Abstract: Highly-dispersed Mg(OH)2 powders were prepared via interaction of magnesium chloride with
sodium hydroxide followed with hydrothermal treatment. The influence of process parameters, such as the mixing way of raw materials, temperature,
and the mole ratio of magnesium chloride to sodium hydroxide, on the morphology and structure of magnesium hydroxide was investigated. The
experimental results indicate that Mg(OH)2 particles with regular shape and large size are formed at higher temperature (90℃) or
by adding NaOH into MgCl2 solution. SEM micrographs show that the size of Mg(OH)2 particles is about 0.7μm. The excess of MgCl2 is
favorable for the formation of Mg(OH)2 particles with bigger size and stable structure.

Key words: highly-dispersed Mg(OH)2 powders, preparation, influence factors
