Lithium chloride is a chemical compound with the formula LiCl. The salt is a typical ionic compound (with certain covalent characters), although the small size of the Li+ ion gives rise to properties not seen for other alkali metal chlorides, such as extraordinary solubility in polar solvents (83.05 g/100 mL of water at 20 °C) and its hygroscopic properties.
Lithium chloride is mainly used for the production of lithium metal by electrolysis of a LiCl/KCl melt at 450 °C (842 °F). LiCl is also used as a brazing flux for aluminum in automobile parts. It is used as a desiccant for drying air streams. In more specialized applications, lithium chloride finds some use in organic synthesis, e.g., as an additive in the Stille reaction. Also, in biochemical applications, it can be used to precipitate RNA from cellular extracts.
Lithium chloride is also used as a flame colorant to produce dark red flames.
Uses of Lithium Chloride – LiCl
Used in large dehumidification systems in the air conditioning industry. It depends on the low equilibrium pressure of water vapor above solutions of lithium chloride.
Used in a number of salt mixtures exist low melting points allowing the material to be used in brazing fluxes and brazing baths.
Used as an electrolyte for the production of lithium metal and used as an electrolyte in voltaic cells.
