Technology comment
The synthesis of lithium chloride in this process uses lithium water in the lithium water tank as raw material, and uses industrial hydrochloric acid to prepare a nearly saturated lithium chloride solution in a neutralization kettle. The lithium chloride aqueous solution is crystallized through concentration, and centrifuged to obtain lithium chloride crystals; it is processed into finished lithium chloride products through drying, cooling, packaging and other processes. The core chemical reaction equation of this process is: LiOH+HCl=LiCl+H2O.
