Molecular Formula: LiOH·H2O
Molecular Weight: 41.96
Synonyms: Lithium hydrate, Lithium hydroxide hydrate
Product Category: Basic inorganic lithium chemical, battery raw material, lubricant additive, desulfurization agent, pharmaceutical excipient raw material
2. Physical and Chemical Properties
Physical Indicators
- Appearance: White crystalline granular powder
- Odor: Odorless
- Solubility: Soluble in water, releasing heat; slightly soluble in ethanol; insoluble in acetone, ether and hydrocarbon solvents
- Melting Point: 462 °C (dehydrates at ~100–120 °C)
- Density (20 °C): 1.51 g/cm3
- Hygroscopicity: Highly hygroscopic; easily absorbs carbon dioxide and moisture from air
- Aqueous Stability: Strong alkaline aqueous solution, stable at room temperature; reacts rapidly with CO2 to generate lithium carbonate precipitate
Chemical Characteristics
- Molecular Structure: Ionic crystal composed of Li+, OH- and crystal water
- Core Reactivity: Strong inorganic base; neutralizes acids to produce lithium salts; absorbs CO2 and H2O in air to form Li2CO3
- Dehydration Property: Loses crystal water above 100 °C to form anhydrous lithium hydroxide
- Photostability: Good light stability under sealed dry conditions
- Thermal Stability: Stable below dehydration temperature; fully decomposes at high temperature to lithium oxide
- Chemical Compatibility: Compatible with neutral inorganic salt solutions; incompatible with acids, carbon dioxide, heavy metal salts, strong oxidants
3. Main Application Fields
