The hydrated form, lithium nitrate trihydrate, has an extremely high specific heat of fusion, 287 ± 7 J/g, [3] and hence can be used for thermal energy storage at its melt temperature of 303.3 K. [4] Lithium nitrate has been proposed as a medium to store heat collected from the sun for cooking.
Ammonium nitrate decomposition (as monopropellant) 1.4: 2.5: Thermal Energy Capacity of Molten Salt: 1 [citation needed] 98% [18] Molecular spring approximate [citation needed] 1: battery, Lithium–Manganese [19] [20] 0.83-1.01: 1.98-2.09: battery, Sodium–Sulfur: 0.72 [21] 1.23 [citation needed] 85% [22] battery, Lithium-ion [23] [24] 0.46-0 ...
Molten salts (fluoride, chloride, and nitrate) can be used as heat transfer fluids as well as for thermal storage. This thermal storage is used in concentrated solar power plants. [8] [9] Molten-salt reactors are a type of nuclear reactor that uses molten salt(s) as a coolant or as a solvent in which the fissile material is dissolved ...
Lithium nitrite is the lithium salt of nitrous acid, with formula LiNO 2. This compound is hygroscopic and very soluble in water. It is used as a corrosion inhibitor in mortar. [4] It is also used in the production of explosives, due to its ability to nitrosate ketones under certain conditions. [5]
The electrochemical synthesis of ammonia involves the reductive formation of lithium nitride, which can be protonated to ammonia, given a proton source. The first use of this chemistry was reported in 1930, where lithium solutions in ethanol were used to produce ammonia at pressures of up to 1000 bar, with ethanol acting as the proton source. [152]
The following chart shows the solubility of various ionic compounds in water at 1 atm pressure and room temperature (approx. 25 °C, 298.15 K). "Soluble" means the ionic compound doesn't precipitate, while "slightly soluble" and "insoluble" mean that a solid will precipitate; "slightly soluble" compounds like calcium sulfate may require heat to precipitate.
The nitrate ion. Alkali metal nitrates are chemical compounds consisting of an alkali metal (lithium, sodium, potassium, rubidium and caesium) and the nitrate ion. Only two are of major commercial value, the sodium and potassium salts. [1] They are white, water-soluble salts with melting points ranging from 255 °C (LiNO 3) to 414 °C (CsNO
The third most common use of lithium is in greases. Lithium hydroxide is a strong base, and when heated with a fat, it produces a soap, such as lithium stearate from stearic acid. Lithium soap has the ability to thicken oils, and it is used to manufacture all-purpose, high-temperature lubricating greases. [21] [162] [163]
