white powder, odorless, tasteless. The appearance and physical properties are similar to those of magnesium oxide. Insoluble in water, but slowly loses oxygen in the air. Hydrogen peroxide is produced in the presence of dilute acid. Stable at room temperature, heating time to oxygen and magnesium oxide, the temperature of 3 7 5 deg C when completely decomposed.
It is used as an antacid agent and an anti-fermentation agent in medicine, and is suitable for treating dyspepsia, hyperacidity, abdominal distension and other diseases. As wool, silk fabric bleaching agent, can also be used as cosmetics and water Disinfection fungicide, bleaching agent.

use | used as a disactant and antileavening agent in medicine, as well as a disinfectant and bleaching agent for water as a bleaching agent for wool and silk fabrics, general bleaching agent, fungicide and oxidant. It is used in medicine as an acid solution and an anti-fermentation agent, suitable for the treatment of indigestion, hyperacidity, abdominal distension and other diseases. Used as oxidant, bleaching agent and fungicide Used as an acid dissolving agent and antileavening agent in medicine, and can also be used as water disinfection and bleaching agent |
production method | light magnesium oxide method light magnesium oxide reacts with hydrogen peroxide slurry, and after drying, magnesium peroxide is prepared. Its MgO H2O2 = MgO2 H2O soluble magnesium salt method is to make soluble magnesium salt into emulsion, then react with hydrogen peroxide, filter and concentrate to produce magnesium peroxide. |
