| uses | lithium chloride has a wide range of uses, and electrolytic production of lithium metal is the largest area of lithium chloride consumption, the only industrial method for the production of metallic lithium at present is the lithium chloride molten salt electrolysis method, which was proposed by Ganz in 1893. Lithium metal and its alloys and compounds are widely used in many fields such as atomic energy industry, metallurgical industry, battery, glass, ceramics, chemical industry, aerospace industry and so on. In recent years, lithium chloride has been widely used in biology, medicine and other fields. In medicine for the treatment of diabetes, genetic research, etc.; In biology for the extraction and purification of RNA and a small amount of plasmid DNA; As a mutagen, widely used in food (beer), medicine, environmental protection and other industries to breed high-quality strains, cultivate high-yield strains, synthetic pharmaceutical intermediates, genetic modification of strains; In the analysis of organic structure, LiCl is an important cationic additive; In the field of new materials, it is widely used in the production of chitin (chitin); As an adsorbent and desiccant in air conditioners and dehumidifiers. is a raw material for the manufacture of welding materials, air conditioning equipment and lithium metal. It is also used in the manufacture of pyrotechnic. used as analytical reagents, heat exchange carrier, also used in the pharmaceutical industry used in air conditioning, pyrotechnic, dry batteries and lithium metal, also used as flux, desiccant Anhydrous Lithium chloride is mainly used in molten salt electrolysis to produce lithium metal raw materials, but also used in aluminum welding agent, air conditioning desiccant, special cement production and polymer materials polyphenylene sulfide catalyst and other fields. preparation of lithium metal raw materials; Used as welding agent for aluminum, air conditioning desiccant and special cement raw materials; Used for flame, in the battery industry for the production of lithium manganese battery electrolyte analysis reagent. Gas chromatography stationary phase (maximum use temperature 650 ℃, The solvent is water). Lithium chloride can separate polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons with boiling points up to 600 °c after calcination at 700-1000 °c. At 620 C, the zinc complex gold can be separated into zinc and chromium. Mainly used for the preparation of lithium metal raw materials and air conditioning desiccant, bleaching powder, pesticides, lithium battery electrolyte, synthetic fiber, alloy welding agent or flux. |
| preparation method | lithium carbonate or lithium hydroxide conversion method: This method is the most important industrial method for the production of LiCl, most of our lithium chloride is produced in this way. In a corrosion-resistant reactor, Li2CO3 or LiOH was reacted with 30% hydrochloric acid to a slight excess of hydrochloric acid to give a nearly saturated solution of LiCl. An appropriate amount of BaCl2 solution was added to the acidic LiCl solution to remove sulfate impurities, and the pH was adjusted to Neutral with LiOH after filtration. Then, spray-boiling granulation or spray-drying gave Anhydrous Lithium chloride. Lithium carbonate is dissolved in hydrochloric acid and evaporated to dryness to obtain a white powder of lithium chloride. In order to obtain particularly pure anhydrous lithium chloride, purification is necessary. There are three purification methods:(1) purification by carbonate;(2) precipitation of lithium fluoride into lithium chloride; And (3) purification by ion exchange resin. Now (3) method to be introduced as follows: cation exchange resin using Amberlite IR120 hydrogen type resin, capacity 100mL; Anion exchange resin using Amberlite IRA400 chlorine type resin, capacity 100mL. Lithium chloride is dissolved in 25% (mole fraction) Methanol-water mixed solvent to prepare the original solution with chloride ion concentration below 1mol/L, and 25% (volume fraction) is also available. Methanol 0.5mol/L hydrochloric acid as eluent, can be operated at room temperature. This method can remove difficult to remove calcium ions and 70% sulfate ions, to obtain pure lithium chloride. lithium chloride reference quality standard |

| hazard | According to the list of hazardous chemicals GB12268-2005 and, lithium chloride does not belong to dangerous goods. In the 2040s, lithium chloride was used as a substitute for salt, but later found that lithium chloride is toxic to the body, so the application was stopped. Lithium salt acts on the central nervous system, and similar Lithium carbonate is a drug for the treatment of mental disorders. |
| production method | hydrochloric acid method hydrochloric acid was added to the reactor, and lithium carbonate was slowly added to the reactor at a slightly too theoretical amount to carry out the reaction, lithium chloride is generated, after filtration, the filtrate is evaporated and concentrated to precipitate crystals, and then cooled and rapidly suction filtered to prepare Anhydrous Lithium chloride finished product.
