Usage

General Description

Magnesium chloride is a double displacement, inorganic compound, which holds a chemical formula of MgCl2. It appears as colorless or white crystalline solid and is highly soluble in water. Magnesium chloride is most commonly found in seawater and naturally occuring minerals like bischofite and carnallite. Not only is it crucial for various biological functions in both animals and humans, but it's also majorly utilized in the field of medicine such as for treatment of magnesium deficiency. Industrially, magnesium chloride is widely used in dust and erosion control, producing magnesium metal, and as a de-icing agent.

HALIDE REDUCTION DIHYDROCARBYLMAGNESIUM MIXTURES

This invention provides a process for reducing the amount of soluble halide in a solution comprising a liquid organic medium, at least one viscosity reducing agent, at least one dihydrocarbylmagnesium compound, and an initial amount of soluble halide. The process comprises mixing at least one alkali metal with the solution at a mole ratio of alkali metal to magnesium of less than about 1:2.5, thereby forming precipitated soluble halides. Also provided by this invention is a process for reducing the amount of soluble halide in a slurry comprising a liquid organic medium, at least one viscosity reducing agent, at least one dihydrocarbylmagnesium compound, solids from the formation of said dihydrocarbylmagnesium compound, and an initial amount of soluble halide. This process comprises mixing at least one alkali metal with the slurry at a mole ratio of alkali metal to magnesium of less than about 1:1.25, thereby forming precipitated soluble halides.
