Abstract

The lithium/bromine complex (Li/BCX), lithium/sulfuryl chloride, and lithium/chlorine in sulfuryl chloride (Li/CSC) chemistries are liquid depolarizer systems. They are all commercially available but are not in use nearly as much as the liquid depolarizer lithium/thionyl chloride and lithium/sulfur dioxide systems discussed in the previous chapters.
