Antacid and Laxative: One of the most well-known applications of Magnesium Hydroxide is as an antacid. It is used to relieve heartburn, indigestion, and upset stomach by neutralizing excess stomach acid. It also serves as a mild laxative, helping to relieve constipation by drawing water into the intestines and promoting bowel movements.
Wastewater Treatment: In wastewater treatment, it is used to adjust pH levels and remove impurities by precipitating and flocculating contaminants.
Magnesium Salts Production: It serves as a precursor in the production of various magnesium compounds, such as magnesium oxide and magnesium sulfate.
Environmental Remediation: Magnesium Hydroxide is used to neutralize acidic mine drainage and treat industrial wastewater to reduce environmental impact.
Pharmaceuticals: It may be used as an ingredient in certain pharmaceutical preparations for its antacid and laxative properties.
Ink and Paper Industry: It can be used in the ink and paper industry as a filler and pigment.
Dental Care: In dental products, it is used in oral care formulations such as toothpaste and mouthwash.
Deodorants: In personal care products, it can be used in deodorants and antiperspirants.
