| Application: | Lithium carbonate is an inorganic compound and serves as the precursor for the synthesis of several lithium compounds including Li-ion battery materials. It is also used in the glass and ceramic industry. |
| Application: | Lithium carbonate is used • In the synthesis of monoclinic phase lithium zirconate by heating with a mixture of zirconia and potassium carbonate at high temperature. • As a lithium precursor to synthesize solid-base catalyst [Li4SiO4] by simple solid-state reaction with rice husks. Li4SiO4 is used for biodiesel production. • In the synthesis of high-purity lithium hydroxide monohydrate by membrane electrolysis process using lithium sulfate as electrolyte. |
| General description: | We are committed to bringing you Greener Alternative Products, which belong to one of the four categories of greener alternatives. LITHIUM CARBONATE is essential for sustainable energy solutions, particularly in lithium-ion batteries.
