OXIDE AND NON OXIDE CERAMIC
Oxide ceramics
MAGNESIA (MgO)
Raw materials
Two most important magnesium materials are magnesite (MgCO3) and Brucite ( Mg(OH)2 )
Processing
1 . DEAD BURNING --- hydroxide or carbonate heated from 1500-2000 degree celcius.
2 . HARD BURNING --- hydroxide or carbonate is heated between 1000 to 1500 degree celcius to retain some of its chemical reactivity
3 . LIGHT BURNING --- temperature of heating is kept between 700 to 1000 degree Celcius and product resulting in more reactive
FUSION --- hydroxide or carbonate heated to temperature in excess of 2650 degree celcius . This process producing a very dense and inert product.
