Manufacturing Process of Magnesium Borohydride

The extensive Magnesium Borohydride production cost report consists of the following industrial manufacturing process:

• Production via Solvent-based Synthesis:  This method of production involves the formation of Magnesium Borohydride by using the technique of solvent-based syntheses. The process starts with the reaction of pure magnesium, magnesium halide, Magnesium Hydride(MgH2), Mg(C4H9)2, or Magnesium n-Butyl (Mg(nBu)2)as the magnesium source, and B2H6, amine-boranes, Al(BH4)3 or alkyl-boranes as the source of BH4− boron and hydrogen. The reaction proceeds in the presence of diethyl ether or hexane as solvent at elevated temperatures, which leads to the formation of magnesium borohydride as the final product.
