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 application ranging from waste-
water 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. |
