Natural Brucite Lump for Fire Resistant

Brucite is used as a source of magnesium, and is also mined for a Brucite marble. Large individual crystals ans well-formed crystal groups are rare and desirable collector’s minerals, especially those from the defunct Wood’s Chrome Mine in Pennsylvania.

Synthetic brucite is mainly consumed as a precursor to magnesia (MgO), a useful refractory insulator. It finds some use as a flame retardant because it thermally decomposes to release water in a similar way to aluminium hydroxide and mixtures of huntite and hydromagnesite. It also constitutes a significant source of magnesium for industry.

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
