Magnesium chloride is the name for the chemical compound with the formula MgCl2. In addition to the anhydrous form, MgCl2 comes in its various hydrates MgCl2·nH2O. These salts are typical ionic halides, being highly soluble in water. The magnesium chloride can be extracted from brine or sea water. APPLICATIONS: Precursor to Mg metal Anhydrous MgCl2 is the main precursor to metallic magnesium. The reduction of Mg2+ into metallic Mg is performed by electrolysis in molten salt.[ DUST & EROSION CONTROL: Magnesium chloride is one of many substances used for dust control, soil stabilization, and wind erosion mitigation. CATALYST SUPPORT: Ziegler-Natta catalysts, used commercially to produce polyolefins, contain MgCl2 as a catalyst support. The introduction of MgCl2 supports increases the activity of traditional catalysts and allowed the development of highly stereospecific catalysts for the production of polypropylene ICE CONTROL: Magnesium chloride is used for low-temperature de-icing of highways, sidewalks, and parking lots. NUTRITION & MEDICINE: Magnesium chloride is used in nutraceutical and pharmaceutical preparations. CUISINE: Magnesium chloride. It is an important coagulant used in the preparation of tofu from soy milk.
