Lithium chloride anhydrous is a white, crystalline salt primarily used in industrial and laboratory settings. It is commonly employed in the production of lithium metal through electrolysis, as a flux in aluminum processing, and as a desiccant for drying air and gases due to its strong hygroscopic nature. Additionally, it finds applications in ceramics, metallurgy, and specialty chemical synthesis.

Industrial Uses

1. Pharmaceuticals

  • Electrolyte in Medical Devices: Used in lithium-based batteries for implantable medical devices due to its excellent conductivity.
  • Reagent in Drug Synthesis: Serves as a catalyst or reagent in the synthesis of certain pharmaceutical compounds, particularly in organolithium chemistry.

2. Performance Chemicals

  • Catalyst & Reagent: Acts as a catalyst or co-catalyst in organic reactions, including halogen exchange, polymerizations, and condensation reactions.
  • Desiccant in Reactions: Due to its hygroscopic nature, it is used as a drying agent in chemical synthesis to remove moisture from solvents and reaction systems.

3. Agrochemicals

  • Synthesis Intermediate: Utilized in the preparation of some agrochemical intermediates and specialty pesticides where lithium salts are required.
  • Stabilizer: May be used to stabilize certain formulations, though this is not a primary application.

4. Paints, Coatings & Adhesives

  • Moisture Control: Incorporated into formulations where control of humidity or drying behavior is critical (more in R&D or specialty adhesives).
  • Electrochemical Adhesives: Used in advanced adhesive systems for battery components where ionic conductivity is needed.
