Lithium Sulphate

Product Description

Lithium Sulphate is a high quality industrial-grade powder with a purity of 97%. It is commonly used in various industrial applications due to its excellent chemical properties. This product is highly soluble in water and has a pH level of 3.0, making it an ideal choice for manufacturing processes that require a stable and consistent pH level. Lithium Sulphate is stored at room temperature and should be handled with care as it is poisonous. This product is popularly used in the manufacturing of lithium-ion batteries, ceramics, glass, and other specialty chemicals.

Lithium sulfate is a white inorganic salt with the formula Li2SO4. It is the lithium salt of sulfuric acid.

Lithium sulfate is soluble in water, though it does not follow the usual trend of increasing solubility of most salts with temperature. To the contrary, its solubility in water decreases with increasing temperature, as its dissolution is an exothermic process. This relatively unusual property, also called retrograde solubility, is shared with few inorganic compounds, such as calcium hydroxide (portlandite, an important mineral phase of hydrated cement paste), the calcium sulfates (gypsum, bassanite, and anhydrite) and lanthanoid sulfates whose dissolution reactions are also exothermic. The retrograde solubility is common for gases dissolution in water, but less frequently encountered for the dissolution of solids. Calcium carbonate also exhibits a retrograde solubility, but it also depends on the behavior of CO2 dissolution in the calco-carbonate equilibria.
