Lithium carbonate

Lithium carbonate has another name - lithium salt of carbonic acid.

Lithium carbonate is produced by passing carbon dioxide through a solution of lithium hydroxide. Or when the interaction of soda or potassium carbonate with a solution of lithium salts.

It is the basis - actively reacts with acids, causes corrosion processes of aluminum alloys and zinc. Actively interacts with fluorides.

Precautionary measures:

If inhaled, it causes a burning sensation and coughing.
Irritating to skin and mucous membranes.

Frequently asked questions (FAQ) about Lithium carbonate

Are lithium carbonate and carbonate of lithium the same substance?

Yes, these are two names for the same substance with the formula Li₂CO₃. The English name “lithium carbonate” may also appear in documents. When purchasing, it is important to check not only the name but also TU 95.1951-89, the mass fraction of the main substance, the content of iron oxide, calcium oxide, sodium oxide, chlorides, sulfates, magnesium and water. For an enterprise, these indicators matter for incoming inspection and assessing batch stability.

How to check the quality of lithium carbonate upon receipt of a batch?

When receiving lithium carbonate, the integrity of the bags, labelling, production date, quality certificate and the compliance of actual indicators with purchase requirements are checked. Laboratory control focuses on the mass fraction of Li₂CO₃, moisture, and the content of iron, calcium, sodium, magnesium, chlorides and sulfates. Visually, the product should be a white powder, without wetting, contamination or foreign inclusions. If the raw material differs in colour, free-flowing quality or moisture content, it is better to check it before transferring it into production.

How does lithium carbonate behave when preparing working media?

Lithium carbonate is a fine powder that, with correct water preparation and stirring, can be evenly transferred into a working medium or suspension. Under production conditions it is important to control dosing, water quality, temperature and the absence of foreign impurities in the container. If the process is sensitive to trace ions, the actual quality certificate indicators are checked before putting the batch into use. For stable operation, it is better not to mix residues from different batches without laboratory assessment.

How to store lithium carbonate in a warehouse?

Lithium carbonate is stored in a dry, unheated warehouse, in sealed factory packaging and protected from moisture. If it gets wet, the powder can cake, become harder to dose and require additional preparation before use. Bags are placed on pallets, separately from acids, open water and materials that could contaminate the batch. For a wholesale buyer, preserved labelling, quality certificate, production date and observance of the guaranteed shelf life are important.
