Magnesium chloride is the name for the chemical compounds with the formulas MgCl 2 and its various hydrates MgCl 2 (H 2 O) x. These salts are typical ionic halides, being highly soluble in water. The hydrated magnesium chloride can be extracted from brine or sea water.
Abstract. This paper deals with the preparation of magnesium chloride hydrate from a mixed salt solution containing, besides MgCl 2, substantial quantities of undesired substances such as alkali metal chlorides and magnesium sulphate.
