    Product Description

    Lithium Carbonate CAS 554-13-2 is an inorganic lithium salt with the molecular formula Li2CO3 and EINECS 209-062-5.

    Synonyms: Dilithium carbonate; Carbonic acid dilithium salt; Lithium(I) carbonate; Lithium monocarbonate.

    CAS: 554-13-2.

    Molecular formula: Li2CO3.

    It is supplied as a white crystalline powder with an assay (Li2CO3) of not less than 99.5%.

    Sodium (Na) is not more than 0.025%, calcium (Ca) not more than 0.005%, and iron (Fe) not more than 0.001%.

    Chloride (Cl) is not more than 0.003%, moisture not more than 0.4%, and melting point about 723 °C.

    In energy storage it is the primary precursor for cathode active materials such as LCO, NMC, and LFP.

    In glass and ceramics it is a fluxing agent in ovenware, enamels, and specialty glass, lowering viscosity and improving durability and thermal-shock resistance.

    In aluminum smelting it is added to the cryolite bath to lower melting temperature and increase electrolyte conductivity.

    In construction chemicals it is a set-accelerating additive in specialized cementitious materials and fast-setting tile adhesives.

    Store in a strictly dry, well-ventilated area with all packaging, especially PE liners, tightly sealed to prevent moisture uptake and agglomeration.

    Isolate from strong acids and reactive metals, and avoid generating airborne dust during transfer, weighing, and mixing.

    Use chemical-resistant gloves, tight-fitting safety goggles, and an N95-or-higher particulate respirator when handling bulk powder.

    Every batch is evaluated by ICP-OES to quantify trace magnetic impurities (Fe, Ni) and alkali-metal cross-contamination (Na, K).

    Laser diffraction maps particle-size distribution (D50/D90) for uniform calcination in downstream cathode manufacturing.

    Confirm appearance, assay, sodium, calcium, iron, chloride, moisture, melting point, and grade as required.

    FAQ - Technical & Supply Chain

    • Q:

      What is Lithium Carbonate CAS 554-13-2?

      A: CAS 554-13-2 is lithium carbonate, an inorganic lithium salt with the molecular formula Li2CO3. It is a white crystalline powder and is a key industrial source of lithium for battery and specialty-material production.
    • Q:

      What is the difference between industrial grade and battery grade lithium carbonate?

      A: Both grades are based on lithium carbonate, but battery grade is controlled for higher purity and lower levels of impurities such as sodium, calcium, iron, chloride, and magnetic metals. Industrial grade is suitable for ceramics, glass, and aluminum smelting, while battery grade is preferred for cathode precursor production.
    • Q:

      What are the main applications of Lithium Carbonate CAS 554-13-2?

      A: It is primarily used as a precursor for lithium-ion battery cathode materials, including LFP, NMC, and LCO. It also functions as a flux in specialty glass and ceramics, an electrolyte additive in aluminum smelting, and a set accelerator in some cementitious formulations.
    • Q:

      What are the typical specifications for lithium carbonate powder?

      A: A common export specification is at least 99.5% Li2CO3, with controlled sodium, calcium, iron, chloride, and moisture. The material is a white crystalline powder with a melting point near 723 degrees C and is slightly hygroscopic.
    • Q:

      How should lithium carbonate be stored?

      A: Keep it in a dry, well-ventilated area and close containers tightly because it is slightly hygroscopic. Avoid contact with moisture and incompatible materials, and follow standard chemical handling and dust-control practices.
