Brucite has the characteristics of high whiteness, good peeling, strong adhesion and basically no water absorption. The former Soviet Union used it as paper filling together with calcite to change papermaking from acid to alkali, and to reduce the pollution of pulp water. In papermaking industry, brucite replaces lime in the process of producing magnesium sulfite pulp, which can absorb and make waste pulp water recyclable and greatly reduce the pollution of waste pulp water to the environment. Because brucite does not absorb water in the air, it can also be used as packing for moisture-proof wrapping paper.
