Flux Inorganic Chemicals Lithium Chloride CAS 7447-41-8 Air Conditioning Dehumidifier Bleaching Powder

Introduction:

Lithium chloride is a white powder or small particles at room temperature. It is the most deliquescent of known salts. It tastes very salty, like chloride. It melts into a clear liquid when heated to dark red, and evaporates when heated to white heat. Lithium chloride has a sodium chloride structure, in which the chemical bonds are not typical ionic bonds, so it is easily soluble in water, with a solubility of 67g/100ml water under standard conditions.

Uses:

Lithium chloride has a wide range of uses. The electrolytic production of metallic lithium is the area with the largest consumption of lithium chloride. The only industrial method for producing metallic lithium at present is the lithium chloride molten salt electrolysis method 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, etc. In recent years, lithium chloride has been widely used in biology, medicine and other fields. In medicine, it is used to treat diabetes, genetic research, etc.; in biology, it is used to extract RNA and extract and purify a small amount of plasmid DNA; as a mutagen, it is widely used in the selection of high-quality strains, cultivation of high-yield strains, synthesis of pharmaceutical intermediates, and genetic modification of strains in the food (beer), medicine, environmental protection and other industries; in organic structure analysis, LiCl is an important cationic additive; in the field of new materials, it is widely used in the production of chitin (quality); in air conditioners and dehumidifiers, it is used as an adsorbent and dehumidifier.
