Process Flowchart for Magnesium Hydroxide

Brines + NaOH → Mg(OH)2 (Baking)

Mg(OH)2 = Magnesium Hydroxide

Process Flowchart for Magnesium Oxide and Magnesium Carbonate

Brines + Na2CO3 → MgCO3  (Baking)

MgCO3+Heat → MgO + CO2 (Calcinating)

MgCO3= Magnesium Carbonate, or Magnetite

MgO=Magnesium Oxide, or Magnesia
