Ore in, first refinement out
Beneficiation removes what it can. What is left calcines to magnesium oxide, with calcium oxide riding along.
2.80 % CaO
Magnesium oxide
The industrial workhorse: high-reactivity caustic calcined magnesia at volume.
Under the lens

2.80 % CaO
The workhorse grade: caustic calcined, high reactivity, priced for tonnage.
97.5 % MgO typical
Quick-reacting on the citric acid test, not sustained-release, and self-limiting near pH 10.
20 to 30 seconds
Effluent neutralisation, mine water, hydrometallurgy, soil amendment. Volume work where pharmacopeial purity is money you do not get back.
