Product Overview
Lithium granules (99% purity) are a highly reactive alkali metal supplied in a controlled 1-6mm particle size range, ensuring uniform reactivity for laboratory applications. This high-purity form is essential for experiments requiring precise elemental composition, such as chemical synthesis, battery research, and metallurgical processes. The granules are packaged under inert conditions to prevent oxidation, maintaining their integrity during storage and handling. Due to lithium’s low density and high electrochemical potential, these granules are favored in advanced research settings where consistency and purity are critical. The 99% grade minimizes impurities, reducing the risk of side reactions in sensitive applications. For safety, these granules must be stored in a dry, inert atmosphere and handled with appropriate protective equipment. The uniform size distribution ensures predictable dissolution rates and reaction kinetics, making them a reliable choice for demanding lab protocols.
FAQs
1. What precautions are needed when handling lithium granules?
Lithium reacts violently with water and moisture, so always use gloves, goggles, and a fume hood. Store under mineral oil or argon gas to prevent oxidation.
2. Can these granules be used for battery anode research?
Yes, the 99% purity and consistent particle size make them suitable for lithium-ion battery development and testing.
3. How should lithium granules be stored long-term?
Keep sealed in an airtight container under inert gas (e.g., argon) in a cool, dry place away from oxidizers.
4. Are there alternatives to lithium granules for similar applications?
Lithium foil or powder may be used, but granules offer better handling safety and controlled reactivity in some experiments.
5. Is this product compatible with standard lab glassware?
No, lithium corrodes glass. Use PTFE or stainless steel containers for reactions involving these granules.
