I-lithium hydroxide ingasetshenziswa njenge-developing agent yokuhlaziya i-spectroscopic, njenge-lubricant, njenge-additive kuma-electrolyte ebhethri ye-alkaline, engandisa umthamo ngo-12% kuya ku-15% futhi yandise impilo yesevisi izikhathi ezi-2 kuya kwezi-3.
Ingasetshenziswa njengesithuthu se-carbon dioxide ukuhlanzwa komoya ngaphakathi kwezikebhe zokucwilisa.
Ifomula yamakhemikhali ithi: 2LiOH(s) + CO2(g) = Li2CO3(s) + H2O(l).
Isetshenziswa ekulungiseleleni usawoti we-lithium namafutha okugcoba asekelwe ku-lithium, njengento yokuhambisa ugesi kumabhethri e-alkaline, njengento yokumunca i-bromine kumishini yokupholisa i-lithium, njalo njalo; isetshenziswa embonini kaphethiloli, embonini yamakhimikhali, embonini elula, embonini yenuzi, njalo njalo. Lapho isetshenziswa kumabhethri e-alkaline, okuqukethwe yi-aluminium akufanele kudlule ku-0.06% kanti okuqukethwe yi-lead akufanele kudlule ku-0.01%. Isetshenziswa njengesinqamuli sokuhlaziya, njengomthuthukisi wesithombe, futhi futhi ekwenzeni i-lithium; kufanele isetshenziswe njengento eluhlaza ekwenzeni izinto ezihlobene ne-lithium. Ingase futhi isetshenziswe embonini yensimbi, kaphethiloli, engilazini, kwezobumba nezinye izimboni.
