Basic Information

Magnesium Carbonate
MgCO3

Magnesium carbonate is a magnesium compound occurring naturally as magnesite and also produced synthetically. Hydrated forms, including the trihydrate, are distinct from the anhydrous material. Industrial uses include flooring, fireproofing compositions, plastics fillers, smoke-suppressant formulations, and neoprene reinforcement; it also serves as a drying ingredient and a precursor for other magnesium compounds.

Widely Recognized Compound:An important magnesium compound with established applications across industries.


Product Description of Magnesium Carbonate CAS#546-93-0

Magnesium carbonate (MgCO3, pKso = 7.5–8.2) is an important magnesium compound that occurs naturally as the mineral magnesite. However, the magnesium carbonate used in the United States is predominantly synthetically manufactured.

It is mainly obtained through the mining of natural magnesite. The trihydrate form, MgCO3·3H2O, is prepared by mixing magnesium and carbonate ion solutions in the presence of carbon dioxide.


Product Application of Magnesium Carbonate CAS#546-93-0

Magnesium carbonate has a wide range of applications across multiple industries. It is used in flooring materials, fireproofing, and fire-extinguishing compositions; as a filler and smoke suppressant in plastics; as a reinforcing agent in neoprene rubber; and as a drying agent and color-retention additive in foods and cosmetics.

In medicine, magnesium carbonate serves as an antacid and is also added to table salt. Additionally, it is an important starting material for the production of various magnesium compounds.
