Lithium carbonate, an inorganic compound with the formula Li2CO3, is a colorless monoclinic crystal or white powder. Density 2.11g/cm3. Melting point 723℃(1.013*10^5Pa). Soluble in dilute acid. Slightly soluble in water, the solubility in cold water is larger than that in hot water. Insoluble in alcohol and acetone. Can be used to make ceramics, drugs, catalysts and so on. Commonly used lithium ion battery raw materials.
Lithium carbonate is the raw material for the preparation of various lithium compounds, and it is the most productive and widely used product in lithium salt products. According to different purity, lithium carbonate can be divided into industrial grade lithium carbonate, battery grade lithium carbonate, medical grade lithium carbonate and high purity grade lithium carbonate. Battery grade lithium carbonate is mainly used to synthesize lithium cobalt, lithium manganate, lithium nickel, lithium, etc., is an indispensable raw material for the lithium battery industry.
