Why is Product 212776, Lithium aluminum hydride solution, considered carcinogenic?
The carcinogen reference comes from Tetrahydrofuran (THF). The solution is 90% THF. The THF reference is form the National Toxicology Program (NTP) database.
Product 212776, Lithium aluminum hydride solution, appears to container a precipitate in it. Is it still OK to use?
Most if not all solid lithium aluminum hydride will contain some form of insoluble oxides from slight air exposure. You should be able to filter the insolubles - keeping air exposure to a minimum is the key. This procedure should be done entirely under argon (argon is typically a drier gas than nitrogen). If the final solution is exposed to air at any time, insolubles will be formed which will then require further filtration to get clear again.
