Product Overview

Magnesium Oxide Carbon Composite (MgO-C) is a functional adsorption material produced by loading magnesium oxide onto a porous activated carbon matrix. The combination of MgO and activated carbon provides both chemical and physical treatment mechanisms, making the material suitable for water purification, gas treatment, decolorization processes, and catalyst support applications.

The activated carbon component offers a developed pore structure and large surface area for adsorption, while magnesium oxide contributes alkaline properties that enhance the removal of acidic compounds and selected contaminants. The composite structure helps maintain dispersion of MgO particles and improves contact efficiency between the material and the target pollutants.

MgO-C materials are available in powder, granular, and pelletized forms, with customizable MgO loading levels and pore structures to meet different industrial requirements.

Key Features

Combined Adsorption and Neutralization

The material combines physical adsorption from activated carbon with the alkaline reactivity of magnesium oxide, allowing multiple treatment mechanisms to occur simultaneously.

High Surface Area

The porous carbon structure provides a large contact area for pollutant removal and supports uniform distribution of MgO particles.

Decolorization Performance

Suitable for removing color compounds and organic impurities from process liquids, syrups, and industrial wastewater streams.

Acid Gas Removal Capability

The alkaline nature of magnesium oxide makes the material effective for adsorption and neutralization of acidic gases such as sulfur dioxide (SO₂).

Customizable Formulation

MgO loading ratio, particle size, pore volume, and physical form can be adjusted according to process requirements.
