Abstract: A mixture (LiH + NaCl) of lithium hydride and sodium chloride was produced by the reaction of lithium chloride and metallic sodium in an atmosphere of hydrogen at slightly elevated temperature and used to synthesize lithium aluminium hydride by the usual Schlesinger method. The by-product of the reaction was a mixture of lithium chloride and sodium chloride, which was separated by various methods and the lithium chloride obtained was recycled.
