Magnesium nitride is an inorganic compound composed of nitrogen and magnesium

Overview of magnesium nitride

Magnesium nitride is an inorganic compound composed of nitrogen and magnesium. It belongs to the cubic crystal system. It is a yellow-green powder under pure magnesium nitride at room temperature, but magnesium nitride containing a part of magnesium oxide impurities is off-white. Magnesium nitride, like many metal nitrides, reacts with water to produce ammonia. To prepare magnesium nitride, magnesium belts can be burned in nitrogen. Often used as a catalyst.

Magnesium nitride, like many metal nitrides, reacts with water to produce ammonia. To prepare magnesium nitride, magnesium belts can be burned in nitrogen. Slightly harmful to water bodies, do not expose undiluted or large amounts of products to groundwater, waterways or sewage systems, and do not discharge materials into the surrounding environment without government permission. Because magnesium nitride is easily combined with water (HO) to decompose, it needs to be stored in a vacuum-sealed, waterproof and moisture-proof.

Applications of Magnesium nitride

Magnesium nitride (Mg3N2) powder is a well-known solid catalyst used as an additive in many applications, including the manufacture of special alloys and ceramics, catalyzing polymer cross-linking reactions and hydrogen storage materials. Magnesium nitride has a very wide range of applications.

First of all, it can prepare nitrides of other elements with high hardness, high thermal conductivity, corrosion resistance, wear-resistance and high-temperature resistance. Secondly, special ceramic materials and special alloy foaming agents can be prepared. The third can be used to make special glass. The fourth is to catalyze polymer cross-linking. In addition, it can also be used for the recycling of nuclear waste. Finally, there are catalyst materials for synthetic diamond synthesis, cubic boron nitride catalyst materials, and additives for high-strength steel smelting.

As an additive, it has several uses. Magnesium nitride replaces the desulfurized magnesium in the smelting of construction steel, which is beneficial to increase the density, strength, tensile force and endurance of the steel, and increase the content of "alum" in the material, reaching the standard of high-quality construction steel proposed by the Chinese government. The use of magnesium nitride for desulfurization can reduce other additives in an appropriate amount, thereby helping to reduce the production cost of construction steel.

In addition, since magnesium nitride is a direct bandgap semiconductor, it has potential application value in the preparation of light-emitting diodes. In addition, Mg3N2 as an additive can effectively desulfurize and increase alum, so as to improve the density, strength, tensile force and bearing capacity of steel.

 In recent years, with the development of high-end products, mechanical and electrical products, the mechanical properties of magnesium based alloy requirements need to be further improved. The strength, elastic modulus, hardness and wear resistance of Mg-based alloy can be improved by using particle reinforced Mg-based alloy. At the same time, because of its low cost, high strength and stiffness, particle reinforced magnesium base alloy material have a wide application prospect in advanced manufacturing and other modern industrial production fields. The strength of magnesium base alloy material was enhanced by adding non-toxic and pollution-free magnesium nitride-nanotube particles to the magnesium base alloy material to obtain good toughness and hardness. At the same time, the electrical and thermal conductivity properties are effectively improved.
