Hereinafter, the method for producing the lithium difluorophosphate salt crystal of the present invention will be described in detail.

The lithium difluorophosphate salt crystal of the present invention is prepared by reacting lithium hexafluorophosphate (LiPF ₆ ) and a crown ether compound in an organic solvent to synthesize lithium difluorophosphate (LiPO ₂ F ₂ ) salt crystal. It is manufactured by, and more specifically, step 1-1 of preparing a mixed solution by adding lithium hexafluorophosphate (LiPF ₆ ) and a crown ether compound to an organic solvent and stirring; Step 1-2 of adding the mixed solution to the reactor, converting the inside of the reactor to an inert atmosphere, raising the temperature, and performing the reaction while stirring; And after completion of the reaction, steps 1-3 of performing filtration, washing and drying to obtain lithium difluorophosphate salt crystals.

The amount of lithium hexafluorophosphate and crown ether compound added to the organic solvent in step 1-1 is 1:0.5 to 1.2 molar ratio, preferably 1:0.6 to 1.0 molar ratio. More preferably, the molar ratio of 1:0.6 to 1.0 is good in terms of minimizing by-products due to side reactions and in terms of yield of lithium difluorophosphate salt crystals.

In addition, the crown ether compound uses a substituted or unsubstituted crown ether compound, and the crown ether compound is 1,4,7,10-Tetraoxacyclododecane (1,4,7,10-Tetraoxacyclododecane), 1 ,4,7,10,13-pentaoxacyclopentadecane (1,4,7,10,13-pentaoxacyclopentadecane), 1,4,7,10,13,16-hexaoxacyclooctadecane (1, 4,7,10,13,16-hexaoxacyclooctadecane) and 4,13-diaza-18-crown-6-ether (diaza-18-crown-6-ether), preferably It may include at least one selected from 1,4,7,10-tetraoxacyclododecane and 1,4,7,10,13-pentaoxacyclopentadecane, more preferably 1,4 , 7,10-tetraoxacyclododecane can be used.

And, when the crown ether compound has a substituent, the substituent is one C ₁ to C ₃ straight-chain hydroxyalkyl group (-ROH, where R is a C ₁ to C ₃ straight-chain alkylene group) as a substituent. It may contain two or more.

In addition, the organic solvent may be a carbonate-based solvent, and the carbonate solvent may include one or more selected from dimethyl carbonate, diethyl carbonate, methyl ethyl carbonate, vinyl carbonate, and methyl propionate, preferably It may include one or more types selected from dimethyl carbonate, diethyl carbonate, and methyl ethyl carbonate, and more preferably, it may include one or more types selected from dimethyl carbonate and diethyl carbonate.

For a preferred example, the reaction catalyst may be added at a molar ratio of 0.001 to 0.020 per mole of lithium hexafluorophosphate.

Additionally, the inert atmosphere in steps 1 and 2 can be formed by adding an inert gas such as nitrogen gas or argon gas.

The reaction in steps 1-2 is performed by converting the inside of the reactor to an inert atmosphere, heating until the internal temperature of the reactor reaches 50 to 80°C, preferably 60 to 70°C, and more preferably 65 to 70°C. It can be performed for 12 to 24 hours, preferably 16 to 20 hours, while maintaining the temperature and stirring slowly. At this time, if the reaction temperature is less than 50℃, the yield of lithium difluorophosphate salt may be low, and even if the reaction temperature exceeds 80℃, the yield no longer increases. Rather, unwanted impurities due to side reactions are generated and the synthesized difluorophosphate salt yield is low. Since the purity of the lithium fluorophosphate salt may be lowered, it is advantageous to carry out the reaction under the above temperature. And, the reaction time is an appropriate time for synthesizing lithium difluorophosphate salt with high yield and purity at the above temperature.

In steps 1-3, after completion of the reaction, filtration is performed using a membrane filter, etc. to obtain crystals, and then the filtering method can be used without limitation using a common method used in the industry.

In terms of dissolution, it is appropriate to use a solvent that is 5 to 30 times the weight ratio of the lithium difluorophosphate salt crystal, and preferably 5 to 15 times the weight ratio of the lithium difluorophosphate salt crystal.

In addition, it is appropriate to carry out the purification process at a temperature of 40 to 70°C, preferably 50 to 60°C while stirring, in terms of rapid dissolution of the lithium difluorophosphate salt crystals. If the temperature is too low, the purification process will be too long and , exceeding 70℃ is uneconomical.

In addition, step 2-2 is a process of filtering the solution in which the lithium difluorophosphate salt dissolved in step 2-1 is filtered using a membrane filter, etc. to obtain a filtrate from which impurities have been removed. At this time, filtration is performed by removing sugar. It can be performed using common filtration methods used in the industry.

And, steps 2-3 are a process of heat-treating the filtrate to distill off the ester-based solvent used for purification to obtain recrystallized white lithium difluorophosphate salt crystals. At this time, the heat treatment is performed by applying heat to a temperature exceeding the boiling point of the ester solvent used.

The yield of the lithium difluorophosphate salt crystals obtained by performing this purification process is somewhat lower than that of the lithium difluorophosphate salt crystals prepared through steps 1-1 to 1-3, but the purity can be improved, and is preferably It is possible to obtain lithium difluorophosphate salt crystals with a yield of 80.0 to 95.0% and a purity of 96.0 to 99.5%, preferably with a yield of 85.0 to 94.0% and a purity of 97.0 to 99.4%.
