Hebei Messi Biology Co., Ltd. stated that in the past 10 years, the annual production capacity of magnesium oxide in the world has grown rapidly. It is understood that the main reason for the increase in production capacity is that in the rubber industry, the use of magnesium oxide as a vulcanization promoter has increased significantly; secondly, the rapid development of industrial sectors such as plastics, medicine, paint, coatings, and food has also driven the rapid development of the magnesium oxide industry.
In the process of meeting the scale demand of downstream application industries, magnesium oxide manufacturers have gradually realized that the refined production method of products is the best way to improve the market competitiveness of products and achieve corporate economic benefits. The degree of industrial scale development and product refinement has become one of the important indicators of the development level of a country’s magnesium oxide industry.
How to achieve the scale development and product refinement of a country or region’s magnesium oxide industry?
Hebei Messi Biology Co., Ltd. stated that magnesium oxide, as a typical energy-saving, green and environmentally friendly mineral material, has extremely wide applications and is also an important factor in achieving a low-carbon economy and society. my country is one of the countries in the world that produces high-quality dolomite and magnesite. Domestic high-quality dolomite resources are mainly distributed in Liaoning, Hebei, Shanxi, Qinghai and other places.
Due to the regional differences in resource distribution, the grade of the original ore is also different, so the uses and application industries of the magnesium oxide products produced are also different. In order to achieve refined product production and realize the economic benefits of the enterprise, it is recommended that magnesium oxide enterprises develop practical characteristics or functional magnesium oxide powders that meet the application of downstream industries according to the characteristics of their raw material resources, so as to increase the added value of resources or products.
Although my country has abundant mineral resources, high-quality resources are limited after all. In the process of resource development and utilization, it is recommended that magnesium oxide production enterprises combine market demand and differences in the grade of original ore to make reasonable use of raw materials as much as possible (such as reasonable matching of large blocks with scraps and crushed stones). In this way, it can not only solve the waste of resources and pollution caused by mining, but also maximize the economic benefits of enterprises.
Hebei Messi Biology Co., Ltd. stated that the development of the scale of magnesium oxide industry and the refinement of products will help solve the problems existing in the development and utilization of calcite and other resources in my country:
(1) The excessive exploitation of resources is serious, and the problems of “small, scattered and disorderly” are common;
(2) Extensive processing of resources has not been effectively utilized with high added value;
(3) The problem of high-quality raw ore resources and low-end products being shipped out is prominent.
Hebei Messi Biology Co., Ltd. stated that although magnesium oxide has a wide range of applications, the development of my country’s magnesium oxide industry is restricted by many factors in practice:
(1) Low product quality. my country’s magnesium oxide production scale is small and the technical level is low. Most of the magnesium oxide produced is a “general” product with low standards and few varieties. It is mainly manifested in poor product quality, high energy consumption and low level of automatic control. Most factories still rely on manual operation and produce a fine chemical product with a long process flow and very strict quality requirements as a common chemical raw material. The product quality is unstable. It can only be suitable for the low-end product market and is not suitable for development and competition.
(2) Magnesium ore mining is relatively lagging behind. Although my country is one of the countries with the richest magnesium resources in the world, more than 90% of magnesium ore coexists with other rocks and has a complex composition, which leads to a lower grade of magnesium ore and difficulty in mining. In addition, my country’s mining technology is relatively backward and the degree of mechanization is low, resulting in serious waste of magnesium resources.
(3) Environmental protection pressure restricts the sustainable development of the entire industry. The “three wastes” generated in the production process of magnesium oxide in my country have become a fatal constraint on magnesium oxide production. From 2004 to 2005, many magnesium oxide companies that failed to meet the emission standards of “three wastes” have been exposed and dealt with by the State Environmental Protection Administration and provincial and local government departments. The measures taken include limited production, suspension of production and closure. The National Development and Reform Commission has formulated an industrial development regulation policy, which has also strictly restricted the blind expansion of the domestic magnesium oxide industry, making the expansion rate of the industry’s production capacity far lower than expected. The actual growth rate of magnesium oxide production in the country is also much lower than in previous years.
(4) The product structure is unreasonable and the contradiction between supply and demand is prominent. Judging from the quantity alone, the supply and demand of magnesium oxide in my country is basically balanced. However, in terms of product variety, there is too much ordinary magnesium oxide and too little high-purity magnesium oxide and nano-magnesium oxide, resulting in my country’s magnesium oxide industry being in a low-level environment for a long time.
