Product Overview
Lithium carbonate (99.999% trace metal basis) is a high-purity, extra-fine powder designed for applications demanding minimal metallic impurities. Its ultra-low trace metal content ensures reliable results in sensitive analytical procedures, synthesis, and research-grade formulations. The compound’s consistent particle size distribution enhances solubility and reactivity, making it ideal for precise stoichiometric reactions. Free from common contaminants like iron, nickel, or chromium, this grade is optimized for experiments where trace metal interference could compromise outcomes. The product is packaged in airtight containers to prevent moisture absorption and oxidation, preserving its purity over extended storage periods. Compatible with most organic and inorganic solvents, it integrates seamlessly into existing lab workflows without requiring additional purification steps. Whether used as a reagent, catalyst, or precursor, this lithium carbonate delivers reproducibility and accuracy in critical applications.
FAQs
1. What is the typical shelf life of this lithium carbonate grade?
When stored in a cool, dry place in its original sealed packaging, the product retains its purity for up to 3 years from the date of manufacture. Exposure to humidity or air may reduce its effectiveness over time.
2. Is this lithium carbonate compatible with glassware and standard lab equipment?
Yes, it is chemically stable with borosilicate glass and most lab-grade plastics like PTFE or HDPE. Avoid prolonged contact with metals to prevent contamination, especially in trace-sensitive applications.
3. Are there lower-purity alternatives available for general lab use?
For less demanding applications, lithium carbonate with 99.5% or 99.0% purity is commonly used. However, these grades may contain higher levels of trace metals, affecting sensitive analyses.
4. How should I handle spills or accidental exposure?
In case of spills, contain the material and collect it using a non-reactive scoop. Avoid inhaling dust—use in a fume hood or well-ventilated area. Wash exposed skin with soap and water immediately.
5. Can this product be used in electrochemical applications?
While it is chemically suitable for some electrochemical setups, its high purity makes it cost-prohibitive for bulk use. For such applications, consult compatibility data or opt for specialized electrochemical-grade lithium salts.
