About Magnesium Chloride

Magnesium chloride (MgCl2) is a chemical compound consisting of magnesium and chloride ions. It is a crystalline solid at room temperature, typically appearing as white or colorless flakes, granules, or powder. Magnesium chloride is highly soluble in water, and its aqueous solution is known as magnesium chloride solution.

Magnesium chloride is derived from magnesium-rich sources such as brine wells, seawater, and salt lakes. It is produced commercially through various methods, including evaporation of seawater or brine, precipitation reactions, and electrolysis.
