Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9908962A1] A method for producing a stabilized magnesium hydroxide slurry involving wet milling a starting magnesium hydroxide slurry. Also disclosed is a stabilized magnesium hydroxide slurry produced by the method and magnesia-based products produced from the wet milled magnesium hydroxide slurry. Washed magnesium hydroxide slurry is either (a) fed directly to a wet mill (1) at a controlled rate for particle size reduction, or (b) introduced to a disk filter (2) to increase percent solids to greater than about 60 %. If the disk filter (2) is used, the discharge is directed to a pug mill (3). Flow is recycled within the pug mill (3) through high-shear mixer (4). The pug mill discharge is collected in purge tank (5). A pump (6) is used to withdraw slurry from surge tank (5) and feed wet mill (1) at a controlled rate which rate dictates residence time in wet mill (1). This rate can be altered to control particles size reduction. The milled slurry is collected in storage tank (7).
