Anhydrous Magnesium Chloride - Magnesium Chloride 99%
- Anhydrous Magnesium Chloride is a crystalline solid chemical compound. The crystal structure of MgCl2 is layer-like. It is very hygroscopic and highly soluble in water and alcohol. It can be prepared by heating hydrated magnesium chloride crystals in a current of dry hydrogen chloride or by heating magnesium ammonium chloride. Anhydrous magnesium chloride contains 25.5% elemental magnesium by mass. It is the principal precursor to magnesium metal, which is produced on a large scale. Magnesium chloride anhydrous is supplied in flake, powder and granules forms.

Magnesium chloride anhydrous is widely used in various industries.
- De-icing Agent: Commonly used in winter road maintenance, it effectively lowers the freezing point of water, making it ideal for melting ice and preventing snow accumulation on roads and sidewalks.
- Water Treatment Chemicals: As a source of magnesium phosphate, MgCl2 can remove the ammonia nitrogen in sewage. It is mainly used for the treatment of city sewage and food industry sewage. Working together with Ca(OH)2 , it can also treat sulphate-free sewage.
- Desiccant: Due to its hygroscopic nature, it is employed in moisture control applications, such as packaging and storage, to keep products dry and extend shelf life.
- Chemical Synthesis: In laboratories, it serves as a reagent in the synthesis of various chemical compounds, such as magnesium oxide, magnesium hydroxide and magnesium sulfate. providing a source of magnesium for reactions in organic and inorganic chemistry.
- Pharmaceuticals: It plays a role in the formulation of certain medications, providing magnesium supplementation and aiding in the stability of active ingredients.
Magnesium chloride is a summary name of anhydrous magnesium chloride and its various hydrates.
Anhydrous magnesium chloride contains an assay of more than 98% and has no crystal water. It contains approximately 25.5% magnesium by mass. Anhydrous magnesium chloride is the primary material for the production of magnesium metal.The content of hexahydrate magnesium chloride is around 46%. Hexahydrate magnesium chloride is the hexahydrate form of magnesium chloride. It can be extracted from brine or seawater.
The two materials can be distinguished by their appearance. Anhydrous magnesium chloride only has white color, While hexahydrate magnesium chloride has yellow and white colors according to the concentration. They all have flake form. However, anhydrous magnesium chloride flake is thinner than hexahydrate. Anhydrous magnesium chloride looks drier.
Anhydrous magnesium chloride is much more expensive than hexahydrate. It attracts moisture faster in the atmosphere.It can be prepared by heating hydrated magnesium chloride crystals in a current of dry hydrogen chloride.
