Magnesium carbonate

Magnesium carbonate, MgCO3, is an inorganic salt that is white solid. Several hydrated and basic forms of magnesium carbonate also exist as minerals.

The primary use of magnesium carbonate is the production of magnesium oxide by calcining. Magnesite and dolomite minerals are used to produce refractory bricks. Magnesium Carbonate is also used in flooring, fireproofing, fire extinguishing compositions, cosmetics, dusting powder, and toothpaste.

Other applications are as filler material, smoke suppressant in plastics, a reinforcing agent in neoprene rubber, a drying agent, a laxative to loosen the bowels, and color retention in foods. In addition, high purity magnesium carbonate is used as antacid and as an additive in table salt to keep it free flowing.

Magnesium carbonate, most often referred to as 'chalk', is used as a drying agent for hands in rock climbing, gymnastics, and weight lifting. As a food additive magnesium carbonate is known as E504.
