  2. Magnesium in biology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnesium_in_biology

    Magnesium is absorbed with reasonable efficiency (30% to 40%) by the body from any soluble magnesium salt, such as the chloride or citrate. Magnesium is similarly absorbed from Epsom salts, although the sulfate in these salts adds to their laxative effect at higher doses. Magnesium absorption from the insoluble oxide and hydroxide salts (milk ...

  3. Magnesium chloride - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnesium_chloride

    Magnesium chloride is one of many substances used for dust control, soil stabilization, and wind erosion mitigation. [12] When magnesium chloride is applied to roads and bare soil areas, both positive and negative performance issues occur which are related to many application factors. [13]

  4. Electrolyte imbalance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrolyte_imbalance

    Chloride is part of gastric acid (HCl), which plays a role in absorption of electrolytes, activating enzymes, and killing bacteria. The levels of chloride in the blood can help determine if there are underlying metabolic disorders. [20] Generally, chloride has an inverse relationship with bicarbonate, an electrolyte that indicates acid-base ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Composition_of_the_human_body

    Parts-per-million cube of relative abundance by mass of elements in an average adult human body down to 1 ppm. About 99% of the mass of the human body is made up of six elements: oxygen, carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, calcium, and phosphorus. Only about 0.85% is composed of another five elements: potassium, sulfur, sodium, chlorine, and magnesium ...

  6. Magnesium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnesium

    The magnesium chloride can be obtained using the Dow process, a process that mixes sea water and dolomite in a flocculator or by dehydration of magnesium chloride brines. The electrolytic cells are partially submerged in a molten salt electrolyte to which the produced magnesium chloride is added in concentrations between 6–18%. [44]

  7. Magnesium compounds - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnesium_compounds

    Magnesium chloride is an ionic compound, which can be electrolysed in a molten state to form magnesium and chlorine gas. The properties of magnesium bromide and magnesium iodide are similar. [ citation needed ] HMgX (X=Cl,Br,I) can be obtained by reacting the corresponding magnesium halide with magnesium hydride.

  8. Mineral (nutrient) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mineral_(nutrient)

    Phosphorus occurs in amounts of about 2/3 of calcium, and makes up about 1% of a person's body weight. [10] The other major minerals (potassium, sodium, chlorine, sulfur and magnesium) make up only about 0.85% of the weight of the body. Together these eleven chemical elements (H, C, N, O, Ca, P, K, Na, Cl, S, Mg) make up 99.85% of the body.

  9. Magnesium transporter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnesium_transporter

    Magnesium transporters are proteins that transport magnesium across the cell membrane. All forms of life require magnesium , yet the molecular mechanisms of Mg 2+ uptake from the environment and the distribution of this vital element within the organism are only slowly being elucidated.
