Light Burned Magnesia
Light-burned magnesium oxide, also known as caustic calcined magnesia, is produced by heating magnesium carbonate or magnesium hydroxide at moderate temperatures. It is widely used in industries for applications like refractory materials, agricultural fertilizers, and as a pH modifier in water treatment due to its high purity and alkalinity.

CLIRIK offers a comprehensive range of light burned magnesia crushing and grinding systems. Our technology is designed to optimize your production efficiency, significantly reduce specific energy consumption, and meet the most stringent manufacturing requirements for various light burned magnesia-based products.

Material Introduction
Light Burned Magnesia (LBM), also known as Caustic Calcined Magnesia (CCM), primarily consists of magnesium oxide (MgO). It is produced by heating magnesite (MgCO₃) at temperatures between 700°C and 1000°C, a process that expels carbon dioxide while maintaining a porous, high-surface-area micro-structure.
The most defining industrial characteristic of light burned magnesia is its chemical reactivity. Unlike dead-burned magnesia, it retains a high degree of activity, allowing it to react quickly with water or salt solutions to form strong hydraulic bonds. In its powdered form, it exhibits a white to yellowish appearance and high alkalinity. Its performance as a functional material is heavily dependent on its particle size consistency, which governs the rate of hydration and the ultimate strength of magnesium-based compounds in construction and environmental engineering.

Ground Calcium Carbonate (GCC)
Ground Calcium Carbonate (GCC) is produced by the mechanical pulverization of natural minerals like limestone or marble. Since it involves no chemical transformation, it retains the mineral’s original stability but features an irregular, fragmented structure.

Key Properties: High density, low oil absorption, and excellent flowability.

Industrial Value: Used as a “functional filler” in plastics, rubber, and coatings. It increases volume and hardness while allowing high loading levels to significantly reduce production costs.

Precipitated Calcium Carbonate (PCC)
Precipitated Calcium Carbonate (PCC), or light calcium carbonate, is a synthetic compound produced through a chemical carbonation process. By calcining limestone and reacting it with CO₂, manufacturers can precisely control the particle morphology to create specific shapes like spindles, spheres, or needles.

Key Properties: Ultra-high whiteness, narrow particle size distribution, and high sedimentation volume.

Industrial Value: Its microporous structure and large specific surface area make it ideal for high-end paper, specialized paints, and pharmaceuticals requiring reinforcement and superior brightness.
