Among many inorganic compounds, aluminum hydroxide and magnesium hydroxide are two important alkaline hydroxides, which are widely used in medicine, chemical industry, environmental protection and other fields.
Magnesium hydroxide is a common chemical compound with the formula Mg(OH)₂, widely used in medicine (as an antacid), wastewater treatment, and as a flame retardant.
Flame retardants play a crucial role in preventing or slowing the spread of fire in various materials, from plastics and textiles to construction components. Among these, magnesium hydroxide (Mg(OH)₂) has gained recognition as an effective, environmentally friendly flame retardant.
