Uses

Primary

  • Pharm: WHO LEM for bipolar disorder

Natural occurrence

  • Does occur naturally as the rare mineral zabuyelite.

Hazards

Production

Extraction

Synthesis

  1. Combine lithium with water yielding lithium hydroxide
    2 Li + 2 H2O → 2 LiOH + H2
  2. Expose lithium hydroxide to air (carbon dioxide) producing lithium carbonate
    2 LiOH + 2 CO2 → Li2CO3 + H2O

Testing

Purification

Storage

Disposal
