Lithium bromide
Lithium bromide (CAS: 7550-35-8), with the molecular formula LiBr and a molecular weight of 86.85 g/mol, is an inorganic salt supplied by Tech Serve Solutions. Available in an anhydrous beaded form, it is primarily recognised for its use as a desiccant and in absorption refrigeration systems. Its hygroscopic nature and chemical properties make it a valuable reagent in various industrial and research applications.
Absorption Refrigeration
Lithium bromide solutions are widely employed in large-scale industrial air conditioning and refrigeration systems. They act as a working fluid, effectively absorbing water vapour to facilitate the cooling cycle.
Desiccant
Due to its strong hygroscopic properties, lithium bromide is an effective desiccant for drying air and other gases. It readily absorbs moisture from the atmosphere, making it useful in humidity control applications.
Chemical Synthesis
As a source of bromide ions and a lithium salt, it serves as a reagent in various organic and inorganic synthesis reactions. It is used in the preparation of other lithium compounds and in bromination processes.
Materials Science
Lithium bromide finds applications in materials science research, particularly in the development of new materials and in studies related to solid-state electrolytes and ionic conductivity.
