Description

Magnesium chloride hexahydrate is a chemical compound with the formula MgCl2·6H2O. It is used as an electrolyte in wastewater treatment and for the production of magnesium metal. The optimum concentration for this chemical is between 0.1-0.3 mol/L, which can be found in nature. Magnesium chloride hexahydrate is also used as a component in dextran sulfate, which is an additive to prevent clumping of particles suspended in water or other liquids. This compound has been shown to affect the activity of enzymes such as xylanase, protease, and amylase. Magnesium chloride hexahydrate has a phase transition temperature of 40 °C and can form coordination geometry structures with copper(II) ions at high temperatures.
