Applications

Used in ceramics, pyrotechnics, salt baths, heat-exchange media, refrigeration systems, and rocket propellant Lithium nitrate is used in ceramics, pyrotechnics, salt baths, heat-exchange media, refrigeration systems, rocket propellant and in solar batteries. It acts as an oxidizing agent in the production of red-colored fireworks and flares; as a catalyst to accelerate the breakdown of nitrogen oxides and as a medium to store heat received from the sun for cooking. It is applied to concrete pavement to withstand weathering effects.

Notes

Hygroscopic. Keep the container tightly closed in a dry and well-ventilated place. Incompatible with reducing agents, strong acids, organic materials and finely powdered metals and oxidizer.Other References :
