liCl Accelerating Agent Lithium Chloride Concrete Accelerator
An accelerating agent, or accelerator, in concrete is an additive that reduces the setting time and accelerates the early strength development of the concrete. This is particularly useful in cold weather conditions, as low temperatures significantly slow down the hydration process of cement. Here are some common types of accelerators and their benefits:
Lithium chloride (LiCl) is a less commonly used concrete accelerator, but it has some interesting properties that can be beneficial in certain applications.
Lithium chloride is a white crystal that is easily soluble in water. The solubility under standard conditions is 67g/100ml.It is also soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and pyridine, but is insoluble in e.ther. Lithium chloride has a melting point of 605 ° C, a boiling point of 1350 ° C, and a lattice energy of 853 kJ/mol.

Lithium chloride is sometimes used as an admixture in concrete to control alkali-silica reaction (ASR), which is a chemical reaction that can occur between the alkalis in cement and reactive silica in aggregates. ASR can lead to expansion and cracking in concrete over time, compromising its durability.
Used for air conditioning, as a flux, desiccant, chemical reagent, and used in fireworks, dry batteries and lithium metal.
