Description and Uses

Lithium perchlorate,is an oxysalt that is a colorless, deliquescent crystal. Oxysalt “per-ate” compounds are loaded with excess oxygen and will readily give it up in a reaction. Lithium perchlorate is a powerful oxidizing agent. It has more available oxygen than does liquid oxygen on a volume basis. Lithium perchlorate has a specific gravity of 2.429, which is heavier than water, and is water soluble. It is a dangerous fire and explosion risk in contact with organic materials and is an irritant to skin and mucous membranes. The primary use of lithium perchlorate is as a solid rocket propellant. Chlorates are strong oxidizing agents. When heated, they give up oxygen readily. Contact with organic or other combustible materials may cause spontaneous combustion or explosion. They are incompatible with ammonium salts, acids, metal powders, sulfur, and finely divided organic or combustible substances.

Used as an oxidizing agent.
