Lithium fluoride with the CAS number 7789 - 24 - 4 is a chemical compound with the formula LiF. It is a white crystalline solid that is sparingly soluble in water. The molar mass of lithium fluoride is approximately 25.94 g/mol. This product is supplied directly from the factory at a low price, ensuring high - quality and cost - effective raw materials for various industries. The purity of our lithium fluoride can usually reach up to 99% or higher, which is suitable for a wide range of applications. It has a density of about 2.64 g/cm³ and a melting point of 848 °C, and a boiling point of 1676 °C. Its crystal structure belongs to the cubic system. These physical and chemical properties make it a unique and valuable chemical in many fields.
Lithium fluoride has a wide range of applications. In the field of optics, it is often used as a material for optical windows and lenses. Due to its excellent transparency in the ultraviolet region, it is an ideal choice for ultraviolet optical systems. In addition, it can also be used in the manufacturing of infrared optical components because of its relatively good infrared transmittance. In the nuclear industry, lithium fluoride is used as a primary ingredient in molten salt reactors. The molten salt mixture containing lithium fluoride can serve as both a coolant and a nuclear fuel solvent. In the field of metallurgy, it can be used as a flux in the aluminum smelting process to reduce the melting point of the electrolyte and improve the current efficiency. Moreover, it is also used in the production of high - performance ceramics and glass to improve their thermal stability and mechanical properties.
When using lithium fluoride, it is necessary to follow strict safety procedures. First, it should be stored in a dry and cool place, away from moisture and strong acids. In the handling process, appropriate personal protective equipment, such as gloves and goggles, should be worn to avoid direct contact with the skin and eyes. When using it in a chemical reaction, it is necessary to accurately measure the dosage according to the experimental or industrial process requirements. For example, in the optical manufacturing process, lithium fluoride needs to be precisely processed into the required shape and size through grinding and polishing techniques. In the nuclear industry, strict quality control and safety management are required to ensure the normal operation of the reactor.
Case 1: Optical Industry
A well - known optical instrument manufacturer used our lithium fluoride to produce ultraviolet lenses. After strict quality control and processing, the lenses produced showed excellent ultraviolet transmittance and low absorption coefficient. This not only improved the performance of their optical instruments but also reduced the production cost. The company reported an increase in product sales by 20% after using our low - cost and high - quality lithium fluoride.
Case 2: Nuclear Industry
A nuclear energy research institution used lithium fluoride in a molten salt reactor experiment. The use of lithium fluoride as a coolant and fuel solvent effectively improved the heat transfer efficiency and nuclear reaction stability of the reactor. The experimental results showed that the reactor could operate stably for a long time, which laid a good foundation for the future large - scale application of molten salt reactors.
