Top 5 Applications of Lithium Carbonate

Lithium carbonate is an inorganic compound with the formula Li 2 CO 3 . The salt exists only in the anhydrous form and its solubility in water is low relative to other lithium salts. The compound is produced by combining lithium peroxide with carbon dioxide. This reaction is also used in certain air purifiers to absorb carbon dioxide: 2 Li 2 O 2 + 2 CO 2 → 2 Li 2 CO 3 + O 2 . Here are a few applications of lithium carbonate: 1.        Medicinal Uses Lithium carbonate is used to treat a manic depressive disorder (bipolar disorder). It works to stabilize the mood and reduce extremes in behavior. This is done by restoring the balance of neurotransmitters in the brain. This medication can decrease how often manic episodes occur and decrease the symptoms of manic episodes. 2.        Glass and Ceramics Lithium carbonate is used in the preparation of lithium aluminosilicate glass-ceramics.

5 Best Tips on How to Use Oxygen Absorbers in the Right Way

One of the main issues gripping the packaged food industry is the increase of mold in the products. This happens due to the presence of oxygen in the surroundings. One of the best solutions to this problem is oxygen absorbers. The absorbers don’t allow the bacteria to grow in this environment in an effective way than the vacuum packaging and other methods. Use of oxygen absorber packets doesn’t affect the taste of food items or cause any other problems. Here are some tips on how to use oxygen absorbers: 1. Quantity: Not all foods need the same amount of oxygen absorber to keep them fresh. The more dense the product, the less amount of oxygen absorbers they need. Foods like dried pasta and beans require more amounts of oxygen absorbers as compared to packaging grains, flours, and rice. 2. Salt and Sugar: You should not store oxygen absorbers with sugar as it can turn sugar hard as a brick. Salt is a preserver itself and doesn’t require oxygen absorber to preserve it. Salt c...
