Function and purpose:

Raw material for preparing metallic lithium. Flux in the production of metal by electrolysis (such as the production of titanium and aluminum), used as aluminum welding agent, air conditioning dehumidifier and special cement raw material, also used in flames, in the battery industry for the production of lithium manganese battery electrolyte, etc. . Anhydrous lithium chloride is mainly used for electrolytic preparation of metallic lithium and aluminum fluxes and fluxes, as well as moisture absorbing (dehumidifying) agents in non-refrigerated air conditioners.

The chemical formula of anhydrous lithium chloride is LiCl, the relative molecular weight is 42.39, which is cubic crystal white particles or powder, which is easy to deliquesce and tastes salty. It belongs to the low-toxicity category, but has a strong irritating and corrosive effect on the eyes and mucous membranes. The specific gravity is 2.068, the melting point is 605°C, the boiling point is 1360°C, and it is easily soluble in water [67 grams (0°C) in 100 grams of water, 127.5 grams (100°C)]. Soluble in alcohol, slightly soluble in acetone, pyridine and liquid ammonia.
