Sources for LiI

[alchemy_bee]

Well i dunno about cheaper. SWIM has huge tanks of medical grade N2 that she has never had a use for, and the glassware needed wouldnt be any more than what one would use for a distillation setup; a heating flask, inlet and trap. Else wise SWIM would have to buy a desicating cabinet and more chems?

What would be the desicating chem of choice though?

Tanks of medical grade N2 eh?

[alchemy_bee]

Yes blue tanks of ACS grade N2 that was purchased from a gas company specializing medical gas supply. Did you have somthing to add to my thread Terb, otherwise Alchemy_bee rates your post as INSIGNIFICANT.

I think you might mean N2O........

If so, this is precisely what terbium was subtly referring to. From your response, my guess would be that you have N2 confused with N2O. But I dont know....

[alchemy_bee]

No its deffinatly N2 that i was refering to, although the same place is a great source for N20 as well. Either way it would still be very easy to heat LiI to 300 under an innert stream of gas, im still trying to asses if this is a vaible way to obtain the dyhydrated form of LiI.

Desication may very well be the way to go, what desicating agent should be used and what should the setup be like (I have never desicated anything)?
