Lithium Chloride (LiCl) is a chemical compound that can be made by igniting lithium and chlorine. It is a difficult process because the reaction can be violent and needs to be performed in controlled environment. The chemical can also be extracted from other alkali metal chlorides with amyl alcohol. The chemical is available in both hydrous (with water) and anhydrous (without water) forms. The highly versatile material has a plethora of applications including: What are the Uses of Lithium Chloride? [4 Key Applications] 1. Lithium Production 2. Desiccant 3. Pyrotechnics 4. Other Applications 1. Lithium Production Lithium chloride is the compound used to produce lithium metal by electrolysis. Lithium metal is produced by electrolysis of a molten mixture of lithium and potassium chlorides. The lower melting point of the mixture (400-420° C or 750-790° F) compared to that of pure lithium chloride (610° C or 1130° F) allows the lower temperature o
