White powder | [Uses]
Lithium Metaborate is commonly used as a fused compound or a component for an assay. It has been used for the analysis of wild rice for silicon, calcium, magnesium and potassium. Lithium metaborate was used to fuse with solid samples for decomposition. | [Uses]
Lithium metaborate is used for flux.
| [Preparation]
Lithium metaborate, LiBO2, may be prepared by fusing together either lithium hydroxide or lithium carbonate and boric acid in the proper stoichiometric ratio. Recrystallization from water at about room temperature yields lithium metaborate- octahydrate, LiBO2·8H2O. The octahydrate may be dried to yield a dihydrate, LiBO2-2H2O, or a half-hydrate, LiBO2·0.5H2O.
| [General Description]
Lithium metaborate (LiBO2) is the lithium salt of boric acid. It can be synthesized by reacting orthoboric acid with lithium carbonate. Its crystals belong to the monoclinic crystal system having space group P21/c. Three polymorphic forms have been identified on ambient pressure devitrification of LiBO2: α-, γ- and β′-LiBO2. | [Flammability and Explosibility]
