Magnesium Oxide Powder to South Africa Market

Star Grace has been in the African market for many years. South Africa, Egypt, Sudan, Kenya, and Ethiopia are our main markets. Magnesium oxide powder to South Africa market is recommended to be used in the following fields:

1. In the feed industry, magnesium oxide is an important source of magnesium for rumen buffers and dairy supplements. Magnesium deficiency in cattle and sheep can lead to a condition called grass tetany. Feed supplements and mineral premixes are commonly used to provide the necessary levels of magnesium to the animals to prevent grass tetany.

2. In the hydrometallurgy industry, magnesium oxide is used to precipitate the hydroxides of metals such as nickel (Ni), cobalt (Co), or uranium (U) from acid leachate solutions of their respective ores.

3. In civil engineering, due to the high capacity of absorbing water through a hydration reaction that transforms magnesium oxide to magnesium hydroxide (Mg(OH)2). In addition, both of them have the capacity to stabilize and regulate the rheological properties of various suspensions, mainly those that contain bentonite. MgO suspensions are used to improve the soil coherence in specific civil engineering applications such as tunnels (wall stabilization), road construction, and drilling muds.
