Lithium chlorate LiClO3
Has somebody know how about LiClO3? His produce seems be pretty easy. Metal Lithium is easy get from old battery. On YT is many videos about it. Get
Potassium and sodium is difficult. But Lithium is everywhere. Water and Li = LiOH solution in water. H2O + LiOH+Cl2 = LiClO3 + 5 LiCl + 3 H2O. LiCl
has 3,5x less solubility in water than LiClO3. His solubility in water is huge, 777g in 100g H20 at 60 C. Even 250g at 0 Celsia. Solubility LiCl in 0
celsia is only 70g. This properties his predispose for contruction water gel or water plastic energetic materials. With suitable fuel. Principle
should be similarly as NaClO4 + diethylene glycole + water. And It is very powerful water plastic EM. Prepare Cl is easy from HCl + KMnO4 (school
methode on YT). Information about LiClO3 + fuel is very small, less, nothing. Prepare LiClO3 seems, maybe easily, than Na ClO3 from bleach.
Types of reactions:
• KClO3 + LiOH = KOH + LiClO3
• 6 LiOH + 3 Cl2 = 5 LiCl + LiClO3 + 3 H2O
• LiOH + HClO3 = H2O + LiClO3
• LiClO3 + K = Li + KClO3
Thanks for answers. ...LL...

Economy is not good, Lithium salts are a lot more expensive than Sodium around here, pure Lithium metal is far too expensive sourced from finished
primary cells for anything beyond a small (explosive related) experiment (or certain high profit organic chemistry processes, discussion of which
belongs elsewhere).
Lithium polymer rechargeable batteries do use Li perchlorate, again these would be very expensive as an over the counter chemical source.
Never seen LiClO3 or LiClO4 used in production of industrial or improvised EM, probably for such reasons. Agree the solubility data looks
interesting.
A more widely available and cheaper bulk Li source could be LiCO3, used in ceramics and glass production, or Lithium stearate, used in lubricants.

Rapopart’s Rules for critical commentary:
1. Attempt to re-express your target’s position so clearly, vividly and fairly that your target says: “Thanks, I wish I’d thought of putting it
that way.”
2. List any points of agreement (especially if they are not matters of general or widespread agreement).
3. Mention anything you have learned from your target.
4. Only then are you permitted to say so much as a word of rebuttal or criticism.

If arises from Li hydroxide 5 parts LiCl and 1 part LiClO3, is produce really expensive. Even perhaps you have very cheap Li cell. Or free. Maybe some
get 5 Kg of cells free. After is possible do it experiments. You have right. Thanks....LL...

A quick look shows methanol dissolves a good bit of LiClO4-
If I needed the perchlorate, LiCO3 and perchloric aid seems the likely route.

Lithium perchlorate contains more oxygen per volume than liquid oxygen itself!
Perhaps a good way to store oxygen for long periods of time.

I recall some threads here regarding rocket fuels and LiClO4- Probably posted by DubaiAmateurRocketry?
Ah, here it is!

Thanks for link, I read all. Producing any EM on based LiClO3 or LiClO4 is so disadvantage, that all others EM are better. Even in NASA used and
prefer NH4ClO4. Only in cause, that Santa Claus should bring 2 Kg pure LiClO4 under tree. It is last possibility, how tested Lithium chlorate or
perchlorate.

By chance, I'm the owner of 100kg LiOH, two 50kg drums from a bank-routed chemical grocery company --> kind of "garage sale" at 1€/kg...that was
a very good deal 100 €/100 kg  .
It is one of my valuable war treasure...aside with AgCN (1kg/1€) and about 1000 kg (or L) of valuable chemical grade reagents and solvants,
glassware, ...

Score!!
I am waiting for my lucky day.

|
•KClO3 + LiOH = KOH + LiClO3
Maybe, depends on solubility of LiOH vs LiClO3 and of KClO3 vs KOH, I think the favored side of reaction is the left because both left compounds are
least soluble...
•6 LiOH + 3 Cl2 = 5 LiCl + LiClO3 + 3 H2O
If you had AgClO3; then you could simply add it to LiCl or to your batch to get precipitated AgCl and all LiCl converted to LiClO3...
• LiOH + HClO3 = H2O + LiClO3
HClO3 is interesting but even better is its conversion with +/-50% yield into HClO4 by disproportionation heating of the 35% solution upon
boiling....avoid using over 35% as starting material because (explosive ClO2 goes out of solution above 40% cold HClO3).
4 HClO3 --> 3 HClO4 + HCl
HClO3 + HCl --> Cl2 + H2O + O2
--------------------------------------
5 HClO3 --> 3 HClO4 + Cl2 + H2O + O2
Then
LiOH + HClO4 --> LiClO4 + H2O
• LiClO3 + K = Li + KClO3
Nope! You of course know what happens when mixing eletropositive metals like Mg or Al with chlorate salts...flash powder....
What would you think will happen with super electropositive metal like potassium and a super oxydiser like a chlorate?
--> Big deflagration or detonation ... maybe even contact explosive!
--> LiClO3 + 2 K --> LiCl + K2O + O2
Side notes:
Weird reaction  LiCl somehow also hydrolyses back to base and acid...
LiCl + H2O <----> LiOH + HCl
Apparently conversion of LiClO3 to LiClO4 must be possible and easy via electrolysis...so all way down from LiCl to LiClO4 easier than for NaCl or
KCl?

After returning to the several composite rocket propellant threads...
http://www.sciencemadness.org/talk/viewthread.php?tid=25319
and having more time now to read the patents linked, such as:
http://www.google.com.br/patents/US3094444?hl=pt-BR
Many kilos of cheap Li compounds to play with are indeed enviable.

One could also start from lithium carbonate....turn that into chloride and advance from there with the help of electrosynthesis. Lithium carbonate is
quite videly available from industrial chemical suppliers. We use it as a a setting accelerator in aluminate cement based mortars. The current price
tag hovers around 7€/kg....not too bad for a courious experiment, but in the long run it definately is an expensive solution.
Exact science is a figment of imagination.......

I'm a true believer and in Belgium he comes twice a year under close related names ... on 6th december as Santa-Nicolaus (Santa-Nicklaus,
Saint-Nicolas, Sint-Niklaas, Sinterklaas, Saint-Nicholas) and on 24th december as Santa Claus (Père Noel, Kerstvader, Father Christmas,
Weihnachtsmann).
