What is Lithium Nitrate?
Lithium Nitrate is the chemical compound with the formula LiNO₃. It is a salt consisting of lithium ions (Li⁺) and nitrate ions (NO₃⁻). Lithium Nitrate appears as a white powder that is highly soluble in water. It is often used in laboratory applications and industrial processes.
Because it is a strong oxidizing substance, it must always be kept separate from flammable and reducing materials.
How is Lithium Nitrate made?
Industrially, lithium nitrate is produced by dissolving lithium carbonate in nitric acid, resulting in lithium nitrate as the final product. The process follows these steps:
Applications of Lithium Nitrate
Heat storage – Used in thermal energy storage systems, such as solar energy and air conditioning.
Analytical chemistry – Applied in laboratories for chemical analyses and test reactions.
Catalyst – Used in organic reactions to accelerate and make processes more selective.
Pyrotechnics – Provides the characteristic bright red color in fireworks.
Glass and ceramics industry – As an additive to influence properties such as color and thermal expansion.
