Chemical properties
It is easy to absorb carbon dioxide and moisture in the air, but the absorption capacity is slightly worse than that of NaOH and KOH. Lithium hydroxide has the general property of alkali, and the following reactions can occur.
1. alkaline reaction
It can make purple litmus test solution blue and colorless phenolphthalein to turn red; and its concentrated solution can denature phenolphthalein after experimental verification, so that the solution changes from red to colorless (similar to concentrated NaOH).
2. neutralized with acid
HCl+LiOH=LiCl+H2O
3. Reacts with acidic oxides
2LiOH+CO2=Li2CO3+H2O (this reaction is used to absorb carbon dioxide in aerospace)
4. Reacts with metal salt solutions
FeCl3+3LiOH=Fe(OH)3↓+3LiCl

Application
Lithium hydroxide can be used as developing agent and lubricating oil for spectral analysis. The additive of alkaline battery electrolyte can increase the electric capacity by 12% to 15% and increase the service life by 2 to 3 times.
It can be used as an absorbent for carbon dioxide and can purify the air in submarines.
The chemical equation is: 2LiOH(s)+CO2(g)=Li2CO3(s)+H2O(l).
It is used to make lithium salt and lithium-based grease, electrolyte of alkaline battery, absorption liquid of lithium bromide refrigerator, etc.; used in petroleum, chemical industry, light industry, nuclear industry, etc. When used in alkaline batteries, the aluminum content is not more than 0.06%, and the lead content is not more than 0.01%. It is used as an analytical reagent, a photographic developer, and also in the manufacture of lithium; it is used as a raw material for the preparation of lithium compounds. It can also be used in metallurgy, petroleum, glass, ceramics and other industries.
Lithium hydroxide is mainly consumed for the production of lithium greases. A popular lithium grease is lithium stearate, which is a general-purpose lubricating grease due to its high resistance to water and usefulness at both high and low temperatures.
Carbon dioxide scrubbing
Lithium hydroxide is used in breathing gas purification systems for spacecraft, submarines, and rebreathers to remove carbon dioxide from exhaled gas by producing lithium carbonate and water
It is used as a heat transfer medium and as a storage-battery electrolyte. It is also used in ceramics and somePortland cement formulations. Lithium hydroxide (isotopically enriched in lithium-7) is used to alkalize the reactor coolant in pressurized water reactors for corrosion control.
