Purpose:
1. Metallurgical Industry:
It is used to make the binder of refractory and furnace arm, and is the raw material for smelting metal magnesium.
2. Chemical industry:
It is mainly used to make various magnesium salts, such as magnesium oxide, magnesium hydroxide, magnesium carbonate and firecracker fixing agent. It is also used as raw material of antifreeze.
3. Building materials:
It can be made into hard and corrosion-resistant magnesia cement with magnesite (MgO). It can be made into adult marble, magnesite tile, floor, ceiling, decorative board, fireproof board, greenhouse support, partition board, magnesite well cover, bathtub, door and window frame and movable house.
4. Machinery industry:
In daily life, it can be used to make mechanical packing boxes, triangular cushion edges and furniture. It is a good material for "replacing materials with soil".
5. Food industry:
The tofu made with brine (magnesium chloride aqueous solution) is tender and delicious than that made with gypsum. It is also used as an additive in some foods.
6. Transportation industry:
As a road deicing and snowmelting agent, it has fast deicing speed and low corrosivity to vehicles, which is higher than that of sodium chloride.
7. Medicine:
"Brine dried" made of magnesium chloride can be used as medicine.
8. Agriculture:
It can be used as magnesium fertilizer, potassium magnesium fertilizer and cotton defoliation agent.
In the metallurgical industry, it is used as a binder for refractory and furnace wall, and as a raw material for smelting metal magnesium. In the construction industry, the hard magnesia cement made of magnesium chloride and magnesia can be used to make artificial stone. In the chemical industry, it is the raw material for manufacturing various magnesium salts. In agriculture, cotton defoliating agent is manufactured. The food industry makes tofu coagulant.
