Abstract
The decomposition of MgCl 2·6NH 3 and MgCl 2·2C 2H 6O 2·2NH 3 in static air was investigated by DTA–TG, XRD and chemical analysis from room temperature to 700 °C. The results indicated that MgCl 2·6NH 3 took three steps to decompose to anhydrous MgCl 2 below 450 °C and at higher temperatures resulted in the oxidation of anhydrous MgCl 2. This theoretically confirms the validity of the operation in which Ar or N 2 is used in manufacturing anhydrous MgCl 2 at 650 °C. MgCl 2·2C 2H 6O 2·2NH 3 experienced a complicated process of decomposition, Mg(OH)Cl and carbon were obtained at 300 °C and MgO at 530 °C, respectively, which may decrease the quality of anhydrous MgCl 2.
