Magnesite is a carbonate of Magnesium (MgCO3), which is known as "Raw magnesite". This Raw Material as such is not used in any Industry except in Chemical Industry in small quantity. Magnesite when heated to 800°C to 1000°C all the CO2 content in it is driven off, the residue so obtained is known as Calcined Magnesite (MgO). |
