| Magnesium chloride hexahydrate Usage And Synthesis |
| Description | Magnesium chloride hexahydrate is the hydrated form of magnesium chloride. Magnesium chloride is a mineral supplement used to prevent and treat low amounts of magnesium in the blood and a versatile compound with a number of uses in food preparation, health and personal well-being areas. Magnesium chloride is also used in road care, to synthesize other magnesium compounds, to remove dyes and industrial dye wastes, for the dust control, in the textile production, and as an industrial dye and dye waste remover. Magnesium chloride hexahydrate is used as catalyst for organic synthesis, e.g. 3,4‐Dihydropyrimidin‐2‐(1H)‐one. Magnesium chloride hexahydrate is also a promising heat/thermal storage material.

| | Definition | ChEBI: A hydrate that is the hexahydrate form of magnesium dichloride. | | General Description | Magnesium chloride hexahydrate is a colorless, crystalline solid. On heating, it loses water of crystallization and affords magnesium oxide. It has been tested as a potential phase change material (PCM) for use in cooking indoors and during the low intensity solar radiation periods. Due to its suitable thermo-physical properties, it can be used as storage media in solar cookers. Its flame retardancy action on 100% woven cotton fabric has been investigated. Its heat capacity has been evaluated. | | Purification Methods | Crystallise it from hot water (3.3g/mL) by cooling. Dry it in a vacuum at ~175o, or heat the hydrate in a stream of HCl. When the hydrate is heated above 180o it is hydrolysed to the oxychloride (Mg2OCl2). It is deliquescent; store it in a well-stoppered vessel.
