The crystallization of magnesium hydroxide [Mg(OH)(2)] from the aqueous solutions of magnesium chloride (MgCl2) or magnesium dodecyl sulfate [Mg(DS)(2)] was conducted by means of the slowly diffusing of ammonia gas at 30 degrees C. When the aqueous solution of 5.0 x 10(-3) mol/L MgCl2 was used as a reaction medium, the sunflower-shaped superstructures of thin and branched Mg(OH)(2) sheets were obtained at 2 d; the prolongation of reaction time and the increase of MgCl2 concentration caused the formation and the consequent agglomeration of Mg(OH)(2) platelets. Interestingly, the aqueous solution of 5.0 x 10(-3) mol/L Mg(DS)(2) could be referred as the counterpart of 5.0 x 10(-2) mol/L MgCl2 at the surface nucleation of Mg(OH)(2). The precipitates sampled from Mg(DS)(2) solutions at 2 or 3 d presented the lamellar aggregates of Mg(OH)(2) platelets; while these sampled at 6 and 12 d showed the column-shaped structures of Mg(OH)(2) under the transmission electron microscopy (TEM) observation, suggesting the further growth of Mg(OH)(2) platelets along the c-axis perpendicular to the [0 0 1] face. Meanwhile, the nucleation, the crystal orientation, and the crystallographic defect were also discussed, indicating the different crystallization habits of Mg(OH)(2) in the aqueous solutions of different magnesium sources.
