Background technology:
Exploitation is to solve the energy-intensive important channel based on the new forms of energy power set of lithium battery, and along with the expansion of field of lithium battery application and the development of power vehicle, the anode material of lithium battery industry is just becoming the industry of most active and tool investment value; And wherein high-performance, low cost and eco-friendly LiMn2O4 are the positive electrodes of tool prospect; It has, and price is low to be held concurrently, and fail safe is good, and multiplying power discharging property is superior; Therefore advantages such as non-environmental-pollution are the heat subjects of studying both at home and abroad.At present preparation method's reported in literature of relevant LiMn2O4 is a lot, mainly contains two kinds of methods: (1) high temperature solid-phase sintering method, and under 500 ℃~900 ℃ temperature, divide 2 to 3 temperature sections to calcine generation in the mixture of lithium compound and manganese compound; (2) liquid phase synthesizing method is dissolved in lithium salts and manganese salt in the mixed solution of polynary organic monoacid and polyalcohol, through solation and gelation process and form gel precipitation, makes LiMn2O4 through the heat treatment gel precipitation again.Above-mentioned traditional liquid-phase precipitation method requires harsh in preparation presoma process to condition couplings such as the pH of solution, temperature, speed of agitator, reactant concentrations, still fail to drop into commercial production at present.The conventional high-temperature solid-phase sintering method is easy and simple to handle, has realized suitability for industrialized production, but LiMn2O4 that the conventional high-temperature solid-phase sintering method is processed and chemical stability thereof are all unresolved with long-term cyclical stability; Reason is that traditional solid-phase sintering method raw material manganese compound impurity content is high; Particularly Na, K ion are difficult to remove, out-of-shape, and particle size distribution is wide; Active low, can't the good LiMn2O4 product of processability.
Summary of the invention:
The purpose of this invention is to provide lithium manganate material of a kind of superior performance and preparation method thereof; High-leveled and difficult to overcome the impurities of materials content that prior art exists with stably reaching standard, or the condition couplings such as pH, temperature, speed of agitator, reactant concentration of solution require shortcoming such as harshness with not enough in the preparation presoma process.
Lithium cell anode material lithium manganate provided by the invention is spherical pattern, 5~30 microns of average grain diameters, tap density 1.8~2.5g/m
3, specific area 0.5~1.5m
2/ g, Na and K ion total content are less than 15mg/kg, and the impurity content except that Na and K is all less than 10mg/kg.
Lithium cell anode material lithium manganate provided by the invention, its preparation method mainly may further comprise the steps:
(1) mechanical activation; The high purity manganese sulfate of LITHIUM BATTERY is measured than after mixing according to the corresponding chemical of end product LiMn2O4 with the high purity lithium based compound; Add organic activator and in milling apparatus, grind, under the organic activator effect, make the full and uniform admixture activation of two solid phase powders;
(2) solid-phase sintering is sent the raw material behind the mechanical activation into calciner, and the control temperature is at 600 ℃~1200 ℃, and calcining is 1~5 hour under vacuum or nitrogen atmosphere, promptly prepares the lithium manganate material that is used for lithium ion cell positive;
(3) prepare manganese sulfate solution, the sulfurous gas of solid-phase sintering generation is drawn from calciner send into pyrolusite pulp sulfur dioxide absorption reactor thermally, produce manganese sulfate solution with the sulfur dioxide that pyrolusite pulp absorbs in the gas;
(4) manganese sulfate solution purification and impurity removal; In the manganese sulfate solution of processing to be clean, induce and generate hydroxyl radical free radical OH with strong oxidizing property; The manganese dioxide or the mangano-manganic oxide that generate nascent state with manganese ion reaction in hydroxyl radical free radical OH and the manganese sulfate solution are as the original position adsorbent; Impurity in the absorption manganese sulfate solution forms manganese oxides precipitate, and precipitate and separate is removed manganese oxides precipitate, obtains to satisfy LITHIUM BATTERY manganese based raw material and produces required high-purity sulphuric acid manganese solution;
(5) high purity manganese sulfate preparation; The high-purity sulphuric acid manganese solution that the high-temperature calcination gas that produces with step (2) solid-phase sintering is produced step (4) heats, concentrates, crystallization obtains high purity manganese sulfate, and the high purity manganese sulfate that makes is turned back to step (1) as the raw material of producing lithium manganate material.
In above-mentioned technology of preparing scheme, the solid-phase sintering preferred calcination temperature is 750 ℃~900 ℃; Said organic activator is preferentially selected the organic substance of alcohol, ketone and aldehyde for use; The addition of organic activator is preferably the scope of high purity manganese sulfate and high purity lithium based compound total weight 0.05~2.00%; The adding of organic activator can add in the mixing of high purity manganese sulfate and high purity lithium based compound, and also can in process of lapping, add; Potassium in said high purity manganese sulfate and the high purity lithium based compound crystal, the total content of sodium impurity elements are lower than 10mg/kg, and the total content of calcium, magnesium, iron, aluminium, cobalt, nickel, copper, zinc, lead, cadmium, arsenic, sila prime element is lower than 8mg/kg.
Anode material for lithium-ion batteries provided by the invention hangs down sodium potassium LiMn2O4 preparation method; Directly adopt high purity manganese sulfate and one step of lithium-based compound sintering to generate LiMn2O4; The high-temperature calcination gas that produces with solid-phase sintering is thermal source; The high-purity sulphuric acid manganese solution that the sulfur-bearing calcining gas that produces with solid-phase sintering is produced heats, concentrates, crystallization obtains as the high purity manganese sulfate that hangs down one of sodium potassium lithium manganate material synthesis material; Constitute closed cycle, energy-saving and emission-reduction, the eco-friendly process route of manganese based raw material, and technological process is brief.It is high that the present invention has overcome traditional solid sintering technology raw material manganese compound impurity content, and particularly Na, K ion are difficult to remove the problem that the product that brings is difficult to stably reaching standard.Avoid condition couplings such as pH that traditional liquid-phase precipitation method prepares solution in the presoma process, temperature, speed of agitator, reactant concentration simultaneously and required harsh drawback.
