tofu making equipment soy bean japan made magnesium chloride food additive

Nature :It is commercially available as a normal hexahydrate. There is a deliquescent, very soluble, such as in water and ethanol. Aqueous solution composed mainly of magnesium chloride has a strong bitterness, called bittern. Drink too much and become diarrhea. Density, the anhydride 2.325 g / cm3,6 hydrate is 1.569 g / cm3. Aqueous solution is not very little hydrolysis, is almost neutral, to precipitate the magnesium hydroxide and made basic by addition of sodium hydroxide solution or aqueous ammonia. 6 for heating the hydrate is gradually loses water of crystallization is also hydrolyzed proceeds from ignition, to obtain an anhydride by dehydration to produce the basic salt is difficult. MgCl2 · 6H2O → Mg (OH) Cl + HCl + 5 H2O When producing anhydrides by dehydration, and heated while adding hydrogen chloride gas flow or ammonium chloride. Applications:They are used to, such as tofu-making as a bittern. (Salting-out) Manufacture of fertilizer. Production of magnesium metal by electrolysis. Anti-freeze agents, dust-proof agent, fire agents manufacturing raw materials. Production of enema solution or the like.
