Description
A processed mineral that is primarily composed of magnesium oxide (88-94%). Calcined magnesite is produced by the calcining of magnesium carbonate (natural magnesite) or magnesium hydroxide. It is one of the materials used to make oxychloride cement. Note that natural magnesite is a chemically different compound.
