About Lithium Hydroxide

Lithium Hydroxide is an inorganic compound which is a white hygroscopic crystalline material. It is water soluble and also slightly soluble in ethanol. This is used in breathing gas purification systems for submarines and spacecraft. Used for production of lithium greases, our lithium hydroxideis packed in quality checked different packaging bags. In addition to this, offered Lithium Hydroxide is known for its soluble in water, longer shelf life, safe to use and precisely processed qualities.

Versatile Applications in Modern Industries

Lithium Hydroxide excels as a key component in lithium-ion battery production, making it indispensable for the energy storage sector. Its usage extends to ceramics, industrial lubricants, catalysts, and maintaining air quality in confined environments. The compounds effectiveness is underpinned by stringent manufacturing to GB/T 10500-2008 or equivalent standards, serving industries across global markets.

Safe Handling and Storage Recommendations

Due to its corrosive nature, Lithium Hydroxide must be handled with appropriate protective equipment. Store it in tightly sealed containers, in cool, dry areas, and away from incompatible substances. Following proper safety protocols ensures product integrity over its two-year shelf life and mitigates associated health hazards.

Tailored Supply and Packaging Options

Whether you require lithium hydroxide as a powder or granule, the particle size can be customized to meet industrial or laboratory specifications. The chemical is distributed globally in standardized 25 kg bags, 1000 kg jumbo bags, or formats tailored to customer needs, ensuring ease of transport and storage.

FAQs of Lithium Hydroxide:

Q: How is Lithium Hydroxide typically produced?

A: Lithium Hydroxide is manufactured through either the evaporation of lithium-rich brine or via a chemical reaction between lithium carbonate and calcium hydroxide. Both processes yield a highly pure and stable product suitable for various industrial applications.

Q: What precautions should be taken when handling Lithium Hydroxide?

A: Always use protective equipment, including gloves and eye protection, as Lithium Hydroxide is corrosive and can cause severe burns. Store the chemical in tightly-sealed containers, in a cool, dry location, and handle with care during usage and transfer.

Q: When does Lithium Hydroxide expire or lose efficacy?

A: Lithium Hydroxide has a recommended shelf life of two years, provided it is kept in well-sealed containers and stored in a cool, dry environment. Proper storage prevents moisture uptake and maintains product quality.

Q: Where is Lithium Hydroxide most commonly used?

A: It is widely used across battery manufacturing, especially for lithium-ion batteries, ceramics, specialty lubricants, catalyst production, and in air purification systems for controlled environments such as submarines or spacecraft.

Q: What are the benefits of using Lithium Hydroxide in industrial processes?

A: Lithium Hydroxide offers high purity, strong alkalinity (pH ~13 in 1% solution), water solubility, and versatility. These characteristics enhance efficiency in energy storage systems, optimize ceramic glazing, and improve the performance of industrial catalysts and lubricants.

Q: How is Lithium Hydroxide supplied to customers?

A: The compound is available in customizable particle sizes with packaging options such as 25 kg bags, 1000 kg jumbo bags, or customer-specified formats, meeting diverse industrial and laboratory requirements while facilitating global export.
