Global Industry Analysis and Forecast 2016 - 2022”.
The developing in the glass, optics and electronic and electrical industries has initiated a high
demand for Lithium and related compounds. Lithium and lithium based compounds are one the
key substances that have dynamic usage, either as a feedstock or as product. One of the most
commercially important compound is Lithium fluoride. Lithium fluoride is an odorless, crystalline
lithium salt manufactured by the reaction of lithium hydroxide with hydrogen fluoride.
Alternatively it is also manufactured by dissolving lithium carbonate in excess hydrogen fluoride
and dehydrating it by heating until redness appears. Lithium fluoride is highly stable and has a
low melting point which is why it is used an ingredient in molten salt chemistries and liquid
fluoride nuclear reactor. Owing to its stable ionic structure lithium fluoride find extensive usage
as a heat sink material and fluxing agent in ceramics, enamel and glass industry .It is also used
for welding, soldering and dip brazing fluxes. However the handling and the reactivity of Lithium
fluoride has to be kept in consideration due to the development of toxic hydrogen fluoride gas,
when lithium fluoride comes in contact with mineral acids.
The lithium fluoride market is driven by the extensive demand from glass industry and demand
for nuclear power generation. The lithium fluoride market is thus anticipated to exhibit double
digit growth owing to the increase in nuclear energy based applications for the electricity
generation. With significant development in the...
