Gilsonite for Foundry Coke

Gilsonite for foundry coke is used as a binder for molds and sand cores. It improves the strength and durability of molds and also reduces the risk of burn-in defects during the casting process. Gilsonite can also be used as a coating for metal castings to improve their appearance and protect them from corrosion. In addition, it can be added to refractories to increase their thermal conductivity and improve their resistance to high temperatures. The general applications of Gilsonite [...]

Limestone Application

Limestone application is very wide due to compatibility in some industries. Limestone, one of the most abundant carbonate sedimentary minerals, is used in many industries and constructions. This mineral is composed of the main components calcite and aragonite and comprises about 10% of the sedimentary rocks of the Earth’s crust. Limestones are usually made from fossils of living organisms such as corals and contain other minerals such as silica and clay that are added to it by rivers. This [...]

Fluorspar Application

Fluorspar application in the hydrofluoric acid (HF) industry The reaction of fluorspar by CaF2 formula with sulfuric acid and heating in a furnace produces hydrogen fluoride (HF) gas and calcium sulfate. After purification by scrubbing, condensation, and distillation, the HF is sold as anhydrous HF, a colorless fuming liquid; or it may be absorbed to form aqueous acid, usually 70% HF. Synthetic cryolite, organic or inorganic fluoride chemicals, and elemental fluorine are made from hydrofluoric acid. The [...]

MEG Application

MEG Application as antifreeze When MEG dissolves in water, the hydrogen bond is broken. Monoethylene glycol freezes at a temperature of minus 12 degrees Celsius. This substance is added as an additive to car cooling systems and heating systems to prevent freezing. In other words, adding monoethylene glycol to water lowers the freezing point of the solution and the water does not freeze even at lower temperatures. This application is very important because in cold regions, water may freeze naturally [...]

MgCl2 Magnesium Chloride applications

MgCl2 Magnesium chloride applications as a natural salt that can be collected from coastal deposits and lakes. In its pure form, MgCI2 can be recognized as a powdery, odorless and colorless element that has a bitter taste. This compound dissolves easily in water and is mostly found in the hydrated state because it readily absorbs moisture from the air. Dust control on unpaved roads When the humidity is more than 32%, magnesium chloride will absorb water or moisture in the air [...]
