Magnesium chloride is prone to fire. After the fire is released, scientific methods should be used to extinguish the fire. Otherwise, it will not only fail to extinguish the fire, but will expand the fire.
1. Cut off the source of transmission. Move the container on fire to an open area and away from the fire scene.
2. Avoid flowing fire. When extinguishing fire, direct water flow into the molten material to improve the efficiency of fire extinguishing.
3. Choose the right extinguishing material. Magnesium oxide generally uses dry powder, foam and other substances to extinguish a fire.
Precautions for storage of magnesium chloride: Both anhydrous magnesium chloride and magnesium chloride containing different crystal water are highly water-absorbing substances. The storage area should be equipped with suitable materials to contain the leakage; the operation should be closed and the quan surface should be ventilated. It needs to be insulated from air, moisture-proof, sealed for storage, prevent moisture, keep dry, and ensure good ventilation in the warehouse. Keep away from fire and heat sources. Food-grade magnesium chloride as a desiccant not only solves many problems in life, but also realizes the economic growth of magnesium chloride manufacturers and creates a better life. Avoid direct sunlight. It should be stored separately from oxidizers, etc., and avoid mixed storage. The storage area should be equipped with suitable materials to contain the leakage.
Magnesium chloride is white crystals at room temperature and is easy to absorb moisture. Here is an introduction to the appearance quality requirements of magnesium chloride:
1. The appearance color of magnesium chloride should be white or off-white or yellow-brown.
2. Magnesium chloride products should be fragmented or granular, not bulky crystals.
3. Magnesium chloride products cannot be deliquescent.
Anhydrous magnesium chloride is a lustrous, colorless hexagonal crystal, which has extremely strong deliquescent properties, which is higher than that of hexahydrate magnesium chloride and dihydrate magnesium chloride. The physical and chemical properties are basically the same as hexahydrate magnesium chloride. It is mostly used in the production of magnesium metal, as well as in the chemical, coal, light industry, construction and other industries.
