What is magnesium hydroxide slurry?
Magnesium hydroxide slurry is a non-hazardous chemical that is used in wastewater treatment to provide alkalinity and pH adjustment, among other benefits. It is the same chemical as in Milk of Magnesia, only much more concentrated. It provides more alkalinity than sodium hydroxide or soda ash, at a lower cost. Its cost stability, safety, and performance enhancements over lime and sodium-based products are making magnesium hydroxide the chemical of choice for many wastewater plants.
