Lithium bromide is a high-efficiency water vapor absorbent and air humidity regulator.
The refrigeration industry is widely used as absorption refrigerant, and the organic industry is used as hydrogen chloride deaging agent and organic fiber expander.
Lithium bromide is used medicinally as a hypnotic and sedative.
The battery industry is used as an electrolyte for high-energy batteries and miniature batteries.
In addition, Lithium bromide is also used in the photographic industry and analytical chemistry.
Lithium bromide can also be used as a pharmaceutical intermediate.
1. Refrigeration and Air Conditioning: It is commonly used in absorption chillers, where it acts as a refrigerant. Its ability to absorb water vapor makes it very effective in cooling systems.
2. Desiccant: Due to its hygroscopic properties, lithium bromide is used as a desiccant to remove moisture from the air in a variety of applications, including industrial processes and packaging.
3. Medicine: Lithium bromide has been used in the past as a sedative and to treat certain mental health conditions, although it is less common now than other lithium compounds.
4. Chemical synthesis: As a reagent for various chemical reactions, it can also be used in the synthesis of other lithium compounds.
5. Analytical Chemistry: Lithium bromide can be used in certain analytical techniques, such as for the preparation of samples for spectroscopic analysis.
6. Electrolyte in Batteries: It is sometimes used as part of the electrolyte solution in lithium-ion batteries.

Stored in a dry and ventilated warehouse.
1. Container: Store lithium bromide in a sealed, moisture-proof container to prevent it from absorbing moisture from the air as it is hygroscopic.
2. Environment: Store the container in a cool and dry place, away from direct sunlight and heat sources. High temperature and high humidity will affect its stability.
3. Label: Clearly label containers with the chemical name and any relevant hazard information.
4. Separation: Store it away from incompatible substances (such as strong acids or oxidants) to prevent any potential reactions.
5. Safety Precautions: Follow any specific safety guidelines provided by the manufacturer or supplier, including the use of personal protective equipment (PPE) when handling the substance.
1. Packaging: Make sure that lithium bromide is packed in suitable and safe containers that are moisture-proof and leak-proof. Use moisture-proof and corrosion-resistant materials.
2. Label: Clearly label all containers with the chemical name, hazard symbol, and any relevant safety information. This helps handlers and emergency responders understand the contents of the container.
3. Handling: When handling lithium bromide, use personal protective equipment (PPE) such as gloves, goggles, and a mask to avoid skin and eye contact and inhalation of dust.
4. Temperature Control: Keep the material in a temperature-controlled environment during transportation to prevent exposure to extreme heat or cold, which may affect its stability.
5. Avoid Incompatible Materials: Ensure that lithium bromide is not shipped together with incompatible materials (such as strong acids or oxidants) to prevent any potential reactions.
6. Regulatory Compliance: Comply with all local, national, and international regulations regarding the transportation of dangerous goods. This includes following guidelines set by organizations such as the Department of Transportation (DOT) or the International Air Transport Association (IATA).
7. Emergency Procedures: Develop emergency procedures to deal with spills or accidents during transportation. This includes preparing spill kits and first aid supplies.
