The influence of hydrating agents on the hydration of industrial magnesium oxide

Matabola, Kgabo B.; Strydom, Christien A.; Van der Merwe, Elizabet M.; Labuschagne, Frederick J.W. (Wiley, 2010)

BACKGROUND: The influence of different hydrating agents on the pH of the hydrating solutions, rate of hydration of MgO to Mg(OH)2 and product surface area was studied as a function of temperature of hydration. Hydrating ...
Influence of hydration time on the hydration of MgO in water and in a magnesium acetate solution

Aphane, M.E.; Strydom, C.A.; Van der Merwe, E.M. (Springer, 2009)

The time required for maximum hydration of MgO obtained from the calcination of magnesite was determined. The MgO samples were hydrated for different time intervals in both water and magnesium acetate. A thermogravimetric ...
