IUPAC Name
Lithium;bromide
Synonyms
Hydrobromic acid lithium salt
Application
Lithium bromide serves primarily as a highly effective desiccant in air conditioning systems due to its extreme hygroscopic nature. Its remarkable solubility in water allows it to act as an efficient absorbent in large-scale absorption chilling equipment, where it helps regulate humidity and cooling. Furthermore, lithium bromide is utilized in the pharmaceutical industry for specific organic synthesis applications, such as dehydrobromination processes that create olefins. The compound, which forms white cubic crystals, also has limited medicinal uses and can be produced by reacting lithium carbonate with hydrobromic acid.

Product Information
Description
Lithium Bromide is a highly hygroscopic Lithium compound useful as a dessicant or liquid sorbent. Most metal bromide compounds are water soluble for uses in water treatment, chemical analysis and in ultra high purity for certain crystal growth applications. The bromide ion in an aqueous solution can be detected by adding carbon disulfide (CS2) and chlorine.
