Useful:

• Uses: Commercial lithium hypochlorite [13840-33-0], LiOCl, is a solid with ~35% available chlorine. It is made from concentrated solutions of sodium hypochlorite and lithium chloride. It consists of 30% lithium hypochlorite and various other salts. Lithium hypochlorite is used in I & I laundry detergents and I & I dry laundry bleaches. Like sodium hypochlorite, it does not precipitate soaps and other anionic detergents. However, lithium hypochlorite is an expensive source of available chlorine and not much is used for bleaching. Its principal use is as a shocking agent for swimming pool disinfection. Lithium hypochlorite is an algicide, disinfectant, fungicide and food contact surface sanitizer. Its primary pesticidal use is to control algae, bacteria and mildew in swimming pool water systems, hot tubs and spas; approximately 2,000,000 pounds of the active ingredient were used for this purpose in 1989. It also is used to sanitize food and cheese processing plant equipment, dairies, and eating establishment equipment and utensils. Lithium hypochlorite is formulated as a ready-to-use liquid and a soluble solid concentrate. It is applied to swimming pool water using a skimmer basket, and to equipment or utensils by hand or through use of a dish washing machine. Lithium is an element that occurs naturally at low levels in food and drinking water.

Technology Process of LITHIUM HYPOCHLORITE

There total 16 articles about LITHIUM HYPOCHLORITE which guide to synthetic route it. The literature collected by LookChem mainly comes from the sharing of users and the free literature resources found by Internet computing technology. We keep the original model of the professional version of literature to make it easier and faster for users to retrieve and use. At the same time, we analyze and calculate the most feasible synthesis route with the highest yield for your reference as below:

synthetic route:

Reference yield:

lithium oxide → lithium hypochlorite (13840-33-0) + lithium chlorate (13453-71-9) + lithium chloride

Guidance literature:

With chlorine; In neat (no solvent); slowly reaction of Cl2 with Li2O, formation of LiCl and LiOCl with forms with Cl2 LiClO3;;

Reference yield:

hypochlorous anhydride (7791-21-1) + lithium hydroxide (1310-65-2) → lithium hypochlorite (13840-33-0) + lithium chlorate (13453-71-9) + lithium chloride

Guidance literature:

In not given; treating LiOH with Cl2O;; drying the product over H2SO4 for some days;;

Reference yield:

hypochlorous anhydride (7791-21-1) + lithium chloride * x water → lithium hypochlorite (13840-33-0) + lithium hydroxide (1310-65-2)
