Magnesium hydroxide Uses

 Magnesium hydroxide is used industrially as a non-hazardous alkali to neutralise acidic wastewaters. Magnesium hydroxide takes part in the Biorock method of building artificial reefs. Magnesium hydroxide , in the form of Milk of Magnesia , is used as an antacid to neutralize stomach acid, and a laxative. The diarrhea caused by magnesium hydroxide carries away much of the body's supply of potassium, and failure to take extra potassium may lead to muscle cramps. In addition it can be used as a non antiperspirant underarm (armpit) deodorant. It is also used in bleaching solutions to whiten clothes.
 

Magnesium hydroxide Production

 Magnesium hydroxide is commercially available and there is no need to prepare it in the laboratory.
 Magnesium hydroxide can be precipitated by the metathesis reaction between magnesium salts and sodium, potassium, or ammonium hydroxide:
Mg2+ (aq) + 2 OH (aq) → Mg(OH)2 (s)
