Production Method

1.Dissolve sodium molybdate dihydrate in ethylene glycol to configure solution A with a concentration of 0.2-0.5 mol/liter, and dissolve magnesium chloride hexahydrate in deionized water to configure solution B with a concentration of 0.2-0.5 mol/liter;

2.Slowly adding solution A to solution B to form a uniform mixed solution under electromagnetic stirring. The volume ratio of solution A to solution B is 1:1;

3.After stirring the mixed solution obtained in step 2 for 10-15 minutes, transfer it to the reactor, seal it, and react at 140-180°C for 5-10 hours. After the reaction, cool to room temperature naturally;

4.Centrifugally wash the product obtained in step 3 with a mixed solution of deionized water and ethanol for several times, and then dry at 60℃ overnight to obtain cream-colored flake magnesium molybdate.

Storage

Stored in normal temperature, and in a cool, ventilated, dry place, avoid direct sunlight.

Applications

Magnesium molybdate can be used in energy storage, catalysis, photoluminescence, photonic crystals, scintillator materials and other fields, such as:
1. Preparation of a modified cathode material for magnesium secondary batteries.
2. Prepare a high-temperature resistant molding compound.
