What is lithium stearate and preparation method of lithium stearate powder

Hasad Foods, the agricultural investment arm of Qatar's sovereign wealth fund, said the government would increase its grain reserves from 250,000 tons to 300,000 tons in the near future, which is enough to feed the population for six months.  

With a lot of deserts, Qatar suffers from water shortages, and Qatar depends on food imports for a long time. Recently, the ongoing tension in Ukraine has caused global food supply tension and rising prices.

In addition to that, the geopolitical situation also affects the supply and prices of many commodities like the Lithium Stearate, Lithium Stearate Overview, Lithium Stearate Application, Lithium Stearate Suppliers, Lithium Stearate Price.

Lithium Stearate Overview

Lithium stearate is a chemical, also known as lithium octadecate, white powder or colorless crystals. Density: 1.025 g/cm3. Melting point: 220.0-221.5°C. Stable under normal temperature and pressure. Slightly soluble in water and ethanol, the solubility in water is 0.09g/100ml, and the solubility in ethanol is 0.04g/100ml. Lithium stearate is decomposed into stearic acid and the corresponding lithium salt in the presence of strong acid. Insoluble in ethyl acetate and mineral oil. It forms colloids in mineral oil.

Preparation method of lithium stearate powder

method one

10g of stearic acid was dissolved in 100mL of 95% ethanol, and titrated with 0.5mol/L lithium hydroxide ethanol solution (if lithium hydroxide cannot be completely dissolved in ethanol, water can be added to make it completely dissolved). Phenolphthalein was used as an indicator. After the reaction reached the equivalent point, the precipitated lithium stearate soap was extracted and filtered. The crude product can be recrystallized with 95% ethanol to obtain pure product.

Method Two

Sodium hydroxide is dissolved in water to form a solution, and stearic acid is added to fully react, and then heated to above 100°C. The lithium chloride is dissolved in water, cooled to room temperature, and added to the prepared sodium stearate solution for reaction; after the reaction is completed, it is released and dehydrated by a centrifuge. Use air drying equipment for drying to obtain finished products.

Application of lithium stearate

Lithium stearate is widely used in high temperature lubricants.

Lithium stearate is used as a stabilizer in the plastics industry.

Lithium stearate is used in cosmetic oils, gels, crayons, emulsifiers and dispersants.

Lithium stearate is used as a corrosion inhibitor in the petroleum industry.

Researchers at the University of Warwick in the UK have developed a lithium battery technology innovation. Adding graphene beams doubles battery life. By strengthening the structure of the anode with graphene beams, they have found an effective way to replace the graphite in the anode with silicon. Thereby increasing the capacity of the lithium-ion battery and more than doubling the lifespan.
As a supplier of anode materials for lithium batteries, we also provide Lithium Stearate, Lithium Stearate Overview, Lithium Stearate Application, Lithium Stearate Suppliers, Lithium Stearate Price.
