What is Lithium sulfate?

Chemical properties

White crystalline powder

The Uses of Lithium sulfate

Lithium sulfate, anhydrous is used to treat bipolar disorder, solar panels and the potential for a new class of battery, and used as a catalyst for the elimination reaction.

Definition

ChEBI: Lithium sulfate is a metal sulfate in which the counterion is lithium and the ratio of lithium to sulfate is 2:1. It has a role as an antidepressant. It contains a lithium(1+).

Preparation

Industrially lithium sulfate and its monohydrate are prepared by the same basic procedure. Lithium sulfate monohydrate is isolated by evaporation of a solution of lithium sulfate made by the reaction of sulfuric acid with either lithium hydroxide or lithium carbonate. The lithium sulfate monohydrate may be converted to anhydrous lithium sulfate by drying at slightly over 100°C.

Flammability and Explosibility

Non flammable

Purification Methods

Crystallise it from H2O (4mL/g) by partial evaporation, and dry it above 130o in vacuo.
