Along with the gypsum, magnesite accumulations can be found in salt-bearing sedimentary rocks, and are found in magmatic ultrabasic altered rocks (weathering occurs practically without impurities, while metamorphic occurs along with talc). But the most important industrial deposits of this mineral are associated with metamorphosed dolomites. This type of mineral is found in many countries, including the Precambrian strata of the USSR (Savinsky in the Eastern Sayan, Talskoye in the Yenisei Ridge, Satkinsky in the Urals) - here there are especially large stones, except for this, and are found in Brazil, North Korea, the northeast part of China.
Application. Mineral if subjected to roasting at 1000 o C, then it will lose from 92% to 94% of carbon dioxide and turn into a powdery chemically active mass - caustic magnesia. Such a mass is used in cooking pulp, in magnesia cementitious cements, in the production of synthetic rubbers, thermal insulation, viscose, plastics, as fertilizers, in the stages of chemical processing.
And if the firing temperature is increased to 1500-1650 o C, then burnt magnesia with low chemical activity will be obtained, but high refractoriness up to 2800 o C. It is mainly used in metallurgy.
If the magnesite is placed in an electric furnace, it is possible to obtain a fused periclase, which is then used in ceramics, and also as a heat-resistant electrical insulating material.
