About Lithium Hydroxide
About Lithium Hydroxide. Lithium Hydroxide appears as white crystals or granular powder that absorbs carbon dioxide and water from the air. When in solution with water, it is clear to white and exhales a pungent odor. Handling should be done carefully, as contact may cause severe irritation to the skin, eyes, and mucous membranes.
Lithium Hydroxide Handling. Lithium oxides, hydroxide, and carbonate are strong bases, and their water solutions can be very caustic. In this case, Lithium Hydroxide, either directly or indirectly formed by other salts, can cause caustic burns. Therefore, it should be stored separately from food and feedstuffs, strong oxidants, and strong acids. Also, the salt should be stored only in the original container in a dry place and away from a drain or sewer access.
Lithium Hydroxide Production. Raw materials and the respective production processes employed in the manufacturing of Lithium Hydroxide are listed below.
- lithium carbonate + calcium hydroxide (salt formation),
- lithium-bearing ores + limestone (lime fusion process)
Lithium Hydroxide Uses. The uses and applications of Lithium Hydroxide may vary according to its specification. The main forms of Lithium Hydroxide are technical grade; reagent grade; standard grade (55% purity); battery grade (99% purity); and superior grade (99.3% purity)
