Magnesium oxide is used as a laboratory reagent and an insulator in industrial cables. It acts as a reference material for calorimetry. It is widely used as a basic refractory material for crucibles, as a protective coating in plasma displays, as an oxide barrier in spin-tunneling devices, as an optical material, as a component of tubular construction in heating elements and also in libraries for preserving books. Magnesium oxide microspheres are used in the enrichment method of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons.
