LITHIUM SULFIDE(CAS: 12136-58-2)

Lithium Sulfide (CAS: 12136-58-2) is a chemical compound with the formula Li2S. It is a white or yellowish solid that is highly reactive with water and air, forming lithium hydroxide and hydrogen sulfide. It has a melting point of around 600°C and a boiling point of 1000°C.

Lithium Sulfide (CAS: 12136-58-2) is primarily used in the production of lithium compounds, such as lithium metal for batteries. It also finds applications in nuclear reprocessing, as a reducing agent, and in the synthesis of other lithium-containing chemicals.

Lithium Sulfide (CAS: 12136-58-2) is not considered safe for direct human contact due to its strong reactivity with water and air. It can release hydrogen sulfide gas, which is toxic and corrosive. Proper handling requires protective equipment and strict adherence to safety protocols.

Lithium Sulfide (CAS: 12136-58-2) should be stored in a dry, cool place away from heat sources, flames, and oxidizing materials. It should be kept in a tightly sealed container to prevent exposure to moisture and air. Avoid contact with water and other reactive chemicals during storage.
