silver-white metal (hexagonal system). Melting point 648.5 °c. Boiling point 1107 °c. Relative density 1_74. Soluble in inorganic acids, ammonium salts, insoluble in cold water, chromic anhydride, alkali. In hot water decomposition of magnesium hydroxide. No loss of gloss in dry air, but in moist air
Oxidized to gray oxide film. The block is stable at room temperature, but the powder and debris are dangerous for fire, and attention should be paid to the treatment. In the case of high temperature, the bulk is easy to oxidize and burn, and the heat treatment and the like should be performed under the protection of sulfur dioxide or sulfur hexafluoride atmosphere.
for the manufacture of pyrotechnic and signal flares. It is used as a reducing agent, making flash powder, lead alloy, as a sulfur removal agent and a purifying agent in metallurgy, and in addition, it is used as a dehydrating agent for organic synthesis or an organic compound for preparing magnesium directly from magnesium powder. Especially in recent years, magnesium powder is used more and more in the spraying and anti-corrosion industry, and it is also used in the single crystal silicon, polycrystalline silicon and Metallurgical Powder die casting.
wet combustible. Risk code: GB4.3 class 43012. UN N0 1418; IMDG code 4.3, Class 2. Packed with an iron drum, an aluminum drum or a woven bag lined with a polyethylene plastic bag, tie the mouth of the plastic bag tightly and seal it. Aluminum or iron barrels should be strong and sealed. The inner surface of the packaging barrel made of black iron skin shall be coated with aluminum powder, and the outer surface shall be painted. Woven bags should be strong and durable and can prevent static electricity. The package is marked with "flammable" and "moisture-proof. Should be stored in a cool, ventilated, dry warehouse. It shall not be stored in combination with inorganic acids and flammable materials. During the transport process to prevent rain and sun exposure, and the transport tools to do a good job of anti-static protection, not allowed to fire close. When loading and unloading should be light, no collision, to prevent packaging damage. Magnesium dust can cause Dyspnea, chest pain, Cough, diffuse pulmonary interstitial fibrosis with emphysema. Production personnel should wear work clothes, masks and other labor protection products, to protect the respiratory organs and skin. The equipment should be closed, and the production workshop should be well ventilated. When there is a fire, it is strictly prohibited to use water, foam, carbon dioxide, and dry sand. During the rescue, the skin of the eyes should be protected to avoid burning of the body and the visual acuity with magnesium light.
