Lithium formate hydrate Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

WHITE CRYSTALLINE POWDER

Uses

It is used in the investigation of signal fading in lithium formate EPR dosimeters using a new sensitive method.

Preparation

Lithium formate may be synthesised from formic acid or from lithium carbonate and lithium hydroxide. 
LiOH + HCOOH → HCOOLi + H₂O
Li₂CO₃ + 2HCOOH → 2HCOOLi + CO₂ + H₂O

Purification Methods

Crystallise it from hot water (0.5mL/g) by chilling. [Beilstein 2 III 22, 2 IV 13.]
