Lithium Hydroxide Monohydrate CAS 1310-66-3 LiOH ≥56.5% Purity 97.5-102.5%

Lithium Hydroxide Monohydrate (LiOH·H2O) (CAS: 1310-66-3) can be used as a raw material for preparing lithium compounds. It can also be used in metallurgy, petroleum, glass, ceramics and other industries. Battery-grade lithium hydroxide monohydrate is mainly used in the preparation of cathode materials for lithium-ion batteries, and it can also be used as an additive for alkaline battery electrolytes. Photographic developer, preparation of lithium salt, production of alcohol to resin, catalyst. Reagent for the decomposition of oxides and silicates.
Both Lithium Hydroxide and Lithium Hydroxide Monohydrate are colorless crystalline solids at ordinary temperatures. Both are strong bases and should be handled with caution in order to avoid caustic burns. Both absorb carbon dioxide from the air to form lithium carbonate. The solubility of lithium hydroxide in water is lower than that of the other alkali metal hydroxides. However, lithium hydroxide is a strong base and reacts completely with both weak and strong acids in aqueous solutions.
A principal use of lithium hydroxide monohydrate is as a starting material for numerous other lithium chemicals such as lithium fluoride, lithium chloride, lithium bromide and lithium iodide.
Lithium Hydroxide Monohydrate is used for the production of lithium greases, lithium soaps, lithium stearate and lithium salts. It finds application as a carbon dioxide adsorbent in breathing gas purification systems for spacecrafts, submarines and rebreathers; as a storage-battery electrolyte; as a heat transfer medium and as a catalyst for polymerization reaction.
