Description

Reaction for preparing battery anode material precursor and purification system and process thereof
Technical Field
The invention particularly relates to a reaction and purification system and process suitable for preparing a precursor of a positive electrode material of a lithium/sodium ion battery.
Background
The lithium ion battery has the advantages of high working voltage, long cycle life, light weight, less self-discharge, no memory effect, high cost performance and the like, and is widely applied to the fields of consumer electronic products, new energy automobiles and the like. Compared with a lithium ion battery, the energy density and the voltage of the sodium ion battery are relatively low, the lithium ion battery can be used for the situation that the volume and the portability are not high, and the advantages of high sodium content and low cost can be fully exerted, so that the lithium ion battery becomes a research hot spot and is hopeful to become an inexpensive way for replacing the lithium ion battery. Wherein the positive electrode material is one of the core parts of the lithium/sodium ion battery, and determines the performance of the lithium/sodium ion battery. The positive electrode materials of the lithium/sodium ion battery comprise lithium cobalt oxide/sodium, lithium manganese oxide/sodium, binary materials, ternary materials and the like, and precursors of the positive electrode materials can be generally prepared by utilizing corresponding metal salt solutions and alkali solutions to crystallize through coprecipitation reaction, and then filtering, separating, washing, purifying, drying and the like.
In the existing preparation process, when a continuous method is adopted, the nucleation rate in a reaction kettle is difficult to control, and most of crystal nuclei are likely to be generated due to improper operation or untimely reasons, so that the average particle size of a final product is too small, the particle size distribution is too wide, and clear mother liquor with a large number of crystal nuclei and fine crystal grains needs to be discharged from the reaction kettle in the actual operation process; when the batch process or the semi-continuous semi-indirect process is adopted, along with the progress of the reaction, the solid content in the reaction kettle is continuously increased, the number of crystal nuclei in the reaction kettle is also continuously increased, and in order to fully utilize the volume of the reaction kettle and prevent the explosion of the reaction kettle from nucleation, the clear mother solution containing the crystal nuclei is also required to be separated from the reaction kettle. In the actual production process, a solid lifting device is arranged outside the reaction kettle body to separate clear mother solution, and the separated solid particles return to the reaction kettle to continue growing. Common extractors include settling tanks and thickeners, where the settling tank cannot concentrate the slurry to a higher solids content, typically not more than 20%; the thickener realizes solid-liquid separation of slurry in a filter rod filtering mode, and the filter cake is easy to form and the growth morphology of particles is influenced although the filtering area and the efficiency are higher. The external solid lifting device separation increases the complexity and investment cost of the process flow and operation. In the conventional in-vitro separation process, crystals generated by coprecipitation in a reaction kettle are treated by separation and washing equipment which are arranged independently, and the washing process is usually filter cake filtration washing (such as a centrifuge and a plate frame), and the material washing is insufficient and uneven due to the thickness of a filter cake layer, the directional flow direction of washing water and dead angles formed by the equipment, so that the requirement of impurity removal can be met only through dilution effect of a large amount of water consumption.
