Description

Magnesite is a mineral that consists of magnesium carbonate. It is usually found in metamorphic rocks and is known for its white to gray color. Magnesite is used in various industries, including refractories, cement production, and as a source of magnesium oxide.

In refractory applications, magnesite is used due to its high melting point and resistance to heat and corrosion. It is also utilized in the production of magnesium metal and as a raw material for the manufacturing of magnesium oxide, which has applications in the production of fertilizers, animal feed, and environmental applications.
