production method | gaseous NH 3 acts with magnesium powder activated by iodine at 300 ℃, and is heated at 350~400 ℃ in ammonia atmosphere for several hours to release a large amount of H 2 and produce gray powder. its main component is magnesium amination and contains a small amount of Mg, MgO and MgI 2. This product can also be obtained by reacting Mg with KNH 2 or NaNH 2: Mg 2KNH 2 = Mg(NH 2) 22 K |
