Lithium Bromide manufacturers Lithium bromide (LiBr) is a chemical compound composed of lithium and bromine. It is a white, hygroscopic, crystalline powder that is soluble in water and alcohol. Lithium bromide has several important applications, including: Air conditioning: LiBr is used as an absorbent in absorption refrigeration systems, which are used for air conditioning and industrial cooling. Desalination: LiBr is used in multi-effect distillation plants to remove salt from seawater. Organic synthesis: LiBr is used as a catalyst in organic chemical reactions. Battery electrolyte: LiBr has been studied as a potential electrolyte in lithium-ion batteries due to its high thermal stability and low volatility. LiBr is a toxic and highly reactive substance and should be handled with care. It is also a hazardous material and should be stored and transported in accordance with relevant regulations.
