Lithium Hydroxide Monohydrate CAS 1310-66-3

Lithium hydroxide is used as a grease additive (thickener, antioxidant, extreme pressure agent), which can improve heat resistance, water resistance, stability and mechanical properties, and can be used in bearings of automobiles, aircraft, cranes, etc.; used as lithium Electrolyte raw materials for batteries. Roasted solid lithium hydroxide can be used as a carbon dioxide absorbent for crew members such as spacecraft and submarines. The early American Mercury, Gemini and Apollo programs and space shuttles all used lithium hydroxide absorbents, which have reliable performance and contain Carbon dioxide can be easily absorbed in the gas of water vapor. Its chemical reaction formula is: 2LiOH+CO2→Li2CO3+H2O, 1g of anhydrous lithium hydroxide can absorb 450ml of carbon dioxide, and one person only needs 750g a day to absorb all the exhaled carbon dioxide. In addition, lithium hydroxide is also widely used in the preparation of other lithium compounds and lithium salts, as well as lithium soaps, lithium-based greases, alkyd resins, developing agents for spectral analysis, additives in alkaline storage batteries, photographic developers and catalysts wait. As an additive to the electrolyte of alkaline storage batteries, it can increase the capacity by 12% to 15%, and increase the service life by 2 to 3 times.

At present, the world’s lithium-based grease production accounts for 73.41% of the total grease production, of which China accounts for 82.42%, North America accounts for 68.34%, and Europe accounts for 67.98%. In addition, LiOH’mO is also widely used in chemical industry, national defense, battery and other fields. In the battery industry, it can be used as an alkaline storage battery additive to prolong its life and increase storage capacity; in national defense, it can be used as an ion exchange resin to absorb radioactive isotopes, and can be used as a heat carrier for nuclear reactors and a protective agent for metal surfaces; in aerospace, LiOH • H20 can be used for air purification in submarines and pilot’s breathing mask; LiOH”H20 can also be used as water purifier, emulsifier for porous concrete production, raw material for special optical glass, synthetic vitamin A and many other lithium salt products.

Battery-grade LiOH • H20 is a high-grade product specially used in the production of lithium-ion batteries. The use of battery-grade LiOH’H20 will further expand with the continuous development of lithium power batteries and energy storage batteries.
