Lithium Hydroxide Production Cost Reports

Lithium Hydroxide production cost report provides a comprehensive analysis and know-how for setting up a Lithium Hydroxide production plant. The study covers all the requisite aspects that one needs to know for the production of Lithium Hydroxide. This includes manufacturing processes, raw material requirements, utility requirements, infrastructure requirements, machinery and technology requirements, manpower requirements, packaging requirements, transportation requirements, etc.

 
Lithium Hydroxide (LiOH) is an inorganic compound that exists in a hydrated and anhydrous form. LiOH is a white hygroscopic solid that is a strong base as well as a weak alkali metal hydroxide.

The solution looks like a clear, water-white liquid and has a pungent smell. Its contact can lead to major irritation in the eyes, skin and mucous membranes. It might also be toxic upon inhalation, ingestion, and skin absorption. It has a molar mass of 23.95 g/mol (anhydrous), 41.96 g/mol (monohydrate), and a density of 1.46 g/cm3 (anhydrous), 1.51 g/cm3 (monohydrate).

Its respective melting and boiling points are 462 °C (864 °F; 735 K) and 924 °C (1,695 °F). It is soluble in water and has a solubility of 12.7 g/100 mL (0 °C), 12.8 g/100 mL (20 °C), and 17.5 g/100 mL (100 °C). It's sparingly soluble in alcohol.

Lithium Hydroxide (LiOH) is mainly used to manufacture chemicals in rechargeable batteries for mobile phones, digital cameras, laptops, and electric vehicles, which are driving its market growth. It's used in proteins & foods for tryptophan determinations. It’s also used as starting material to produce many lithium chemicals like lithium's fluoride, chloride, bromide, and iodide.

Furthermore, it has various diverse applications, including its use in absorbing unwanted gas like carbon dioxide from the air in spacecraft; to making lithium salts of fatty acids, as an electrolyte in batteries used in pacemakers, digital cameras, watches and smartphones, in cleaning solutions like laundry detergent, and fabric conditioners; as a dye; in the ceramic and paint industry as well as a coolant in water reactors and for corrosion control. Also, its usually employed in the production of lithium carbonate and water in respiratory gas purification devices for spacecraft, submarines, and rebreathers;  and in toys, heart pacemakers, and clocks.
