From magnesium oxides

Figure 6.11 Scanning electron micrographs showing the microstructure of a cement formed from magnesium oxide and ammonium hydrogenphosphate solutions (Sugama Kukacka, 1983b).

Note that similar measurements were performed in [30] for the case of evaporation of defect atoms of lead from lead oxide, atoms of magnesium from magnesium oxide, and so on.

Derivation Prepared by adding a solution of magnesium styphnate (from magnesium oxide and styph-nic acid) to a lead salt solution. 

Since aerosolized reaction products surround the flame as dense white smoke, a complex relation exists between smoke formation and light. At our present state of the ait, a superior white-light source cannot do without the presence of whitesmoke from magnesium oxide and sodium oxide (formed from nitrate). By reflection of the light, such smoke can have some beneficial effect, but of course it will be detrimental for illumination. This is a physicochemical as well as a topical problem. The position of the flame, the ambient air currents, and the convective draft from the heat of the reaction combine to keep the flame visible or to obscure it. However, it has been indicated from theoretical consideration that the magnesium oxide within the flame...

The Sorbtech (formerly Sanitech) process is a regenerable, dry sorbent process that reportedly can remove over 90% of the SO2, 10-90% of the NOx, HCl, and much of the residual fine particulate from flue gas. The process, currently under development, uses new, inexpensive sorbents called Mag Sorbents made from magnesium oxide (MgO) and an expanded silicate carrier (vermiculite or perlite). A preliminary economic analysis has indicated a cost of 300— 400 per ton (1982 dollars) of SO2 removed (Nelson and Nelson, 1990).
