Description

Method for preparing ferric phosphate from refined phosphoric acid
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of chemical metallurgy, in particular to a method for preparing ferric phosphate from refined phosphoric acid.
Background
The lithium iron phosphate gradually exceeds the loading capacity of the ternary battery, and the reverse exceeding of the lithium iron phosphate battery is closely related to the raw material price of the power battery and the high safety of the lithium iron phosphate battery. It is predicted that lithium iron phosphate batteries will also have a wide range of applications in the energy storage field.
Preparation process of lithium iron phosphateThere are various, among which the mainstream techniques include three, a solid phase method based on iron phosphate, a solid phase method based on ferrous oxalate, and a liquid phase method based on iron nitrate. Iron phosphate is an important requirement for the development of low cost manufacturing techniques as a core precursor for the first process. The preparation process of the ferric phosphate mainly comprises a one-step method and a two-step method, and the quality of the ferric phosphate can be improved by the two-step method compared with the one-step method, so that the method is a main method adopted in industrial production. The two-step process includes two modes of synthesis, the first mode of synthesis being to first react a ferrous source (e.g. FeSO 4 ·7H 2 O) and a phosphorus source (e.g. (NH) 4 ) 2 HPO 4 ) Adjusting pH to 4-5 with ammonia water, and precipitating to obtain ferrous phosphate octahydrate (Fe) 3 (PO 4 ) 2 ·8H 2 Washing ferrous phosphate octahydrate, stirring with water solution, pulping, adding phosphoric acid and hydrogen peroxide into the slurry, heating the slurry to below 100deg.C to obtain ferric phosphate dihydrate crystal (FePO) 4 ·2H 2 O) the ferric phosphate dihydrate crystals are washed again to increase purity; the second mode of synthesis is to first make the ferrous source (e.g. FeSO 4 ·7H 2 O) and a phosphorus source (e.g. (NH) 4 ) 2 HPO 4 ) Reacting in the presence of oxidant (such as hydrogen peroxide) to form amorphous ferric phosphate precipitate, washing the obtained amorphous ferric phosphate precipitate, adding the washed amorphous ferric phosphate precipitate into phosphoric acid solution, and crystallizing at 85-100deg.C to obtain ferric phosphate dihydrate crystal, which can be washed again to remove entrained free ions.
In addition, CN112390237a discloses a method for preparing nano-structured ferric phosphate, specifically, pumping mixed solution of hydrogen peroxide and phosphate or concentrated phosphoric acid into acidic solution (pH value 0.1-1.0) obtained by dissolving and filtering titanium white byproduct ferrous sulfate, then introducing ammonia water to adjust pH value to 1.0-3.0, stirring at 100 ℃ to prepare white ferric phosphate slurry, and carrying out solid-liquid separation and solid dehydration treatment to obtain anhydrous nano-structured ferric phosphate.
CN104944400B and CN110482512a also adopt ferrous sulfate and phosphoric acid as iron source and phosphorus source respectively to precipitate ferric phosphate, but the pH value of the mixed solution is not adjusted by adding ammonia base or sodium base, but the pH value is increased by adding water for dilution to help ferric phosphate precipitation, the precipitation temperature is below 100 ℃, which is a dilution hydrolysis precipitation method, which can avoid the generation of salt-containing wastewater such as ammonium sulfate, but the water circulation amount is large.
CN102491302B discloses a battery-grade anhydrous ferric phosphate and a preparation method thereof, which takes ferrous sulfate or ferrous chloride as an iron source, phosphoric acid or phosphate as a phosphorus source, prepares a mixed solution of the iron source and the phosphorus source, prepares an alkaline regulator based on ammonium, pumps the mixed solution and the alkaline regulator into a stirring reactor, inputs compressed air, controls the pH to be 0.5-7.5 through the adjustment of liquid materials and air flow, and generates NH 4 Fe 2 (OH)(PO 4 ) 2 ·2H 2 And (3) fully washing the solid and roasting to obtain the battery grade anhydrous ferric phosphate of the orthorhombic crystal form.
However, the above-mentioned documents still have problems of large water circulation amount or generation of ammonia-containing wastewater.
