3 . Hazardous Overview

Potential Acute Health Effects:

Eye Contact: May cause eye irritation.

Skin Contact: Slightly hazardous, may cause skin irritation.

Inhalation: May be irritating to the respiratory tract.

Ingestion: Harmful.

Potential Chronic Health Effects:

Skin Contact: May be sensitizing.

Repeated or prolonged exposure may cause damage to the kidneys, peripheral nervous system, central nervous system (CNS), and thyroid.

The substance may be mutagenic to mammalian somatic cells.

4 . First Aid Measures

Eye Contact: Immediately check for and remove any contact lenses. Flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Cold water can be used. Seek medical attention after flushing.

Skin Contact: Wash the contact area with soap and water. If irritation occurs, apply an emollient and seek medical advice.

Inhalation: Move the inhaler to a place with fresh air. If breathing stops, perform artificial respiration; if breathing is difficult, give oxygen and seek medical attention in time.

Ingestion: Do not induce vomiting unless directed by medical personnel. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. If a large amount is swallowed, call a doctor immediately and loosen tight clothing such as collars, ties, belts, or waistbands.

5 . Fire - Fighting Measures

Flammability of the Product: Non - flammable.

Auto - Ignition Temperature: Not applicable.

Flash Points: Not applicable.

Flammable Limits: Not applicable.

Combustion Products: No clear relevant data.

Fire - Fighting Media and Methods: The product is non - flammable. In case of fire, use fire - fighting media suitable for the surrounding environment, such as dry powder, carbon dioxide, and water mist.

6 . Emergency Response to Leakage

Small Spill: Use appropriate tools to collect the spilled solid into a convenient waste disposal container. If necessary, neutralize the residue with a dilute solution.

Large Spill: Construct dikes or dig pits to contain the leaked material. Avoid the leakage from entering sewers, surface water, and groundwater. Use suitable adsorbent materials (such as sand, activated carbon, etc.) to absorb the leaked material and transfer it to a safe place for disposal.

7 . Handling and Storage

Handling Precautions:

Operators should be specially trained and strictly follow the operating procedures.

Operations should be carried out in a well - ventilated area.

Avoid contact of eyes and skin with the product, and avoid inhaling dust.

Keep away from fire sources and heat sources. Smoking is strictly prohibited in the workplace.

Use explosion - proof ventilation systems and equipment.

Avoid contact with prohibited substances such as strong oxidants, strong acids, and strong alkalis.

Handle with care during transportation to prevent damage to packaging and containers.

Storage Precautions:

Store in a cool and ventilated warehouse.

Keep the container sealed to avoid moisture.

Store separately from oxidants, acids, alkalis, etc. Do not store them together.

Keep away from fire sources and heat sources.

8 . Transportation Information

UN Dangerous Goods Number: Not a dangerous good.

UN Transport Name: No special regulations.

Packing Category: Packing for non - dangerous goods. During transportation, ensure that the packaging is intact to prevent product leakage and moisture.

9. Application:  

(1) Pharmaceutical Industry

Lithium carbonate is a key mood stabilizer for bipolar disorder and depression, regulating neurotransmitters. It's also a vital raw material for synthesizing lithium - based drugs and intermediates.

(2) Battery Industry

Essential for lithium - ion batteries, it's used in electrolytes to boost conductivity and stability. It's also crucial for manufacturing cathode materials in EVs, electronics, and energy storage systems.

(3) Ceramics and Glass Industry

In ceramics, it improves glaze melting and thermal stability. In glass manufacturing, it acts as a flux, reducing melting points for optical and heat - resistant glass products.

(4) Lubricant and Grease Industry

A main ingredient in lithium - based greases, it imparts high - temperature resistance and mechanical stability, widely used in automotive, industrial, and aerospace applications.

(5) Chemical Synthesis and Catalysis

Functions as a base or catalyst in organic reactions, enabling the production of various chemicals and polymers, including ion - exchange membranes.

(6) Agriculture and Food Industry

Used as a trace - element fertilizer in agriculture, and as a regulated pH regulator or stabilizer in certain food products.

(7) Construction Industry

As a concrete admixture, it speeds up setting, improves early - age strength, and reduces alkali - aggregate reactions. It's also used in fire - resistant coatings and optimizes cement hydration for better mechanical properties.
