What is Magnesium Nitride Powder?
Magnesium nitride is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula Mg3N2. It belongs to the cubic crystal system. It is a yellow-green powder under pure magnesium nitride at room temperature, but magnesium nitride containing a part of magnesium oxide impurities is gray-white. Magnesium nitride, like many metal nitrides, reacts with water to produce ammonia and is often used as a catalyst.
The characteristics of Magnesium Nitride Powder
The chemical formula is Mg3N2. Molecular weight 100.95. Green-yellow to yellow-orange loose powder. Relative density 2.71225. Soluble in acid, insoluble in ethanol. 800℃ and decomposes in water. Sublimation at 700°C in vacuum. In the air, it is decomposed into Mg(OH)2 and NH3. Preparation method: Mg(NH2)2 can be obtained by reacting magnesium with nitrogen at high temperature, or by passing ammonia into the ether solution of MgEt2, and then heating the latter to red heat to decompose. Uses: Used to measure the moisture in alcohol-containing fuels. Magnesium nitride is an inorganic compound with a wide range of applications. It can be used to prepare nitrides of other elements with high hardness, high thermal conductivity, corrosion resistance, wear resistance and high temperature resistance, and to prepare special ceramic materials.

The applications of Magnesium Nitride Powder
1. It is used as a catalyst when preparing nitrides of other elements with high hardness, high thermal conductivity, corrosion resistance, wear resistance and high temperature resistance. When the cubic boron nitride was successfully synthesized for the first time, the catalyst used was magnesium nitride;
2. Additives for high-strength steel smelting. Magnesium nitride (Mg3N2) replaces desulfurized magnesium in the smelting of construction steel, which is beneficial to improve the density, strength, tensile force and bearing capacity of steel. In addition, the use of magnesium nitride (Mg3N2) for desulfurization can reduce other additives in an appropriate amount, thereby helping to reduce the production cost of construction steel;
3. Preparation of special ceramic materials;
4. Foaming agent for the manufacture of special alloys;
5. Used in the manufacture of special glass;
6. Catalytic polymer cross-linking;
7. Recycling of nuclear waste.
