Problems solved by technology

This method has a long process and needs to increase the consumption of carbonate or bicarbonate, and the drying conditions are harsh, which is not conducive to industrial production.
[0007] Although the morphology of cobalt hydroxide can be improved to a certain extent by controlling crystallization through complexation, most of them are flake or irregular block particles, and spherical cobalt hydroxide is rarely reported.
And the addition of complexing agents will also bring some negative effects, such as ammonia water or ammonium salt complexing agents will introduce ammonia nitrogen wastewater problems, which will increase the cost of wastewater treatment; other complexing agents sodium tartrate, disodium edetate, citric acid etc. Due to the strong complexation, the precipitation of some metal cobalt complex ions is not complete, resulting in the loss of cobalt

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for preparing a spherical cobalt hydroxide in the absence of a complexing agent. Though the shape of the cobalt hydroxide can be improved to a certain degree by complexing to control crystallization, the cobalt hydroxide is mostly particles in sheet shape or irregular block shape, and the addition of a complexing agent can cause negative effects. The technical scheme adopted by the invention comprises the following steps of: taking pure water as a base solution; adding a cobalt solution and a sodium hydroxide solution into the base solution with stirring at the same time to cause a precipitation reaction, wherein the pH value of the solution is kept between 5 and 7 in the process of adding the cobalt solution and the sodium hydroxide and is kept between 10.5 and 13.5 in the end of the process; adding an antioxidant into the solution to prevent the solution from being oxidized; and obtaining the cobalt hydroxide product after washing and drying the cobalt hydroxide slurry. The method adopts a forward feeding mode in the absence of complexing agent to form pink spherical cobalt hydroxide powder with very good crystallinity. The spherical cobalt hydroxide powder is easily filtered and washed, and the reaction condition is simple and easy to control. Therefore, the method is suitable for industrial mass production.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a preparation method of spherical cobalt hydroxide. Background technique [0002] Due to the excellent fluidity of spherical cobalt hydroxide particles and high bulk density, at the same time, because spherical particles have the lowest porosity and relatively small sliding friction coefficient, they have excellent expansion and ductility.
