ABSTRACT:
Lithium is continuously converted into lithium hydride, is suitable phase contactor/decanter apparatus, by continuously hydrogenating in a first reaction zone, at elevated temperatures, an agitated intimate admixture of metallic lithium in a mixture of molten salts, continuously discharging the effluent of said hydrogenation reaction to a second zone of decantation, whereby said effluent is separated into a floating light phase essentially consisting of unreacted lithium metal and a heavy phase which comprises product lithium hydride dissolved in said mixture of molten salts, continuously recycling floating light phase back to the hydrogenation reaction zone, continuously withdrawing heavy phase from said zone of decantation, and recovering product lithium hydride from said withdrawn heavy phase.
