Problems solved by technology

However, in the process of industrial production, on the one hand, it is difficult to effectively control all reaction areas to achieve a uniform pH value through lye, which will cause the hydrolysis of ferric iron, resulting in impurities; on the other hand, the use of ammonia or other lye increases The production cost of lithium iron phosphate may introduce impurities at the same time. At the same time, due to the high cost of iron salt in the raw material, the cost of iron phosphate is relatively high

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for preparing battery-grade iron phosphate by using ferrophosphorus. According to the method, ferrophosphorus is grinded into particles with a certain particle size, and is heated and dissolved in a mixed acid solution; the mixture is filtered, such that a filtrate is obtained; the filtrate is subjected to physicochemical methods such as re-crystallization, membrane filtration, carbon absorption, complex concealment, and the like, such that impurity elements are removed; the filtrate is concentrated, and is heated to a temperature of 60-95 DEG C; iron phosphate solution induction is carried out, such that iron phosphate is prepared. Therefore, high-purity spherical battery-grade iron phosphate with micro size is obtained. With the method, prepared iron phosphate has the advantages of low impurity content, and uniform particle size distribution. The iron phosphate is suitable to be used for further preparing battery-type lithium iron phosphate.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to phosphates, in particular to a method for preparing battery-grade iron phosphate from ferrophosphorus. Background technique [0002] Lithium iron phosphate has excellent properties such as high theoretical capacity (170mAh / g), high working voltage (voltage platform of about 3.5V), good cycle performance, no memory effect, etc., and has the advantages of low price and environmental friendliness, so it has the potential to replace Higher cost LiCoO 2 It will become a new generation of lithium-ion battery cathode material, and is expected to become an important material for large energy storage batteries required by electric vehicles. [0003] The solid-state reaction method is currently widely used in the production and research of lithium iron phosphate, and iron phosphate has gradually become an important precursor for the production of lithium iron phosphate in the carbothermal reduction method. In CN 101337666A,...
