I-Magnesium oxide, eyaziwa kakhulu ngokuthi i-periclase, ithole ukunakwa okukhulu ngenxa yokusetshenziswa kwayo okubanzi ezimbonini ezahlukahlukene. Le mpuphu emhlophe ekristalu inezakhiwo ezihlukile ezenza ibe yigugu kakhulu emakethe yanamuhla.

Enye yezindlela ezivelele zokusebenzisa i-magnesium oxide njengezinto ezivimbela ukugqwala. Isetshenziswa kakhulu ekukhiqizeni izitini, amathayili, nezinye izinto ezingamelana namazinga okushisa aphezulu. Lesi sici siyenza ibe yingxenye ebalulekile ezimbonini ezifana nokwakha, izinto zobumba, kanye nokukhiqizwa kwengilazi.

Ngaphezu kwezimfanelo zayo zokumelana nokushisa, i-magnesium oxide isebenza njengesivikelo esinamandla. Isetshenziswa embonini kagesi ekukhiqizeni izintambo zikagesi, ama-switchgear, namaphaneli okushisa. Ngaphezu kwalokho, isetshenziswa futhi njengesivimbeli somlilo embonini yepulasitiki, okuthuthukisa izici zokuphepha zemikhiqizo ehlukahlukene.

Izakhiwo zamakhemikhali ze-magnesium oxide ziyenza ibe yisithako esibalulekile emikhiqizweni eminingi yezimonyo neyemithi. Amandla ayo okumunca umswakama namafutha ayenza ibe yisithako esisebenzayo emikhiqizweni yokunakekelwa kwesikhumba efana namamaski obuso kanye nokuhlanza umzimba. Ngaphezu kwalokho, isetshenziswa njengesengezo sokudla ukusiza ukugaya ukudla nokuqeda ukuqunjelwa.

Esinye isici esiphawulekayo se-magnesium oxide sisembonini yokudla. Sisetshenziswa njenge-ejenti yokufaka imibala emikhiqizweni yokudla efana namaswidi, amakhukhi, kanye noshokoledi. Ukubukeka kwayo okumhlophe kuthuthukisa ukubukeka kwalezi zinto, okwenza zikhange kakhulu kubathengi.

Emkhakheni wezolimo, i-magnesium oxide isebenza njengesakhi esibalulekile sezitshalo. Isetshenziswa njengesithako sokulungisa inhlabathi ukuthuthukisa ikhwalithi yomhlabathi nokukhuthaza ukukhula kwezitshalo okunempilo. Ngaphezu kwalokho, isetshenziswa njenge-antifungal agent ukuvikela izitshalo ezifweni ezibangelwa yi-fungus.

Ukuguquguquka kwe-magnesium oxide kuyenza ibe yimpahla ebalulekile emakethe, futhi isidingo sayo kulindeleke ukuthi sikhule eminyakeni ezayo. Ngenxa yobubanzi bayo bezicelo kanye nezakhiwo zayo ezihlukile, i-magnesium oxide izoqhubeka nokuba yingxenye ebalulekile ezimbonini ezahlukahlukene.
