Lithium carbonate (Cat No.:R050077) is an inorganic compound widely used in both medical and industrial applications. In psychiatry, it is a first-line treatment for bipolar disorder, helping to stabilize mood and reduce the frequency of manic and depressive episodes. Industrially, lithium carbonate is a key material in the production of lithium-ion batteries, ceramics, glass, and aluminum processing. It appears as a white, odorless powder and is soluble in water. Due to its narrow therapeutic range, lithium levels must be carefully monitored during treatment to avoid toxicity and maintain effectiveness in medical use.
