Storage stable solution of carbonated magnesiummethoxide in methanol, preparation and use.

摘要

The invention relates to storage-stable solutions of carbonated magnesium methylate of the formula Mg(CH3O)2 (CO2)n in methanol, and to processes for their preparation by reacting metallic magnesium with methanol and CO2, or by reacting magnesium methylate in methanol with CO2, the magnesium content of the solution being 0.1 to 8% by weight, based on the entire solution, and the CO2 content n being 1 to 2.2. The solutions according to the invention are used, inter alia, for the preservation of paper or for the production of catalysts for the polymerisation of olefins.
