Lithium bromide is a high-efficiency water vapor absorbent and air humidity regulator.
The refrigeration industry is widely used as absorption refrigerant, and the organic industry is used as hydrogen chloride deaging agent and organic fiber expander.
Lithium bromide is used medicinally as a hypnotic and sedative.
The battery industry is used as an electrolyte for high-energy batteries and miniature batteries.
In addition, Lithium bromide is also used in the photographic industry and analytical chemistry.
Lithium bromide can also be used as a pharmaceutical intermediate.
1. Refrigeration and Air Conditioning: It is commonly used in absorption chillers, where it acts as a refrigerant. Its ability to absorb water vapor makes it very effective in cooling systems.
2. Desiccant: Due to its hygroscopic properties, lithium bromide is used as a desiccant to remove moisture from the air in a variety of applications, including industrial processes and packaging.
3. Medicine: Lithium bromide has been used in the past as a sedative and to treat certain mental health conditions, although it is less common now than other lithium compounds.
4. Chemical synthesis: As a reagent for various chemical reactions, it can also be used in the synthesis of other lithium compounds.
5. Analytical Chemistry: Lithium bromide can be used in certain analytical techniques, such as for the preparation of samples for spectroscopic analysis.
6. Electrolyte in Batteries: It is sometimes used as part of the electrolyte solution in lithium-ion batteries.
