Steam Pyrohydrolysis of Hydrous Magnesium Chlorides.

PB234686

Publication Date	1974
Personal Author	Reuss, J. L.; May, J. T.
Page Count	16
Abstract	A laboratory study was conducted to investigate the technical feasibility of decomposing hydrous magnesium chlorides by means of steam pyrohydrolysis technique. This procedure consisted of injecting steam into the atmosphere of a decomposition furnace containing samples of hydrous magnesium chloride and determining the rate of hydrolysis by measuring the rate of chloride evolution. The variables investigated were temperature, amount of water vapor in the decomposition atmosphere, and hydration stage of magnesium chloride.
