Description
This is the foundry building, where the MgCl2 ( magnesium cholryde powder) was melted at very high temperature, creating pure magnesium pellets and highly toxic Cl2 gas.

At high temperature, MgCl2 transforms into into Mg2+ ( the cathode) and 2Cl- ( the anode). When it cools, the electrons are equally split between Mg2+ and 2Cl- , releasing great ammounts of toxic Cl2 gas.
