can anyone tell me, why magnesium in implant will corrode and make H2 Evolution ?
Mg + 2H2O --> Mg(OH)2 + H2
while magnesium in food will get absorb to our body ?
Are there any parameter like pH or maximum concentration so our body will absorb the magnesium rather than change it into Mg(OH)2 + H2
Thank you
Dear Sir. Concerning your issue about the difference between magnesium in food and magnesium in implant . Magnesium is a chemical element that’s found in abundance in the Earth’s crust and below the surface. In its metallic form, magnesium is lightweight and strong, making it suitable for a wide range of industrial applications. Magnesium also plays a key role in human health and biology, and it is a natural nutrient essential for building healthy bones. Magnesium is an attractive orthopedic alternative because, unlike stainless steel or titanium, it is a biodegradable substance. The use of magnesium could conceivably eliminate the need for an invasive procedure to remove the surgical pin at some point. Researchers have developed and are diligently working to perfect a magnesium pin that will safely dissolve at a controlled rate over time. Since magnesium is essential to human health, a magnesium pin or implant would also have long-term nutritional value for the patient. I think the following below links may help you in your analysis:
