What is Magnesium Nitride?

Magnesium nitride, is a not natural substance with the chemical formula Mg3N2. It belongs to the cubic crystal system. At space temperature, pure magnesium nitride is a yellow-green powder, yet magnesium nitride including a portion of magnesium oxide contaminations is grayish white.

The molar mass of magnesium nitride is 100.95 g/mol. Its thickness is 2.712 g/cm3. Magnesium nitride is completely dissolved in acid and also water, but partially dissolved in ether and ethanol.

The melting point of magnesium nitride is 1500 degrees. Magnesium nitride, like many metal nitrides, reacts with water to generate ammonia. Frequently utilized as a catalyst. React with acid or aqueous nonmetallic oxides to develop ammonium salts and also magnesium salts.



Magnesium nitride is ceramic in nature. Magnesium nitride has high rust resistance and substantially boosts production performance. Magnesium nitride also has high thermal conductivity, in addition to high deterioration resistance and temperature resistance. Magnesium nitride has another excellent relevance due to the fact that it is made use of as a stimulant for the synthesis of boron nitrogen.



What is Magnesium Nitride Used For?

1. Used as a stimulant when prepare the nitride of other elements with high firmness, high thermal conductivity, deterioration resistance, use resistance as well as heat resistance. In the very first successful synthesis of cubic boron nitride, the driver was magnesium nitride.

2. Used for high strength steel smelting ingredients. Magnesium nitride (Mg3N2) changes desulphurized magnesium in building steel smelting, which is helpful to enhance the thickness, strength, stress and bearing pressure of steel. Furthermore, making use of magnesium nitride (Mg3N2) desulfurization, can lower the quantity of various other additives, hence assisting to reduce the manufacturing cost of building steel;

3. Used to prepare unique ceramic products;

4. For the manufacture of special alloy frothing representative;

5. For making unique glass;

6. For catalytic polymer crosslinking;

7. For the recycling of nuclear waste;



How to Produce Magnesium Nitride?

Today, the primary preparation approaches of magnesium nitride consist of direct response approach of magnesium powder with nitrogen, response approach of magnesium with nitrogen in nitrogen plasma circulation, magnesium coil explosion method in nitrogen environment, low pressure chemical gas corresponding product approach, self-propagating high temperature synthesis method, nano magnesium nitride synthesis technique, and so on.



Lately, G. Soto et al. ready amorphous magnesium nitride movies with different Mg ∶ N ratios on Si substrates in a molecular nitrogen environment by pulse laser deposition. These techniques restrict their commercial manufacturing as a result of high price, long process, complex equipment operation, or low yield of magnesium nitride.



Although the direct response of magnesium powder with nitrogen has industrial worth, the manufacturing of magnesium nitride powder needs greater response temperature level as well as longer reaction time, and the shape of bits is insufficient and easy to agglomerate, which can not meet the needs of commercial top quality. NH3 can be disintegrated into N- with damaged bonds extra quickly than N2, and the broken down H2 can inhibit the development of MgO, so ammonia gas can be utilized as the nitrogen resource. Chen Faqin et al. made use of liquid ammonia as nitrogen source to prepare magnesium nitride powder by straight nitriding of magnesium powder. The complying with verdicts might be drawn: Through thermodynamic analysis, fluid ammonia can react with magnesium powder much more conveniently than nitrogen to prepare magnesium nitride; High top quality magnesium nitride powder with high pureness and consistent powder particles can be prepared at 600 ℃ and also ammonia atmosphere for 1h, then heated to 800 ℃, ammonia flow price of 500ml/min as well as nitriding time of 1h.
