Abstract: Using the by-product of magnesium chloride from titanium sponge as a raw material, the magnesium hydroxide [Mg(OH)2] prepared by the aqueous solution electrode position method was agglomerated dramatically and it was difficult to fall from the electrode plate. By adding a certain amount of SO2-4 into the electrolyte to improve the dispersion of Mg(OH)2, the serious agglomeration can be avoided effectively. The effect of SO2-4 on the shedding performance, product morphology and growth mode of Mg(OH)2 was studied. The results show that the SO2-4 concentration has a great influence on the initial shedding time of Mg(OH)2. When the SO2-4 concentration is 0.45g/L, the performance of Mg(OH)2 is the best, associated with the initial shedding time about 10min. When the Mg(OH)2 crystals grow on the electrode plate, the growth mode is the layered-island composite growth. Meanwhile, it is also found that the addition of SO2-4 can induce the Mg(OH)2 to grow in a stepped manner.

Key words: SO2-4, electrode position, magnesium hydroxide, agglomeration, growth mode
