Product Description

Product Introduction

Lithium chloride, with the chemical formula LiCl, is a white, crystalline hygroscopic inorganic compound. It is highly soluble in water, with a solubility of approximately 83.5 g per 100 g of water at 20°C, and also soluble in ethanol, acetone, and other polar solvents.

 

The compound is formed through the reaction between lithium hydroxide (LiOH) and hydrochloric acid (HCl). In nature, lithium - containing minerals are processed to extract lithium, which is then used to produce lithium chloride. The hygroscopic nature of lithium chloride means it readily absorbs moisture from the air, which can lead to deliquescence if not stored properly. This property also makes it useful in applications where moisture absorption is desired.

Product Application

1. Battery Industry
   • Lithium chloride is a key raw material in the production of lithium - ion batteries. It is used in the preparation of lithium - based electrolytes, which play a crucial role in the transfer of lithium ions between the anode and cathode during the charging and discharging processes. High - purity lithium chloride is required to ensure the long - term stability and high performance of batteries, which are widely used in electric vehicles, portable electronic devices, and energy storage systems.
2. Air - Conditioning and Dehumidification
   • Due to its strong hygroscopic property, lithium chloride is used in desiccant systems for air - conditioning and dehumidification. It can absorb large amounts of moisture from the air, helping to maintain a low - humidity environment in buildings, data centers, and industrial facilities. In some cases, lithium chloride - based desiccants are used in rotary dehumidifiers, where the desiccant material rotates through the air stream to continuously remove moisture.
3. Chemical Synthesis
   • Lithium chloride serves as a catalyst or a reaction medium in various chemical synthesis reactions. For example, in organic synthesis, it can promote certain reactions by increasing the reactivity of reactants or by acting as a Lewis acid. It is also used in the production of other lithium - based compounds, such as lithium metal oxides (used in batteries) and lithium salts for pharmaceuticals.
4. Pharmaceutical Industry
   • Some lithium - based medications use lithium chloride as a starting material. Lithium compounds have been used to treat mood disorders such as bipolar disorder. Lithium chloride can be formulated into tablets, capsules, or liquid solutions for medical use, after undergoing strict purification and formulation processes to meet pharmaceutical standards.
5. Metallurgy
   • In the metallurgical industry, lithium chloride is used in the electrolysis of certain metals. It can lower the melting point of metal salts, facilitating the electrolysis process and improving the efficiency of metal extraction. For example, it can be used in the production of lithium metal itself, as well as in the refining of other metals to improve their quality.
