Product Overview
Lithium chloride anhydrous (99% purity) is a highly hygroscopic crystalline powder widely used in laboratory settings for its exceptional solubility and reactivity. This ultra-pure grade ensures minimal impurities, making it ideal for applications requiring precise chemical control. Its anhydrous nature eliminates water content, preventing unwanted reactions in moisture-sensitive processes. The compound exhibits excellent thermal stability, maintaining integrity across a broad temperature range. Due to its ionic nature, it serves as an effective electrolyte in specialized solutions. The fine particle size ensures rapid dissolution, while the high purity level guarantees consistent experimental results. This grade is particularly valued in analytical chemistry for its predictable behavior and reliability. Proper storage in airtight containers is essential to maintain its anhydrous properties. The product meets stringent quality standards, ensuring batch-to-batch consistency for critical laboratory applications.
FAQs
1. What is the shelf life of anhydrous lithium chloride when stored properly?
When kept in a tightly sealed container under dry conditions, anhydrous lithium chloride maintains its purity for up to 2 years from the date of manufacture.
2. Can this lithium chloride be used in electrochemical applications?
The 99% pure anhydrous grade is suitable for many electrochemical applications due to its ionic nature and high solubility, though specific suitability depends on your experimental parameters.
3. What precautions should be taken when handling this chemical?
Always wear appropriate PPE including gloves and goggles, work in a well-ventilated area, and avoid moisture exposure as it’s highly hygroscopic.
4. How does this compare to lithium chloride dihydrate?
The anhydrous form contains no water molecules, offering higher purity and different solubility characteristics compared to the dihydrate version.
5. What’s the typical particle size distribution for this product?
The crystalline powder typically ranges between 50-200 microns, providing a balance between flowability and dissolution rate.
