AP0761 Optical and Spectral Properties of Aqueous Magnesium Chloride Solution: An Experimental Study

Abstract

This spectroscopic study presents absorption and fluorescence spectra of MgCl₂ to provide valuable insights into the electronic structure, energy levels, and interaction of 10^-3 M MgCl₂ solution with light as an absorption peak was recorded at 255 nm. The MgCl₂ solution can be commonly used for dust control, ice control and road stabilization. In addition, it has a wide range of applications such as serving as a fertilizer, a mineral supplement for animals, a wastewater treatment agent, a component of artificial seawater, and a material for textiles, paper and cement. It can also be found in many pharmaceutical, topical or skin-related applications, and the understanding of its absorption for UV radiation could contribute to the development of UV-blocking materials or environmental sensors in the future.
