According to the study “Europe
Brucite Industry Situation and Prospects Research report”, it was
observed that brucite applications in Europe are increasing drastically. The
major advantage of Brucite is that it does not containing carbon dioxide and no
gases are released during calcinations process. Therefore, there is an increasing
demand for the mineral, metal and high-grade brucite deposits that is encouraging
scientists to discover more exploration targets within the next few years. Brucite
is a industrial mineral that can be used in dead-burned magnesia production, as
functional filler in plastic compounds, smoke retardant, as electric wire
insulation, carpet backing, waste-water treatment, agricultural feed, dietary
magnesium supplement, odour controller, and in specialty cement preparations as
an additive to Portland cements. It is one of the key minerals in effluent
treatment as a neutralizing reactant.
Brucite is a form of natural magnesium
and is used for various commercial purposes and also as a fire retardant. Brucite is extracted from magnesium
hydroxide. The commercial and industrial brucite is chemically manufactured
from sea water or brine. Magnesium hydroxide is known as milk of magnesia owing
to its milk-like appearance and it is less soluble in water. Synthetic brucite
is mainly consumed as magnesia (MgO) which is a useful refractory insulator
used for industrial applications. Brucite thermally decomposes to release water
and constitutes as a significant source of magnesia for industrial use. The physical properties of brucite are its lusty, transparent
crystal, gets associated with other minerals, flexible, inelastic nature and it
is either white or colourless with shades of grey, blue and green.
Brucite is also used in the pharmaceutical
industry as antiperspirant deodorant and there is an increasing consumption
amongst the younger generation. The pharmaceutical industry is growing at a
very high rate and hence the demand for antiperspirant deodorant products will
increase drastically. Another largest end user for brucite is in
desulphurization and water treatment industries. Brucite possesses flame
retardant properties and it is a fast growing application in Europe due to its
performance, price, low corrosiveness and its extremely low toxicity.
Various Brucite product type available in
European market are ball type, block type, and fiber type. Brucite is used in
various industrial applications such as flame retardant, paper packing, arts,
crafts, refractory manufacturing and other industries. All the leading vendors
in European brucite industry are increasingly focusing on creating strong brand
names, offering well-established products, and exhibit long-term reliability. The
leading vendors in Europe’s brucite industry are Magnezit, Russian Mining
Chemical, Garrison Minerals, Premier Magnesia, Dandong Jinyuan, Dandong
Xinyang, Dandong C.L.M., Dandong Yongfeng, Dandong Xinda, and Shanxi Tianbao.
Geographically, European brucite industry is spread across Germany, Russia, UK,
France, Italy and other regions.
Europe accounts for a largest share in the brucite
industry due to enhanced living standards and ongoing industrialization. The
increasing consumption of brucite for various applications is encouraging the market
towards expansion in various sectors attracting huge recognition and this trend
will continue over the next few years in European markets.
