Heavy basic magnesium carbonates are used in pharmaceuticals as an inert vehicle and an adsorbent. Due to its fine texture and high absorbency, it is used in cosmetic manufacturing as a carrier and retainer of perfumes. It is also used in the rubber industry as a reinforcing agent and as an extender for titanium dioxide in paint, lithographing inks and as a precursor for other magnesium-based chemicals.

Rise in spending on lifestyle attributed to the rise in disposable income is boosting the demand for cosmetics, personal care products further propelling the magnesium carbonate market. Additionally, adoption of magnesium carbonate in various end-use industries like plastic, rubber, automotive, aerospace, and pharmaceuticals is expected to drive the market potentially. It is used as antacid and filler in other tablets. Additionally, it is used as primary raw material for production of magnesium oxide and other derivatives. This chemical is extensively demanded as smoke suppressant, drying agent and as filler material.

Environmentally friendly process

The raw materials used in the process are sea bittern, as source of magnesium and soda ash as a source of carbonate.

General process equipment like reactors, filter press, dryer etc

Economically feasible

Technology package is ready and would be provided to the party at the time of technology transfer.
