ТАРТРАТ ЛИТИЯ

Description

Lithium tartrate is the dilithium salt of tartaric (2,3-dihydroxybutanedioic) acid, C4H4Li2O6. Class: lithium salts and organic hydroxy acids. The tartrate anion contains two carboxyl and two hydroxyl groups, so the salt is well compatible with aqueous media and is capable of binding metal cations into chelate complexes. The supplier does not provide a dump of physical constants - what is confirmed by the card is listed below.

• research work on lithium electrochemistry and materials science
• raw materials for the production of other lithium compounds through thermal decomposition of the organic part

A note on the data

The supplier's card is limited to mass characteristics and registration numbers: melting point, density, solubility and GHS classification are not included in it. Values ​​for these points should be requested from the manufacturer along with the batch passport, and not transferred by analogy with other salts of tartaric acid.

Storage and handling

Salts of organic acids with lithium are hygroscopic and prone to caking, so the container is kept tightly closed in a dry room. Work according to the general rules for handling chemical powders: gloves, glasses, no dust when hanging.
