Short summary
Pure MgCl2 particles and NaCl-MgCl2 mixed particles are systematically investigated to observe their hygroscopic behavior, derive experimental phase diagrams, and obtain chemical micro-structures. This work provides new interesting revelations regarding the efflorescence of MgCl2 hydrates during dehydration and also humidification. The observation of an aqueous phase over a wider RH range for NaCl-MgCl2 mixture particles indicates their more probable heterogeneous chemistry than NaCl particles.
