Application Category	Magnesium Chloride Anhydrous End Uses
Catalyst	Magnesium Chloride serves as a Lewis acid catalyst in various organic reactions, including Friedel-Crafts reactions and polymerization processes. Magnesium Chloride powder is often used as a supportive material in catalysis for Ziegler-Natta catalysts, which are utilized in the commercial production of polyolefins
Drying Agent	Magnesium Chloride is used as a drying agent for gases and organic solvents and in chemical processes where the presence of water is an obstruction.
Wastewater Treatment	The Magnesium ions in Magnesium Chloride react with Phosphate ions present in wastewater. This results in the formation of insoluble magnesium phosphate compounds, thereby enabling phosphate removal.
