IZotope, Inc. Is an audio technology company based in Cambridge, Massachusetts, United States.iZotope develops professional audio software for audio recording, mixing, broadcast, sound design, and mastering which can be used in wide range of Digital Audio Workstation (DAW) programs. In addition, iZotope creates and licenses audio DSP technology including noise reduction, sample rate conversion. From 2010 till 2017 was a managing director of Magnezit Group Europe GmbH in Germany. Born in 1972. Director of the Legal Department of Magnezit Group. Artyom Tokarev. The head of the Legal Support Department of Magnezit Group, holds leadership positions in business structures within the Magnezit Group since 2000. Russian Magnezit™ is a new flagship line of materials for manufacturing high performance refractory products used in heat-containing industrial vessels. Russian Magnezit™ is fused and dead-burned magnesia with an MgO content of 97% and above, a CaO/SiO 2 ratio of at least 2, and a high degree of crystal size consistency.
By the end of the first quarter of 2011 Magnezit expects total fused magnesia production capacity to be 50,000 tpa. Sergei Odegov, general director of Magnezit Group said: “Fused periclase is the basis for all high quality refractory shapes and the increase of its production volumes is a key strategic task for us.”.

Magnesite is a mineral with the chemical formula MgCO
3 (magnesium carbonate). Iron, manganese, cobalt and nickel may occur as admixtures, but only in small amounts.
Occurrence[edit]
Magnesite occurs as veins in and an alteration product of ultramafic rocks, serpentinite and other magnesium rich rock types in both contact and regional metamorphic terrains. These magnesites are often cryptocrystalline and contain silica in the form of opal or chert.

Magnesite is also present within the regolith above ultramafic rocks as a secondary carbonate within soil and subsoil, where it is deposited as a consequence of dissolution of magnesium-bearing minerals by carbon dioxide in groundwaters.
Formation[edit]
Magnesite can be formed via talc carbonatemetasomatism of peridotite and other ultramafic rocks. Magnesite is formed via carbonation of olivine in the presence of water and carbon dioxide at elevated temperatures and high pressures typical of the greenschist facies.
Magnesite can also be formed via the carbonation of magnesium serpentine (lizardite) via the following reaction:
- 2 Mg3Si2O5(OH)4 + 3 CO2 → Mg3Si4O10(OH)2 + 3 MgCO3 + 3 H2O.
However, when performing this reaction in the laboratory, the trihydrated form of magnesium carbonate (nesquehonite) will form at room temperature.[5] This very observation led to the postulation of a 'dehydration barrier' being involved in the low-temperature formation of anhydrous magnesium carbonate.[6] Laboratory experiments with formamide, a liquid resembling water, have shown how no such dehydration barrier can be involved. The fundamental difficulty to nucleate anhydrous magnesium carbonate remains when using this non-aqueous solution. Not cation dehydration, but rather the spatial configuration of carbonate anions creates the barrier in the low-temperature nucleation of magnesite.[7]
Magnesite has been found in modern sediments, caves and soils. Its low-temperature (around 40 °C [104 °F]) formation is known to require alternations between precipitation and dissolution intervals.[8][9][10]
Magnesite was detected in meteoriteALH84001 and on planet Mars itself. Magnesite was identified on Mars using infra-red spectroscopy from satellite orbit.[11] Controversy still exists over the temperature of formation of this magnesite. Low-temperature formation has been suggested for the magnesite from the Mars-derived ALH84001 meteorite.[12][13] The low-temperature formation of magnesite might well be of significance toward large-scale carbon sequestration.[14]
Magnesium-rich olivine (forsterite) favors production of magnesite from peridotite. Iron-rich olivine (fayalite) favors production of magnetite-magnesite-silica compositions.
Magnesite can also be formed by way of metasomatism in skarn deposits, in dolomiticlimestones, associated with wollastonite, periclase, and talc.
Uses[edit]
Similar to the production of lime, magnesite can be burned in the presence of charcoal to produce MgO, which, in the form of a mineral, is known as periclase. Large quantities of magnesite are burnt to make magnesium oxide: an important refractory material used as a lining in blast furnaces, kilns and incinerators. Calcination temperatures determine the reactivity of resulting oxide products and the classifications of light burnt and dead burnt refer to the surface area and resulting reactivity of the product, typically as determined by an industry metric of the iodine number. 'Light burnt' product generally refers to calcination commencing at 450 °C and proceeding to an upper limit of 900 °C – which results in good surface area and reactivity. Above 900 °C, the material loses its reactive crystalline structure and reverts to the chemically inert 'dead-burnt' product- which is preferred for use in refractory materials such as furnace linings.
Magnesite can also be used as a binder in flooring material (magnesite screed).[15] Furthermore, it is being used as a catalyst and filler in the production of synthetic rubber and in the preparation of magnesium chemicals and fertilizers.
In fire assay, magnesite cupels can be used for cupellation as the magnesite cupel will resist the high temperatures involved.

Magnesite can be cut, drilled, and polished to form beads that are used in jewelry-making. Magnesite beads can be dyed into a broad spectrum of bold colors, including a light blue color that mimics the appearance of turquoise.
Research is proceeding to evaluate the practicality of sequestering the greenhouse gascarbon dioxide in magnesite on a large scale.[16]
Occupational safety and health[edit]
People can be exposed to magnesite in the workplace by inhaling it, skin contact, and eye contact.
USA[edit]
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has set the legal limit (permissible exposure limit) for magnesite exposure in the workplace as 15 mg/m3 total exposure and 5 mg/m3 respiratory exposure over an 8-hour workday. The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) has set a recommended exposure limit (REL) of 10 mg/m3 total exposure and 5 mg/m3 respiratory exposure over an 8-hour workday.[17]
