Magnesium powder (Mg powder, CAS 7439-95-4) usually refers to the powder state of elemental magnesium, which has a silver white metallic luster and is a lively metal. It is flammable when wet. During combustion, strong white light is generated and high heat is released. Reacting with water or moisture releases hydrogen gas, releasing a large amount of heat, causing combustion or explosion. It reacts violently with chlorine, bromine, iodine, sulfur, phosphorus, arsenic, and oxidants, posing a risk of combustion and explosion.
Magnesium powder is mainly used as a reducing agent in the production of flash powder and lead alloys, and as a desulfurizer in metallurgy (when used as a desulfurizer raw material in the metallurgical industry, magnesium powder particles are wrapped with a layer of passivation agent to prevent oxidation of magnesium powder). In addition, it is used in organic synthesis, lighting agents, and so on. Mainly produced from electrolytic melted magnesium chloride and electrolytic melted dehydrated carnallite.
Application
Commonly used as reducing agent to replace titanium, zirconium, uranium, beryllium and other metals.
