Product Overview
This Puratronic-grade lithium carbonate delivers exceptional purity (99.998% metals basis) with calcium content strictly controlled below 20ppm, ensuring minimal interference in sensitive applications. Engineered for laboratories demanding ultra-low impurity levels, it provides consistent batch-to-batch performance for critical processes. The fine powder form enables easy dissolution and precise dosing, while the rigorous purification process eliminates trace metals that could compromise results. Ideal for advanced research environments where baseline purity directly impacts experimental outcomes, this lithium carbonate meets the exacting standards of battery material development, high-precision chemical synthesis, and analytical calibration. The product undergoes multi-stage quality control, including ICP-MS analysis, to verify its ultra-high purity specifications. Packaged in inert containers to prevent contamination during storage and handling.
FAQs
1. What is the typical shelf life of this lithium carbonate?
When stored in its original sealed container under dry conditions at room temperature, this product maintains its specified purity for at least 24 months from the date of manufacture.
2. Is this product compatible with standard lithium-ion battery electrolyte formulations?
Yes, the ultra-low calcium content and high purity make it suitable for electrolyte preparation, though specific compatibility should be verified against your formulation’s requirements.
3. How does this compare to standard reagent-grade lithium carbonate?
Puratronic grade offers significantly lower impurity levels (especially calcium) compared to reagent-grade, which typically contains higher trace metal concentrations that could affect sensitive applications.
4. What precautions should be taken during handling?
Use in a well-ventilated area with standard lab safety equipment. While not highly reactive, the fine powder can be irritating if inhaled, so respiratory protection is recommended during weighing.
5. Can this be used as a primary standard for titration?
The high purity makes it theoretically suitable, but you should verify against your specific titration requirements as moisture absorption could affect accuracy if not properly stored.
