Magnesium silicate hydrate cement (MSHC), as an innovative low-carbon cementitious material, is considered a potential substitute for ordinary Portland cement (OPC). However, uncertainties in the ...

When heated, the minerals exchange ions and become magnesium oxide and calcium silicate, two alkaline minerals that quickly react to acidic CO 2 in the air. “The process acts as a multiplier ...

Using high-powered lasers, scientists have discovered that molten magnesium silicate undergoes a phase change in the liquid state, abruptly transforming to a more dense liquid with increasing ...

Food safety officials have suspended the FSSAI license of a KFC unit in Thoothukudi in Tamil Nadu following the alleged use of magnesium silicate-synthetic for purifying used oil, which is illegal.

TVA scientists are working on the Carolinas’ abundant magnesium silicate called olivine, of which 27% is recoverable magnesium (in contrast to sea water’s .1%).

The scientists also exposed the wet samples of calcium silicate and magnesium oxide directly to air, which has a much lower concentration of CO2 than pure CO2 from a tank.

Kanan and his colleague Yuxuan Chen, also at Stanford University, have developed a way to produce magnesium oxide and calcium silicate using a process inspired by cement production.

The US Food and Drug Administration is seeking information about the health risks of talc, or hydrous magnesium silicate, in food and drugs. Manufacturers voluntarily removed the common mineral ...

In a lab test where the calcium silicate and magnesium oxide were exposed to water and pure CO, the two materials transformed into carbonate minerals with carbon trapped inside within just two hours.
