Magnesium trisilicate USP - Reference Information

EPA chemical information	Information provided by: ofmpub.epa.gov (external link)
overview	magnesium trisilicate, also known as "magnesium orthosilicate". The chemical formula is Mg 2 Si 3 O 8 nH 2 O, white orthorhombic crystal, melting point 1910 ℃, relative density 3.21 this product is insoluble in water or ethanol. Decomposition in concentrated alkali to generate Mg(OH)2, decomposition in hot hydrochloric acid to generate silicic acid and magnesium chloride, which can be decomposed by hydrofluoric acid. Forsterite minerals exist in nature. Due to the openness of the crystal structure of this product, it contains cavities and pores that penetrate each other and are connected to the outside world. It has a more developed pore structure and a large specific surface area, so it has better adsorption performance and molecular sieve function. It can provide specific molecular field force. In medicine, it can neutralize gastric acid. Although its effect is weak, it is slow and lasting, up to 4~5 hours. It is suitable for the treatment of gastric and duodenal ulcers, relieve symptoms caused by hyperacidity. In addition, it can also be used as processing aid and polyether adsorbent, which has the function of adsorption and decolorization. Because this product has broad application prospects in the fields of pharmaceutical intermediates, food additives, rubber fillers, deodorants and ceramic industries. Therefore, it has received increasing attention.
preparation process	Na2O · nSiO2 solution and Mg(NO3)2 solution with a certain concentration are respectively prepared by using foam alkali with a chemical pure modulus of 3.34 and chemically pure Mg(NO3)2 as raw materials. According to n(Si): n(Mg)= 2: 1, the Mg(NO3)2 solution is dripped into the N a2O · nSiO2 solution at a speed of 5 mL /min, and stirred at the same time. After mixing, white precipitate is obtained. After dropping, the mixed solution is still aged for 1.0 h, then filtered, washed and precipitated to neutral, and dried in an oven to obtain this product.
pharmacological action	this product is an antacid agent with slow and lasting action, no gas generation, can protect gastric mucosa, and has laxative and adsorption effects. Insoluble in water, can absorb free acid in the stomach and play the role of acid production. The effect of neutralizing gastric acid is weak, but it is slow and lasting, up to 4~5h. The laxative effect of magnesium-containing acids can lead to defecation. About 10% of magnesium can be absorbed from the intestine. When neutralizing gastric acid, it does not produce carbon dioxide and produces colloidal silica, which covers the surface of the ulcer and has a protective effect. And can adsorb intestinal endotoxins, bacteria and harmful gases. Large doses have a laxative effect. It is clinically used for hyperacidity and peptic ulcer.
use	this product is an antacid agent, which can neutralize gastric acid. its effect is slow and lasting, but it is slow and lasting, up to 4~5h, does not produce gas, can protect gastric mucosa, and has laxative and adsorption effects. It is suitable for treating stomach and duodenal ulcer and relieving symptoms caused by hyperacidity. It is used as an antacid in medicine. It can neutralize gastric acid and protect the ulcer surface, and its effect is slow and long-lasting. Can be used as deodorant and decolorant, etc. It can also be used in ceramic and rubber industries. Food grade is used as anti-caking agent, filter aid, coating agent. According to FAO/WHO(1984), the maximum amount of anti-caking agent used in powdered dairy products (milk powder, cream powder, high-fat milk powder, semi-cream powder) is 10 g/kg. It is used as a neutralizing acid agent and antacid agent, used in ceramics and rubber industry as a filler, and used in food industry as an anti-caking agent, filter aid, coating agent, etc. odor absorbent. decolorant. Antioxidant. TLC adsorbent. Column chromatography adsorbent.
