Introduction to monohydrate lithium hydroxide
Lithium hydroxide is a strong base, and its chemical properties are more similar to Group 2 hydroxides in the periodic table, but are quite different from Group 1 hydroxides. It is a white tetragonal crystal, which is strongly corrosive and irritating to the skin, with a melting point of 450ºC and a relative density of 1.46. Decomposition temperature 924ºC. Slightly soluble Chemicalbook in ethanol, soluble in water but less soluble than hydroxide of other alkali metals. Monohydrate is obtained after hygroscopic in air or when crystallized in aqueous solution. hydrogen chloride, hydrogen cyanide and other acidic gases. It can also react completely with strong or weak acids in aqueous solutions. It absorbs carbon dioxide in the air to produce lithium carbonate.
use
Use 1: Used as an analytical reagent, photographic developer, and also used in the manufacture of lithium
Application 2: petroleum, chemical, light industry, nuclear industry, etc. When used in alkaline batteries, the aluminum content is not more than 0.06%, and the lead content is not more than 0.01%.
Use 3: photographic developer, preparation of lithium salt, manufacture of alcohol to resin, catalyst.
