step in reliable and consistent production of vegetable oils, edible oils, and related food products.

Diatomaceous earth filter aids are light in weight, chemically inert, and form high porosity filter cakes to maintain free-flow of the liquid. Specifically, an efficient filter aid is characterized by the following:

The structure of the particles must be such that they will not pack together closely, but will form cakes that are 85% to 95% pore space. This not only permits higher initial flow rates, but also provides pore spaces to trap and contain the filterable solids while leaving a high percentage of channels open for flow.

Composition of Brucite

Brucite is Natural Magnesium Hydroxide, also known as hydrated magnesia. Melting point (dehydration) 340 ° C, relative density: 2.39, hardness: 2.5, crystal structure: six crystal systems, relative molecular mass: 58.32, solubility: 0.009 g / L. Brucite has a simple chemical composition and its molecular formula is Mg(OH)2. Brucite is a rare high-magnesium mineral in nature. Its theoretical chemical composition is MgO 69.12% and H2O 30.55%. It is often found in brucites produced in nature. Impurities such as Fe, Mn, Zn, Ni, etc., these impurities exist as a homogeneous image, forming a series of continuous or discontinuous solid solution, constituent endmembers: iron brucite (including FeO 10%), manganese brucite (containing MnO 18%), zinc brucite (including ZnO 4%), nickel brucite (including NiO 2.5%). The associated minerals of brucite are serpentine, calcite, dolomite, magnesite, magnesium silicate mineral, periclase, diopside and talc.

Use of brucite

Brucite is an industrial mineral with special value due to its high content of useful components, low content of harmful impurities, and its unique physicochemical properties, which are different from other types of magnesium-containing mineral raw materials. The main uses of brucite is as below:

1. Flame retardant additives in rubber, plastic and fiber

2.  Flue gas desulfurization

3. Aluminum composite panel

4. Paper industry

5. Agriculture and fertilizer uses

6. Environmental protection field (Wastewater treatment)

7. Magnesia high temperature refractory

8. Fireproof coating

9. Neutralize the treatment agent and adjust the pH value
