Abstract

Surface area, total basicity and base strength distribution (weak, strong and intermediate strength basic sites) of magnesium oxide obtained from basic magnesium carbonate (by its decomposition at 873 K) prepared by precipitation using different magnesium slats, precipitating agents and precipitating conditions (viz. concentration of magnesium salt. pH, temperature, mode of mixing and ageing period) have been thoroughly investigated. The total basicity and base strength distribution of the different magnesium oxide samples have been determined by step-wise thermal desorption of carbon dioxide from 323 to 1253 K. The chemical composition of basic magnesium carbonate and the surface properties and carbon dioxide content of magnesium oxide are found to be strongly influenced by the aforementioned preparation conditions of basic magnesium carbonate.
