Key Industrial Applications

Lithium carbonate is an indispensable material in the production of rechargeable batteries, specialty glass, ceramics, and pharmaceuticals. Its high purity ensures reliable performance across these sectors. Its slightly alkaline nature and stability add value whether used as a raw material for lithium compounds or as a key ingredient in innovative product formulations.

Safe Storage & Handling Practices

Given its classification as a hazardous substance (Hazard Class 6.1), lithium carbonate requires careful storage and handling. Store the powder in tightly sealed containers in a cool, dry environment to maintain quality and prevent accidental exposure. Always use protective gloves and safety goggles when handling to minimize risks associated with its toxicity.

FAQs of Lithium Carbonate:

Q: How should lithium carbonate be handled to ensure user safety?

A: Lithium carbonate must be handled with protective gloves and goggles to guard against accidental exposure, as it is toxic in high doses. It should always be managed in well-ventilated areas to further reduce the risk of inhalation.

Q: What primary industries use lithium carbonate, and why?

A: Lithium carbonate is mainly utilized in battery manufacturing, ceramics, specialty glass, and pharmaceuticals. Its high purity and alkaline properties make it valuable as a key material in these applications, providing stability and enhancing product quality.

Q: Where should lithium carbonate be stored for maximum shelf life?

A: For optimal longevity, lithium carbonate should be stored in a tightly closed container placed in a cool, dry location. This prevents moisture absorption and degradation, maintaining its effectiveness for up to three years.

Q: What is the recommended process for dissolving lithium carbonate in water?

A: To achieve proper dissolution, gradually add lithium carbonate to water at room temperature, stirring continuously. Although only 1.3 g/L dissolves at 20C, thorough mixing helps distribute the powder evenly.

Q: When is lithium carbonate most beneficial in industrial use?

A: Lithium carbonate delivers maximum benefits when incorporated as a raw material in lithium-ion batteries, specialty glass production, high-performance ceramics, and certain pharmaceutical compounds due to its stability and high purity.

Q: What are the packaging options for lithium carbonate exports?

A: Lithium carbonate is available for export in 25 kg bags or drums, catering to industrial-scale requirements in markets across Asia, Europe, and America.
