Lithium hydroxide (LiOH) is used on space vehicles to remove carbon dioxide from the air. LiOH is a strong base whereas CO2 is mildly acidic. The two react to produce lithium carbonate and water.

What is sod superoxide dismutase used for?
it is an enzyme for dismutation of superoxide radicals that are formed in the aerobic respiration
Is Li2O ionic?
Lithium superoxide is not formed or a stable compound at standard temperature and pressure. If exists, it would be a highly ionic compound.
What are the economic uses of lithium?
Lithium is used in Lithium Batteries, which are used in computers. Also, Lithium is used to make Lithium-Ion batteries, which are used in many portable devices, such as MP3 players. Lithium used to be used to treat Mania Disorder.
Is lithium carbonate an opiate?
No, Lithium is a salt that is used to treat Bipolar disorder
