Magnesium chloride uses
Magnesium chloride uses
The uses of magnesium chloride vary according to its field of application.
The following are some common uses and scenarios of magnesium chloride:
Industrial applications:
1. Snow melting agent: Magnesium chloride is widely used as a snow melting agent in road anti-icing and snow removal. It can lower the freezing point, accelerate the melting of snow, and prevent ice and snow from freezing on the road, thus improving the safety of road traffic. Preventive spreading can spread a layer of magnesium chloride solution on the road surface before the snow season arrives to form a protective film to prevent snow from adhering to the road surface. Emergency spreading is suitable for snowy or icy weather. Magnesium chloride particles are evenly spread on the road to quickly melt snow and ice.
2. Dehydrating agent: Magnesium chloride is also used as a dehydrating agent in industrial processes, which can absorb moisture and reduce environmental humidity. Place an appropriate amount of magnesium chloride in places where humidity needs to be controlled, such as storage rooms, industrial production workshops, etc.
3. Iron-making industry: Magnesium chloride is used as a flux and iron oxide flux in the iron-making industry, which helps to increase the furnace temperature, reduce the melting point of the slag, and promote the smelting of metals.
Precautions for use:
Please note that when using magnesium chloride, make sure to follow the correct usage and dosage to avoid misuse or abuse. At the same time, be safe when handling magnesium chloride, avoid direct contact with skin, eyes, etc., and prevent inhalation of its dust. In case of accidental contact or inhalation, rinse immediately with clean water and seek medical attention.
