| Hazard Information | Back Directory | [General Description]
A white to light yellow colored crystalline solid. Denser than water. Contact with the material may cause irritation to skin, eyes, and mucous membranes. May be toxic by ingestion. May cause the acceleration of the burning of combustible materials. Prolonged exposure to heat or flames may result in an explosion. | [Reactivity Profile]
LITHIUM NITRATE(7790-69-4) is an oxidizing agent. Mixtures with alkyl esters may explode owing to the formation of alkyl nitrates; mixtures with phosphorus, tin(II) chloride, or other reducing agents may react explosively [Bretherick 1979. p. 108-109]. | [Air & Water Reactions]
Deliquescent. Soluble in water. | [Health Hazard]
Inhalation, ingestion or contact (skin, eyes) with vapors or substance may cause severe injury, burns or death. Fire may produce irritating, corrosive and/or toxic gases. Runoff from fire control or dilution water may cause pollution. | [Potential Exposure]
Lithium nitrate is used in ceramics,
pyrotechnics, salt baths; refrigeration systems; and rocket
propellants | [Fire Hazard]
These substances will accelerate burning when involved in a fire. Some may decompose explosively when heated or involved in a fire. May explode from heat or contamination. Some will react explosively with hydrocarbons (fuels). May ignite combustibles (wood, paper, oil, clothing, etc.). Containers may explode when heated. Runoff may create fire or explosion hazard. | [First aid]
If this chemical gets into the eyes, remove any
contact lenses at once and irrigate immediately for at least
15 minutes, occasionally lifting upper and lower lids. Seek
medical attention immediately. If this chemical contacts
the skin, remove contaminated clothing and wash immediately with soap and water. Seek medical attention immediately. If this chemical has been inhaled, remove from
exposure, begin rescue breathing (using universal precautions, including resuscitation mask) if breathing has
stopped and CPR if heart action has stopped. Transfer
promptly to a medical facility. When this chemical has
been swallowed, get medical attention. Give large quantities of water and induce vomiting. Do not make an unconscious person vomit.

UN2722 Lithium nitrate, Hazard Class: 5.1;
Labels: 5.1-Oxidizer | [Incompatibilities]
May explode when exposed to sparks,
shock and heat. Violent reactions with combustible materials;
oxidizers, organic materials; reducing agents; strong acids | [Description]
Lithium nitrate is a colorless deliquescentpowder. Specific gravity (H2O:1)=2.38; Freezing/Meltingpoint = 264℃. Hazard Identification (based on NFPA-704M Rating System): Health 2, Flammability 1, Reactivity 2(Oxidizer). Soluble in water. | [Uses]
Lithium nitrate can be used in special pyrotechnic devices to give a red flame. Lithium nitrate may also be used in combination with other salts, particularly nitrates, to produce low-melting fused salt mixtures.
Used in ceramics, heat-exchange media, refrigeration systems.
| [Uses]
Lithium nitrate is used in ceramics, pyrotechnics, salt baths, heat-exchange media, refrigeration systems, rocket propellant and in solar batteries. It acts as an oxidizing agent used in the production of red-colored fireworks and flares, as a catalyst to accelerate the breakdown of nitrogen oxides and as a medium to store heat received from sun for cooking. It is applied to concrete-pavement to withstand weathering effects. | [Definition]

Color Code—Yellow: Reactive Hazard; Store in alocation separate from other materials, especially flammables and combustibles. Prior to working with this chemical you should be trained on its proper handling andstorage. Lithium nitrate must be stored to avoid contactwith wood, paper, oil and heat, and oxidizers (such as perchlorates, peroxides, permanganates, chlorates, andnitrates), since violent reactions occur. Protect containersagainst physical damage, heat, shock, sparks. Store intightly closed containers in a cool, well-ventilated area.Sources of ignition, such as smoking and open flames, areprohibited where this chemical is used, handled, or stored ina manner that could create a potential fire or explosion hazard. Wherever this chemical is used, handled, manufactured,or stored, use explosion-proof electrical equipment and fittings. See OSHA Standard 1910.104 and NFPA 43A Codefor the Storage of Liquid and Solid Oxidizers for detailedhandling and storage regulations. | [Purification Methods]
It crystallises from water or EtOH. Dry it at 180o for several days by repeated melting under vacuum. If it is crystallised from water keeping the temperature above 70o, formation of trihydrate is avoided. The anhydrous salt is dried at 120o and stored in a vacuum desiccator over CaSO4. After the 99% pure salt was recrystallised 3times, it contained: metal (ppm) Ca (1.6), K (1.1), Mo (0.4), Na (2.2). [Donnan & Burt J Chem Soc 83 335 1903.] |
| Questions And Answer | Back Directory | [Chemical properties]
Lithium Nitrate is an inorganic compound with the formula LiNO3 with highly water solubility. All metallic nitrates are inorganic salts of a given metal cation and the nitrate anion. The nitrate anion is a univalent (-1 charge) polyatomic ion composed of a single nitrogen atom ionically bound to three oxygen atoms for a total formula weight of 62.05. Nitrate compounds are generally soluble in water.
Lithium Nitrate is white trigonal crystal. It is soluble in water, ethanol, pyridine and ammonia. The aqueous solution is neutral.

- Lithium nitrate can be toxic to the body when ingested by targeting the central nervous system, thyroids, kidneys, and cardio-vascular system. When exposed to the skin, eyes, and mucous membranes, lithium nitrate can cause irritation to these areas.
- It releases toxic and irritating nitrogen oxides when it burns. It decomposes at high temperatures, producing toxic nitroxides. When people inhale these, they will be poisoned. Others refer to sodium nitrate.
| [Application]
- Used as liquid ammonia stabilizer in refrigeration equipment, rocket propellant, oxidants of pyrotechnic manufacture, glass etchants, antistatic agents, composition of molten salt in metallurgical industry.
- Used as an analytical reagent; dissolving and cooling agent; heat exchange carrier; catalyst for the paint; raw materials of other nickel salt; mordant of reducing dye.
- Used for the manufacture of a phosphor, other lithium salt, nickel batteries and for ceramics and metal coloring.
- Used in the electroplating industry; organic synthesis and production of hardening oil.
- Lithium Nitrate has been proposed as a medium to store heat collected from the sun for cooking.
- Lithium nitrate is also a very good oxidizing agent in the manufacture of red-colored fireworks and flares.
- Currently, lithium nitrate is being tested to see if it can be applied to concrete-pavement to withstand weathering effects.
| [Preparation]
Lithium hydroxide or lithium carbonate is added to the reactor containing distilled water, and nitric acid is slowly added under stirring and heating to carry out the reaction. Then we evaporate it to dryness and heat it under vacuum at about 200 ° C, finally we get lithium nitrate. HNO3+LiOH→LiNO3+H2O | [Explosive characteristics]
May cause the acceleration of the burning of combustible materials. Prolonged exposure to heat or flames may result in an explosion. | [References]
