Introduction
Lithium bromide is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula LiBr. The following is an introduction to the properties, uses, preparation methods and safety information of lithium bromide:Quality:- Lithium bromide is a colorless crystal with a specific bitter taste.- It has good solubility, dissolves quickly in water, and produces a lithium bromide solution.- Lithium bromide has a melting point of 550 °C (lit.) and a boiling point of 1265 °C.- It is a salt with high electrical conductivity that conducts electricity in solution.Use:- Lithium bromide is commonly used in the preparation of other metal bromides.- It can be used as a fungicide and disinfectant for water treatment and swimming pool disinfection.- Lithium bromide can also be used as a smoke suppressant, used in fires to slow down fires.- It is used as a hygroscopic agent and solvent in air conditioning and refrigeration systems.Preparation method:- Lithium bromide is usually obtained by reacting potassium bromide with lithium carbonate. The reaction equation is 2KBr Li2CO3 -> 2LiBr K2CO3.Safety Information:- Lithium bromide is a toxic substance that should be handled and stored properly.- Wear appropriate protective gear, such as gloves and goggles, when handling lithium bromide.- Avoid inhaling lithium bromide dust or vapors and avoid skin contact.- Maintain a well-ventilated environment when using lithium bromide and avoid contact with acidic substances to avoid dangerous substances.- In case of accidental exposure to lithium bromide, rinse immediately with plenty of water and seek medical assistance.
