Definitions

  1. Lithium oxide, Li₂O, used in the manufacture of ceramics and glass.

Word origin

Borrowed from Ancient Greek λίθος (líthos, “a stone”), apparently because it is found only in minerals; discovered 1817 by Johan August Arfwedson.

Used in a sentence

  • This can be an acute problem with certain glass-ceramics because of the use of large quantities of lithia, in particular, which readily attack the refractories.
  • The major source of lithia is lepidolite, the most widespread of the lithia-containing minerals with deposits in the United States, Canada, Rhodesia, South Africa, India, China, Russia, Japan and Germany.
