Character is white cube Crystal system Crystalline or granular powder. Density 3.464g/cm three , melting point 442-547 º C, boiling point 1265 º C. [2] Easily soluble in water, with a solubility of 254g/100ml water (90 ℃); Soluble in ethanol and ether; Slightly soluble in pyridine Soluble in methanol acetone glycol Isoorganic solvent [3] It has strong water absorption and is very soluble in water, and can form a series of hydrates: LiBr · H two O、LiBr·2H two O、LiBr·3H two O。 It is dihydrate at normal temperature, which is white crystal. It loses 1 molecular crystal water at 44 ℃, and becomes anhydrous when it is higher than 160 ℃. Its aqueous solution is neutral or slightly alkaline. It is extremely corrosive to general metals. The main measures to prevent corrosion are first to maintain a high vacuum to isolate oxygen, and then to add Corrosion inhibitor And keep the solution temperature below 120 ℃. Hot concentrated solution can dissolve cellulose Strengthen the heat in the air, significantly decompose, release bromine and generate a small amount of lithium carbonate and lithium oxide, which are alkaline. It can strongly corrode glass, porcelain and platinum when melting. LiBr · nNH is generated by reacting with gaseous ammonia three [3]

Stable in nature, not easy to deteriorate and decompose in the atmosphere. Can form a series of Additive compound , such as monoammonium lithium bromide, diammonium lithium bromide, triammonium lithium bromide, and tetraammonium lithium bromide. This product can also be used with Buli It forms a stable complex, which is very stable in ether, so it is often used Bromobutane Synthesis of butyl lithium. At the same time, lithium bromide is also associated with Cupric bromide , high mercury bromide, high mercury iodide High mercury cyanide Strontium bromide It can form soluble salt. Lithium bromide has a strong effect on steel in the air Corrosion However, corrosion inhibitor is added in vacuum state, which basically does not corrode metal. [4]

Large dose of lithium bromide will inhibit central nervous system Long term inhalation may cause skin rash and central nervous system disorder. [5]

synthetic method

1. Neutralization method
Lithium hydroxide And Hydrobromic acid conduct Neutralization reaction The reaction solution is decolorized, filtered, concentrated, filtered, concentrated, crystallized, and separated to produce lithium bromide granular powder. The reaction equation is as follows: [2]
LiOH + HBr = LiBr + H two O [2]
2. Ferric bromide process
Iron filings are reacted with bromine to form iron bromide, and lithium bromide is prepared by the reaction of lithium carbonate and iron bromide. This process is complicated and easy to cause loss of lithium bromide and reduce the yield. [2]
3. Dissolve pure lithium carbonate in hydrobromic acid solution, evaporate to dryness, and remove CO two And water to obtain lithium bromide. [2]
If special pure lithium bromide is to be prepared crystal Remove most impurities several times. The specific operation is as follows: hydrobromic acid is added to LiBr solution to precipitate lithium bromide. Inject nitrogen and heat the above solution and precipitate To remove excess acid The precipitate is filtered out under nitrogen atmosphere. Recrystallization is carried out by using lithium bromide with large difference in solubility in water at different temperatures and repeated for 4-5 times. Finally, in a platinum container, nitrogen Keep at 160 ℃ for more than 7 days in the atmosphere, and seal such refined lithium bromide in glass tube for storage. [2]
4. First, prepare lithium carbonate into a 55% - 60% solution, then slowly add 45% hydrobromic acid with a slight excess under heating and constant stirring for reaction: [2]
Li two CO three + 2HBr = 2LiBr + CO two + H two O [2]
After the reaction, filter out the insoluble matter, heat and concentrate the filtrate until a small amount of crystallization occurs, stop heating, cool and crystallize, after crystallization is complete, separate the mother liquor, dry and dehydrate to obtain the finished product. Mother liquor can be re concentrated and crystallized. [2]

Properties of aqueous solution

edit
1. Colorless liquid, bitter, non-toxic, odorless, added Lithium chromate It turns pale yellow. [6]
2. Lithium bromide in water solubility It decreases with the decrease of temperature. [6]
3、 steam The partial pressure is very small. It is better than that of water at room temperature Saturated vapor pressure It is much smaller, has strong hygroscopicity, and Lithium bromide aqueous solution It has the ability to absorb water vapor whose temperature is much lower than that of lithium bromide Absorption refrigerator One of the mechanisms. [6]
4. The specific heat capacity is small. This means that the heat added to the solution during the occurrence is relatively small, and in addition, the evaporation latent heat of water is relatively large, which will make the unit have a higher thermal coefficient. [6]
5. The density is larger than water, the viscosity is larger, and the surface tension is larger. [6]
6. For ferrous metals and Red copper And other materials have strong corrosion It is more serious in the presence of air and is caused by corrosion Non condensable gas For devices Cooling capacity Great impact. [6]
