Name: Lithium methodology
CAS RN: 865-34-9
Molecular formula: CH3LiO
Molecular weight: 37.97
Physical properties: White powder, which is not easy to store. Generally, the product is a
colorless and transparent solution of methanol containing less than 10%. It is volatile,
flammable, and easily absorbs water from the air to decompose and produce lithium
hydroxide, making the solution turbid and toxic. It should be stored in a closed container. React violently when exposed to water.
Packaging specifications: 20kg, 10kg/cardboard drum (solid)
Storage: Stable at room temperature and pressure, avoiding contact with oxidants and moisture.
Usage: Mainly used as a condensation agent and strong base catalyst for organic synthesis reactions, as well as a methoxylation
agent for the production of vitamins and sulfamethoxazole drugs. A small amount is used for pesticide production. It can also be
used as a catalyst for edible fatty oils.
