通过创新开创可靠的医疗设备和医疗保健解决方案。

Albemarle is playing a pivotal role in enabling Pressure Swing Adsorption (PSA) – a cost-effective, sustainable method for producing essential medical oxygen with purity greater than 90%. Our global footprint in large volume production of lithium chloride brine allows for onsite PSA installations at hospitals and clinics, ensuring a nearby and reliable supply for treating respiratory diseases. The process minimizes energy costs and eliminates the transportation of heavy oxygen gas bottles.

Activated cesium salts in scintillation detectors efficiently absorb high-energy radiation, such as x-rays and gamma rays, reemitting the energy as visible light. This process yields imagery that offers in-depth anatomical and functional insights, enhancing diagnostic accuracy. Our ongoing challenge in high-energy radiation absorption R&D is to minimize the radiation dose absorbed by patients, prioritizing both safety and image quality.

Albemarle Corporation stands as a global leader in the production of Lithium Hydroxide (Anhydrous), specifically tailored for Emergency Escape Breathing Device (EEBD) applications. EEBD devices are crucial in various challenging environments, including mining, confined spaces, underground work, sewer operations and below sea-level tasks on navy ships. These devices, serving as CO2 scrubbers, generate a limited amount of emergency oxygen, allowing individuals to escape to a normal atmosphere. Depending on the type and size, these devices typically provide a duration of 30-60 minutes. 

Albemarle manufactures Lithium Hydroxide Anhydrous that meets absorption abilities and mesh requirements, offering customized solutions to cater to the diverse needs of different customer specifications.

Albemarle's lithium-based products provide safe, reliable, consistent and durable power sources for lifesaving implantable medical devices such as pacemakers. Our innovation contributes to the medical industry goals of reduced need for invasive surgeries and improve the quality of life for those dependent on vital medical devices. Lithium metal from Albemarle is available in multi form factors that include foil and anode.
