Lithium Sulfate Production Cost Reports

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

Lithium Sulfate (Li2SO4) is a colorless compound that is mainly composed of two lithium, one sulfur, and four oxygen atoms. Its molecular weight is 110.0 g/mol. It is a metal sulfate that has very limited industrial use. It is a monoclinic or hexagonal crystalline solid that is non-flammable in nature. It is an inorganic salt that is also considered the lithium salt of sulfuric acid. It is generally soluble in water. However, its solubility in water decreases with an increase in the temperature. Its dissolution in water is an exothermic process.

It is hygroscopic in nature. Lithium Sulfate, along with lithium chloride, exhibits high water solubility. It can dissociate in an aqueous environment to form an aqueous solution of lithium compound. Its density is 2.22 g/cm3. It generally occurs in a supersonic state at a temperature above 575 °C, with an electric conductivity of 0.1 S/cm. The compound is sensitive to hydrostatic pressure and can be influenced when subjected to any alterations in the pressure.

It has a number of applications in different domains. The compound is utilized as a chemical ingredient in manufacturing ion-conducting glasses. It is a potential chemical that can be added for manufacturing transparent conducting films that produce stable, high-lithium-concentrated glass. It is added in molten salt baths to strengthen the glass materials. It serves to speed up the hydration reaction in preparing Portland cement. Lithium Sulfate has medical and therapeutic applications, as well.

The compound can be used in treating bipolar disorder. It is used in psychiatry and helps in the treatment of endogenous depression, mania psychosis, etc. It can be used as an alternative to lithium carbonate in treating schizophrenia. Moreover, it has a vital role to play in organic chemistry. The compound is used in the synthesis of other chemicals. It serves as a catalyst in the elimination reaction to produce 1-butene at a range of around 320 to 370.
