Shares & Saves. Save. Xenon and halogen lights use a gas to help increase bulb effectiveness, but there are several key differences between them. Halogen lights are an older type of bulb that uses halogen gas primarily as a buffer and backup system, while xenon lights depend wholly on xenon gas to produce light.
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.
In addition to the production of magnesium metal, magnesium chloride also is used for a variety of other applications: fertilizer, mineral supplement for animals, wastewater treatment, wallboard, artificial seawater, feed supplement, textiles, paper, fireproofing agents, cements and refrigeration brine.t is extracted in a similar process from the Dead Sea in the Jordan valley. Magnesium chloride, as the natural mineral bischofite, is also extracted (via solution mining) out of ancient seabeds; for example, the Zechstein seabed in northwest Europe.
