Magnesium Hydroxide BP
DEFINITION
Content
95.0 per cent to 100.5 per cent of Mg(OH)2.
CHARACTERS
Appearance
White, fine, amorphous powder.
Solubility
Practically insoluble in water. It dissolves in dilute acids.
IDENTIFICATION
A. Dissolve about 15 mg in 2 ml of dilute nitric acid and neutralize with dilute sodium hydroxide solution. The solution gives the reaction of magnesium.
B. It complies with the test for loss on ignition (see Tests).
TESTS
Solution S
Dissolve 5.0 g in a mixture of 50 ml of acetic acid and 50 ml of distilled water. Not more than slight effervescence is produced. Boil for 2 min, cool and dilute to 100 ml with dilute acetic acid. Filter, if necessary, through a previously ignited and tarred porcelain or silica filter crucible of suitable porosity to give a clear filtrate.
Appearance of solution
Solution S is not more intensely coloured than reference solution.
Soluble substances
Maximum 2.0 per cent.
Substances insoluble in acetic acid
Maximum 0.1 per cent.
Chlorides
Maximum 0.1 per cent.
Sulphates
Maximum 0.5 per cent.
0.6 ml of solution S diluted to 15 ml with distilled water complies with the limit test for sulphates.
Arsenic
Maximum 4 ppm.
Calcium
Maximum 1.5 per cent.
Iron
Maximum 0.07 per cent.
Heavy metals
Maximum 30 ppm.
Loss on ignition
29.0 per cent to 32.5 per cent. Heat 0.5 g gradually to 900°C and ignite to constant mass.
Magnesium Hydroxide USP
Magnesium Hydroxide
Mg(OH)2 58.32
Magnesium hydroxide.
Magnesium hydroxide CAS 1309-42-8.
Magnesium Hydroxide, dried at 105 for 2 hours, contains not less than 95.0 percent and not more than 100.5 percent of Mg(OH)2.
Identification— A 1 in 20 solution in 3 N hydrochloric acid responds to the tests for Magnesium.
Microbial limits— It meets the requirements of the test for absence of Escherichia coli.
Loss on drying— Dry it at 105 for 2 hours: it loses not more than 2.0% of its weight.
Loss on ignition— Ignite it at 800 , increasing the heat gradually, to constant weight: it loses between 30.0% and 33.0% of its weight.
Soluble salts— Boil 2.0 g with 100 mL of water for 5 minutes in a covered beaker, filter while hot, cool, and dilute the filtrate with water to 100 mL. Titrate 50 mL of the diluted filtrate with 0.10 N sulfuric acid, using methyl red TS as the indicator: not more than 2.0 mL of the acid is consumed.
Evaporate 25 mL of the diluted filtrate to dryness, and dry at 105 for 3 hours: not more than 10 mg of residue remains.
Carbonate— Boil a mixture of 0.10 g with 5 mL of water, cool, and add 5 mL of 6 N acetic acid: not more than a slight effervescence is observed.
Limit of calcium— the limit is 1.5%.
Heavy metals—the limit is 20 <g per g.
Lead— limit is 0.001%.
