| Application | lithium fluoride can be widely used as a cosolvent in glass, copper, aluminum welding process and salt melting chemical process; it is also recommended as a heat carrier for the storage of solar radiation in aerospace technology; It can also be used in the electrolysis and metallurgical industries of aluminum. High purity lithium fluoride is used to make fluorinated glass, and can also be used to make the prism of Spectrometer and X-ray monochromator. Raw materials for lithium ion batteries. used as desiccant and flux, also used in the manufacture of optical glass used as additives for aluminum electrolysis and rare earth electrolysis, optical glass manufacturing, desiccant, flux and so on photoelectric material research for insulating material coating, electrode modification layer. battery grade lithium fluoride is one of the key raw materials for the production of lithium hexafluorophosphate, a commonly used electrolyte for lithium ion batteries. Prisms used in the manufacture of spectrometers and X-ray monochromators are used as carriers for proliferation reactions. |
| production method | There are two methods: neutralization method and double decomposition method. Industrial production using the neutralization method. The neutralization method is to prepare lithium fluoride by reacting lithium carbonate or lithium hydroxide with hydrofluoric acid. Li2CO3 2HF = 2LiF CO2 H2O the solid lithium carbonate was added to the hydrogen fluoride solution to react and precipitate LiF crystals, which were filtered and dried to obtain the product. |
