Basic Info

Physical and Chemical Properties of Lithium Carbonate
Lithium carbonate is a white crystalline powder or particle with a density of 2.11 g/cm ³ and a melting point of 720 ℃. It is slightly soluble in water and insoluble in ethanol.
Lithium carbonate aqueous solution is alkaline and easily reacts with acids to form lithium salts and release CO ₂. Has good thermal stability, but decomposes into lithium oxide (Li ₂ O) and carbon dioxide at high temperatures. These properties require strict control of environmental conditions, especially humidity and temperature, in industrial applications.

Lithium carbonate is mainly produced through purification of lithium ore or salt lake brine in industry. The ore method requires high-temperature calcination, acid leaching, and other steps to convert into soluble lithium salts, which then react with sodium carbonate to precipitate; Salt lake brine is obtained by evaporation concentration, impurity removal, and precipitation with sodium carbonate.

High purity lithium carbonate needs further purification, with impurity content below ppm level, to meet the synthesis requirements of lithium battery cathode materials.

As a fundamental lithium compound, Lithium carbonate is a key precursor for the preparation of other lithium salts. In the field of lithium batteries, it synthesizes positive electrode materials through high-temperature solid-state reactions; In the glass ceramic industry, the thermal stability and lithium ion activity of Lithium carbonate can lower the melting point and improve the thermal expansion performance;
In addition, Lithium carbonate is also used as an additive in aluminum electrolysis, in the pharmaceutical and nuclear industries. The core chemical function of Lithium carbonate is to provide lithium ions (Li ⁺) and its reactivity in high temperature or acidic environments.

Lithium carbonate

As a lithium compound of key importance, Lithium Carbonate (Li2 CO) has many applications in different industrial fields.

Lithium iron phosphate is used as an electrode material in the lithium battery industry. Lithium Carbonate is produced by a high-temperature solid state reaction using iron salts and other phosphates. It is used for power batteries and energy-storage systems.

1.Use lithium carbonate for low-end electric vehicles and power tools.

Purified Lithium Carbonate is used for battery cycling stability and to improve electrolyte performance.

2. Glass and Ceramic Industry

Lithium Carbonate improves glass melting efficiency by reducing the melting point and viscosity of the glass.

Heat-resistant glass with improved heat shock resistance.

Lithium Carbonate can improve transparency and reduce bubbles.

The use of lithium carbonate to adjust thermal expansion coefficients can prevent the surface of the glaze from cracking.

As a precursor to spodumene, lithium carbonate (LiAlSi2O6) reduces the temperature of sintering.

3. Aluminum smelting

Addition of electrolytic aluminum to the cell can reduce the melting point and fluoride volatility, increase current efficiency, as well as save energy.

4. Pharmaceutical industry

Treatment of mental illness: Lithium Carbonate is used as an emotional stabiliser to treat bipolar disorder, depression and other mental illnesses by regulating the neurotransmitters.
