Magnesium chloride salts is rare in healthy individuals with a normal diet, because excess magnesium is readily excreted in urine by the kidneys. A few cases of oral magnesium toxicity have been described in persons with normal renal function ingesting large amounts of magnesium salts, but it is rare. If a large amount of magnesium chloride is eaten, it will have effects similar to magnesium sulfate, causing diarrhea, although the sulfate also contributes to the laxative effect in magnesium sulfate, so the effect from the chloride is not as severe. Chloride (Cl) and magnesium (Mg) are both essential nutrients important for normal
Magnesium peroxide High yields are further complicated by the fact that MgO reacts with water to degrade the peroxide into magnesium hydroxide, also known as milk of magnesia. Magnesium peroxide is a stable oxygen releasing compound, which is used in agricultural and environmental industries. It is used to reduce contaminant levels in groundwater. Magnesium peroxide is used in the bioremediation of contaminated soil and can improve the soil quality for plant growth and metabolism. It also used in the aquaculture industry for bioremediation. For sanitation purposes magnesium peroxide is often used as a source of oxygen for aerobic organisms in the treatment
