The main uses of lithium carbonate
2023-10-16 15:25Lithium carbonate is a fundamental compound of lithium, which can be widely used in industries, pharmaceuticals, batteries, and other fields.
1. Lithium carbonate is used in industry to manufacture other lithium salts, such as lithium chloride and lithium bromide.
2. It is also used as a raw material for lithium oxide in enamel, glass, ceramics, and enamel, and is added to the electrolytic cells for aluminum electrolysis to increase current efficiency and reduce the internal resistance and temperature of the cells.
3. Semiconductor, ceramics, television, medicine, and atomic energy industries also have applications.
4. Used as an analytical reagent in analytical chemistry. Used as a setting accelerator in cement admixtures.
5. Industrial lithium carbonate is widely used in fields such as atomic energy, aerospace, military industry, refrigeration, welding, lithium alloys, controlled nuclear fusion reactors, metallurgy and continuous casting.
6. Battery grade lithium carbonate can be used as electrode material and electrolyte material for lithium-ion batteries.
7. Medicinal lithium carbonate is known as an "emotional corrector" and can also be used to manufacture other lithium compounds used in medicine.
8. Used for producing sound grade single crystals and optical grade single crystals. It is also a raw material for producing high-purity lithium compounds and metallic lithium.
9. High purity lithium carbonate is mainly used in the preparation of high-end lithium-ion battery cathode materials and battery grade lithium fluoride; In terms of optoelectronic information, high-purity lithium carbonate is used to prepare lithium tantalate and lithium niobate; At the same time, high-purity lithium carbonate is also used in the optical special glass, magnetic material industry, supercapacitors, pharmaceutical industry, and other industries.
