The invention discloses a formula and a production technology of a
saggar for firing a
cathode material for a
lithium battery. The formula comprises a surface composite layer formula and a sagger mainbody formula, wherein the surface composite layer formula comprises the following components in percentage by
mass: 18 to 22 percent of
zircon sand with 200 meshes, 8 to 10 percent of superfine
zircon sand with 8000 meshes, 16 to 20 percent of
alumina powder with 800 meshes, 16 to 23 percent of
cordierite with 100 meshes or below and 30 percent of Suzhou kaolin with 325 meshes; the sagger main body formula comprises 8 to 12 percent of
cordierite with 8 to 16 meshes, 20 to 24 percent of
cordierite with 16 to 60 meshes, 3 to 7 percent of cordierite with 60 to 100 meshes, 1 to 5 percent of cordierite with 100 meshes or above, 9 to 12 percent of
mullite with 16 to 60 meshes, 18 to 22 percent of
alumina powder with 800 meshes, 25 percent of No.2 hand-selected Suzhou kaolin with 325 meshes and3 to 5 percent of yellow
dextrin. The formula and the production technology disclosed by the invention have the beneficial effects that firstly, in the formula of the
saggar, the
zircon sand is used to replace ZrO2, and the price of the zircon sand is relatively low, so that the production cost of the
saggar is greatly reduced; secondly, the saggar prepared by adopting the formula and the technology disclosed by the invention has a zircon sand composite layer and higher
corrosion resistance; thirdly, the economy and the high performance are perfectly unified.
