The role and use of lithium carbonate in the building materials industry

Lithium carbonates used in the building materials industry mainly has the following functions and uses:

As raw material: Lithium carbonates is an important raw material for the preparation of various lithium compounds and metallic lithium. 

Glass and Ceramics Industry: In the glass and ceramics industry, Carbonic acid lithium salt (Li2CO3) is used as a raw material to help improve the quality and performance of products. 

Enamel glass additive: It can increase the smoothness of enamel glass and lower the melting point, thereby enhancing the acid resistance, cold shock resistance and heat shock resistance of porcelain. 

Electronic and optoelectronic equipment: In the field of electronic and optoelectronic equipment, Carbonic acid lithium salt (Li2CO3) can be used in synthetic rubber, dyes, semiconductors, and military and defense industries. 

Medical Use: industrial grade lithium carbonates is used as a sedative in the treatment of manic psychosis. 

Battery materials: Industrial grade and battery grade Carbonic acid lithium salt (Li2CO3) are used to prepare lithium iron phosphate, lithium manganate, lithium cobalt oxide, medium and low nickel ternary materials and other products respectively. These materials are widely used in the positive electrode of lithium-ion batteries.

In summary, industrial grade lithium carbonates is widely used in the building materials industry, not only limited to the aspects mentioned above, but also includes some other specific uses.
