The invention discloses medicinal light
magnesium oxide and a preparation method thereof, and relates to the technical field of preparation of medicinal auxiliary materials. The preparation method comprises the following steps: S1, primarily calcining
magnesite to prepare light calcined magnesia; s2, digesting light calcined magnesia to prepare
magnesium hydroxide slurry; s3, carbonizing the
magnesium hydroxide slurry to prepare a
magnesium bicarbonate solution; s4, preparing basic magnesium
carbonate through
pyrolysis and concentration; and S5, preparing the light magnesium
oxide by secondary
calcination: carrying out secondary
calcination on the basic magnesium
carbonate prepared in the previous step at 650-750 DEG C for 3-4 hours to obtain a calcined product, namely the light magnesium
oxide, and then crushing and packaging the light magnesium oxide. According to the preparation method, by accurately controlling the secondary
calcination temperature and time of basic magnesium
carbonate, especially by stepwise controlling the temperature rise speed and heat preservation time of the secondary calcination temperature, the
generation rate and specific surface area of magnesium oxide grains in the product are controlled, so that the
ethanol adsorption capacity of light magnesium oxide is greater than or equal to 1.8 g / g, and the light magnesium oxide has a good
ethanol adsorption capacity. Further, the requirements of pharmaceutic adjuvants with high
ethanol adsorption capacity can be met, and the product is high in purity and uniform in
particle size distribution.
