The storage process of magnesium hydroxide involves complex physical and chemical changes, requiring comprehensive consideration of environmental factors, packaging technology, and safety management. The correct storage method not only ensures stable material properties, but also effectively prevents safety risks, which is of great significance for industrial production and laboratory research.
Environmental control is a key factor in the storage of magnesium hydroxide. Research has shown that relative humidity exceeding 60% significantly accelerates the deliquescence process of magnesium hydroxide. The ideal storage environment should maintain a relative humidity of below 40% and a temperature controlled between 15-25 ℃. Experimental data shows that under these conditions, the quality loss rate of stored magnesium hydroxide can be controlled within 0.2% within one year. The storage area should be equipped with a constant temperature and humidity system, and regular environmental monitoring should be conducted.
Packaging technology directly affects storage effectiveness. Suggest using a double-layer packaging system: use moisture-proof aluminum foil bags for the inner packaging, and fill them with dry nitrogen gas; The outer packaging should be made of plastic drums or galvanized iron drums with good sealing properties. Comparative experiments have shown that magnesium hydroxide packaged in this way has a water content that is over 80% lower than that of regular packaging. For materials stored for a long time, it is recommended to place desiccants inside the packaging and replace them regularly.
It is recommended that enterprises establish a comprehensive storage management system, conduct regular safety assessments and emergency drills to ensure the safety and controllability of the storage process.
