In this report, a hydroxide corrosion growth model is proposed for the reaction of previously vacuum-baked LiH samples with moisture. The model is then validated experimentally by subjecting a previously vacuum-baked polycrystalline LiH sample to 35 ppm of H2O at room temperature while monitoring the corrosion growth as a function of time with diffuse-reflectance infrared Fourier transform (DRIFT) spectroscopy. Kinetic parameters extracted from the validating experiments can be used to make long-term prediction.
