In today’s technology world, batteries have become an essential part of our daily lives, from mobile phones and laptops to electric vehicles and renewable energy storage systems. In these batteries, a special chemical, lithium carbonate, plays a crucial role. This article will give you a detailed introduction to the basic knowledge of battery grade lithium carbonate. 1. Basic properties of lithium carbonate Lithium carbonate is a colorless crystal or white particle with the formula Li2CO3 and a molecular weight of 73.89. It is a weakly alkaline substance with good stability to heat and light, but it is easy to decompose in an acidic environment. Lithium carbonate has a low solubility in water, but a high solubility in organic solvents. 2. Preparation of battery grade lithium carbonate There are two main methods to prepare battery grade lithium carbonate: limestone method and sulfuric acid method. The limestone process is to decompose limestone…
