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 ...

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.

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.

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 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.

The scientists found that pure amorphous magnesium silicate is nearly as dense as crystalline bridgmanite. It would likely be even denser, however, deep in Earth where iron would chemically ...

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 ...
