Industrial - Chemicals
Hydrometallurgy - Mining
Caustic Calcined Magnesite (CCM, Magnesium Oxide) is either used to precipitate metals such as Ni, Co and U out of the acid leach solutions in certain hydrometallurgical production processes or for the purification of such solutions.

Heating Elements
Electrical grade magnesia (EGM) powder is used as electrical insulation filler between the coil and the outer sheath in heating elements. EGM has good thermal conductivity and high electrical resistivity at elevated temperatures.

Mineral Insulated Cables
Mineral insulated cable is made by placing copper rods inside a circular copper tube and filling the intervening spaces with dry magnesium oxide powder. The overall assembly is then pressed between rollers to reduce its diameter and increase its length.

Fuel additives
MgO (Magnesium Oxide, Caustic Calcined Magnesite) is used in the production of fuel and lubricant additives and specifically in the production of over-based magnesium sulphonates and carboxylates which serve as ash and corrosion management detergents (capture and pacification of vanadium, nickel and sulphur compounds) in gas turbines and motors.
