Lithium sulfate is a chemical compound of the lithium from the group of sulfates.

Production and representation

Lithium sulfate is prepared by reaction of lithium carbonate with sulfuric acid.

Properties

Lithium sulfate monohydrate comes as before, which changed to a anhydrate converts at 130 ° C. The monohydrate crystallizes in the monoclinic crystal system in the space group P21. The anhydrate crystallizes in the monoclinic crystal system, but in the space group C52h and four formula units in the unit cell.

Use

Lithium sulphate is used in lithium therapy and schnellbindendem cement. Lithium sulphate single crystals are also used in the piezoelectric, acoustic, ultrasonic transmitter and for light deflection.
