Product Overview
Lithium sulfate anhydrous (99.7% metals basis) is a high-purity, water-soluble inorganic compound essential for laboratory applications requiring precise chemical composition. This grade ensures minimal impurities, making it suitable for sensitive reactions and analytical procedures. The anhydrous form guarantees low moisture content, preventing unwanted hydration effects in experiments. Its fine powder consistency allows for easy dissolution and uniform mixing in solutions. The compound’s stability under standard lab conditions ensures reliable performance in long-duration experiments. With a high lithium content, it serves as an efficient source for lithium-based reactions while maintaining consistent stoichiometry. The product undergoes rigorous quality control to meet ACS standards for research-grade chemicals. Its non-hygroscopic nature simplifies handling and storage compared to hydrated alternatives. The white crystalline appearance provides visual confirmation of purity, while the 99.7% assay guarantees accurate experimental results. This grade is particularly valued in applications where trace metal contamination could affect outcomes.
FAQs
1. What is the difference between anhydrous and hydrated lithium sulfate?
Anhydrous lithium sulfate contains no water molecules in its crystal structure, while hydrated forms have bound water. This anhydrous version offers higher purity and stability for moisture-sensitive applications.
2. Can this product be used for battery research?
The 99.7% purity makes it suitable for preliminary battery material research, though specialized battery-grade lithium compounds may be required for commercial applications.
3. What is the typical shelf life of this chemical?
When stored in a tightly sealed container away from moisture, the product maintains its specifications for at least 3 years from the date of manufacture.
4. Is this lithium sulfate compatible with organic solvents?
It shows limited solubility in most organic solvents but dissolves readily in water and polar solvents like methanol and ethanol.
5. What safety precautions should be taken when handling this chemical?
Use standard lab safety measures including gloves, goggles, and proper ventilation. Avoid inhalation of dust and skin contact as it may cause irritation.
