Lithium nitrite is the lithium salt of nitrous acid, with the formula LiNO2. This compound is hygroscopic and very soluble in water. It is used as a corrosion inhibitor in mortar. It is also used in the production of explosives, due to its ability to nitrosate ketones under certain conditions.

Industrial uses

Reinforcement bars, ready mixed concrete materials, and repair materials are often subject to corrosion. These resources will rapidly degrade due to chloride attack and carbonatation. This not only affects the service lives of such materials, but it also requires a considerable cost for the repair of such defects. Lithium nitrite and calcium nitrite are generally used in the construction industry as a means to protect reinforced concrete structures from corrosion. Unlike calcium nitrite inhibitors, lithium nitrite is particularly valued for corrosion inhibition and resistance of carbonation when an accelerated hardening process is not used and when a high concentration of 10% or more cement is added by weight.

Generally speaking, studying the effectiveness of such inhibitors has been done using destructive methods. These studies require placing specimens to accelerated corrosion and measuring the degree of corrosion. "However, it is extremely difficult to measure the effect of corrosion inhibitors in actual structures using a destructive method."

Recently, sensors that can measure changes in electrical resistance due to the corrosion in iron and thus indicate the degree of corrosion of material have been developed. These sensors provide a non-destructive way to evaluate the degree of corrosion in concrete materials. Therefore, the effect of Lithium Nitrite as a corrosion inhibitor has also been studied by non-destructive means.
