The invention discloses spherical
iron phosphate and a preparation method and application thereof. The preparation method comprises the following steps: adding a
disperser into iron-
phosphorus mixed liquor containing iron
ion and
phosphate anion, thus obtaining mixed liquor A; under a heating condition, adding
urea into the mixed liquor A to regulate a pH value, and continuously heating to obtainmixed liquor B containing
crystal-form
iron phosphate; filtering the mixed liquor B, adding a
filter cake into water to prepare mixed liquor C, atomizing the mixed liquor C by a spray gun, leading into a
roasting furnace, and
roasting at a temperature of 550 to 750 DEG C to obtain the spherical
iron phosphate. The spherical iron
phosphate is pure in crystalline phase, good in
crystallinity, spherical in shape, uniform in grain
fineness distribution and high in tap density, and can serve as a precursor for synthesizing spherical
lithium iron
phosphate with high tap density; the spherical iron phosphate can eliminate microscopic composition difference caused by different
diffusion paths in a reaction, so as to generate the
lithium iron phosphate with a uniform structure, and thus the performance of the
lithium iron phosphate is improved.
