An. Christensen et al., TIME-RESOLVED SYNCHROTRON X-RAY-POWDER DIFFRACTION STUDY ON SAMPLES FROM THE SYSTEM MGO-MGCL2-H2O, Acta chemica Scandinavica, 49(5), 1995, pp. 331-334
Time-resolved synchrotron X-ray powder diffraction was used to study c
hemical reactions in the system MgO-MgCl2-H2O at temperatures up to 10
0 degrees C. The crystalline reaction products formed were Mg(OH)(2),
MgCl2 . 5Mg(OH)(2) . 8H(2)O, MgCl2 . 9Mg(OH)(2) . 5H(2)O and MgCl2 . 2
Mg(OH)(2) . 4H(2)O. The reaction rates are strongly dependent upon the
temperature and slightly dependent on the concentration of the magnes
ium chloride solutions.
