Química del Rey
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Química del Rey is a Mexican company that mines a large sodium sulfate deposit located as an underground lagoon in Laguna del Rey, Coahuila.
This facility has a production capability of 600,000 (metric) tonnes of high purity sodium sulfate and 100,000 tonnes of magnesium oxide (with several grades of purity and composition).
The geological origins of the deposit have been determined to be quite ancient, as evidenced by the drying up and isolation of a former sea. The origins of the company are from 1965, with the geological discovery and the commercial usage of the deposit, but is well known that the human usage of the mineralized salts of the lagoon are older, because the inhabitants from long ago separated common salt from the water through evaporation methods.
The production of this facility is sold in Mexico and exported mainly to South America.
The manufactured products are:
- Magnesium oxide ceramic grade (dead burnt)
- Magnesium oxide caustic grade
- Magnesium hydroxide in several grades
- Epsom salt industrial Grade
- Anhydrous sodium sulfate detergent Grade
- Anhydrous sodium sulfate textile Grade
