What is Magnesium Nitride?

Magnesium nitride, is a not natural substance with the chemical formula Mg3N2. It comes from the cubic crystal system. At room temperature level, pure magnesium nitride is a yellow-green powder, but magnesium nitride including a section of magnesium oxide contaminations is grayish white.

The molar mass of magnesium nitride is 100.95 g/mol. Its density is 2.712 g/cm3. Magnesium nitride is entirely dissolved in acid and water, but partly dissolved in ether as well as ethanol.

The melting factor of magnesium nitride is 1500 degrees. Magnesium nitride, like several steel nitrides, reacts with water to generate ammonia. Frequently made use of as a catalyst. React with acid or liquid nonmetallic oxides to form ammonium salts as well as magnesium salts.



Magnesium nitride is ceramic in nature. Magnesium nitride has high corrosion resistance and greatly improves production efficiency. Magnesium nitride likewise has high thermal conductivity, in addition to high corrosion resistance and temperature resistance. Magnesium nitride has one more wonderful value because it is utilized as a catalyst for the synthesis of boron nitrogen.



What is Magnesium Nitride Used For?

1. Made use of as a driver when prepare the nitride of various other elements with high firmness, high thermal conductivity, corrosion resistance, put on resistance and also heat resistance. In the first successful synthesis of cubic boron nitride, the stimulant was magnesium nitride.

2. Used for high strength steel smelting additives. Magnesium nitride (Mg3N2) replaces desulphurized magnesium in building and construction steel smelting, which is valuable to boost the thickness, stamina, tension and also birthing pressure of steel. Furthermore, the use of magnesium nitride (Mg3N2) desulfurization, can decrease the quantity of various other ingredients, hence aiding to lower the manufacturing price of building and construction steel;

3. Utilized to prepare unique ceramic materials;

4. For the manufacture of special alloy lathering representative;

5. For manufacturing special glass;

6. For catalytic polymer crosslinking;

7. For the recycling of nuclear waste;



How to Produce Magnesium Nitride?

Today, the main prep work methods of magnesium nitride include straight response approach of magnesium powder with nitrogen, reaction method of magnesium with nitrogen in nitrogen plasma circulation, magnesium coil explosion technique in nitrogen ambience, low pressure chemical gas complementary product method, self-propagating heat synthesis method, nano magnesium nitride synthesis method, etc.



Recently, G. Soto et al. prepared amorphous magnesium nitride movies with various Mg ∶ N proportions on Si substrates in a molecular nitrogen setting by pulse laser deposition. These methods restrict their commercial manufacturing because of high cost, lengthy procedure, complicated tools procedure, or low return of magnesium nitride.



Although the direct reaction of magnesium powder with nitrogen has industrial value, the manufacturing of magnesium nitride powder requires higher response temperature level and also longer response time, and the form of fragments is incomplete and easy to agglomerate, which can not satisfy the demands of commercial high quality. NH3 can be decomposed into N- with busted bonds more conveniently than N2, as well as the decomposed H2 can inhibit the formation of MgO, so ammonia gas can be used as the nitrogen source. Chen Faqin et al. used fluid ammonia as nitrogen resource to prepare magnesium nitride powder by straight nitriding of magnesium powder. The adhering to verdicts can be attracted: Through thermodynamic evaluation, liquid ammonia can react with magnesium powder much more quickly than nitrogen to prepare magnesium nitride; High high quality magnesium nitride powder with high pureness and also consistent powder fragments can be prepared at 600 ℃ and also ammonia ambience for 1h, then heated up to 800 ℃, ammonia flow rate of 500ml/min and nitriding time of 1h.
