Lithium hydroxide, 55% min LiOH
Industrial Grade - 55% min
Lithium hydroxide is an inorganic salt with the formula LiOH. It occurs as a white crystalline solid that is highly soluble in water and is a highly corrosive compound. Lithium hydroxide is used primarily in the production of lithium-ion batteries, as well as in the manufacture of high-temperature lubricants and greases.
The SQM Lithium company in Chile produces lithium hydroxide with a minimum purity of 55%. The production of high purity lithium hydroxide is carried out through the processing of brine extracted from the Salar de Atacama at its production plant in Antofagasta, Chile.
The production process begins with the purification of the brine through a chemical precipitation process. Then, crystallization and separation of lithium hydroxide from the rest of the brine components is carried out. Finally, the lithium hydroxide is dried and packaged for subsequent sale and distribution to the clients of the SQM Lithium company.
