Description and Uses
Lithium nitrate is a colorless deliquescentpowder. Specific gravity (H2O:1)=2.38; Freezing/Meltingpoint = 264℃. Hazard Identification (based on NFPA-704M Rating System): Health 2, Flammability 1, Reactivity 2(Oxidizer). Soluble in water.
Lithium nitrate is used in ceramics, pyrotechnics, salt baths, heat-exchange media, refrigeration systems, rocket propellant and in solar batteries. It acts as an oxidizing agent used in the production of red-colored fireworks and flares, as a catalyst to accelerate the breakdown of nitrogen oxides and as a medium to store heat received from sun for cooking. It is applied to concrete-pavement to withstand weathering effects.
