FAQs of Lithium Chloride Anhydrous:
Q: How should I properly store Lithium Chloride Anhydrous?
A: To maintain the stability and high quality of Lithium Chloride Anhydrous, store it in tightly sealed HDPE containers in a cool, dry location. Avoid exposure to moisture, as it is highly hygroscopic and readily absorbs water from the air, which can compromise its performance and purity.
Q: What are the main industrial uses of Lithium Chloride Anhydrous?
A: Lithium Chloride Anhydrous is widely applied in lithium-ion battery production, chemical synthesis, metallurgical processes, and as a moisture-absorbing desiccant due to its high thermal and electrical conductivity and strong hygroscopic properties.
Q: When does Lithium Chloride Anhydrous decompose, and what precautions are necessary?
A: Lithium Chloride Anhydrous decomposes above 1360C, after reaching its boiling point. Careful thermal management is advised in high-temperature applications, and appropriate safety protocols should be followed as it is classified under toxic substances (Hazard Class 6.1, UN 2816).
Q: Where is Lithium Chloride Anhydrous commonly distributed and supplied?
A: We offer this product across India as a manufacturer, supplier, exporter, importer, distributor, retailer, trader, and wholesaler. Packaging in HDPE drums or bottles ensures the product reaches end-users in prime condition.
Q: What safety measures are recommended when handling Lithium Chloride Anhydrous?
A: Wear appropriate protective equipment, including gloves and safety goggles, and avoid breathing dust or allowing the substance to come into contact with the skin or eyes. Work in a well-ventilated area and adhere to all safety labeling instructions, as this compound is toxic and may be irritating.
Q: How is Lithium Chloride Anhydrous used as a desiccant?
A: Due to its high affinity for moisture, Lithium Chloride Anhydrous is added to desiccator systems or process streams to effectively absorb water vapour. Its hygroscopic nature ensures optimal drying in sensitive laboratory or industrial environments.
Q: What benefits does Lithium Chloride Anhydrous offer over other salts?
A: Lithium Chloride Anhydrous features a high degree of solubility, electrical and thermal conductivity, and compatibility with most reagents. Its stable powder form, long shelf life, and proven safety compliance make it a superior choice for demanding scientific and industrial applications.
