Key Advantages

  • Made from high-purity magnesia (MgO).
  • Resistant to extreme temperatures and thermal shock.
  • Provides high mechanical strength and stability.
  • Offers rapid absorption of lead oxide (litharge).
  • Minimizes loss of precious metals during assay.
  • Prevents prills or beads from adhering to the surface.
  • Allows simultaneous processing of multiple samples.
  • Significantly improves fire assay work efficiency.

Magnesia Bullion Block

In the intricate world of precious metal analysis, particularly for gold and silver, the fire assay process remains the gold standard for its precision and reliability. The integrity of this process hinges significantly on the quality of its consumables. Substandard cupels or blocks can lead to inconsistent results, increased precious metal loss, and compromised analytical accuracy, directly impacting financial and geological evaluations.

The DECENT Magnesia Bullion Block offers an advanced solution, meticulously crafted from high-purity magnesia. Designed as a porous, multi-holed refractory, it excels in absorbing large quantities of lead oxide during cupellation, cleanly separating base metals to leave behind a pure precious metal prill. With its exceptional mechanical strength, resistance to extreme temperatures, and ability to process numerous samples simultaneously, our Magnesia Bullion Block ensures maximum accuracy and efficiency for all your fire assay requirements.

Equipment Construction

  • Main Component: Primarily composed of pure magnesia (MgO).
  • Form: A shallow, porous refractory block with multiple precisely drilled holes.
  • Hole Configuration: Available with various numbers of holes (e.g., 12, 14, 24, 32).
  • Base: Designed with a larger, stable base for enhanced stability in furnaces.
  • Material Quality: Manufactured from high-grade raw materials with special fluxing agents.
  • Casting Density: High casting density for consistent performance and accurate results.
  • Surface: Smooth surface prevents cracking or pitting during cupellation.
  • Resistance: Excellent resistance to erosion from breaking flux.
  • Customization: Available in customized sizes and specifications to meet specific needs.
