Problems solved by technology

Lithium hexafluorophosphate is generally prepared from anhydrous hydrogen fluoride, phosphorus pentoxide and lithium fluoride. The finished product inevitably contains hydrogen fluoride impurities. In addition, lithium hexafluorophosphate is easy to absorb water and undergo hydrolysis reaction, decomposing into insoluble lithium oxyfluorophosphate compounds, and these Impurities in the use of lithium-ion batteries will reduce the performance of lithium-ion batteries, so how to obtain high-purity lithium hexafluorophosphate with high purity, low free acid and low moisture is an urgent problem to be solved at present
[0003] Chinese patent (publication number CN 1850593A) discloses a method for purifying lithium hexafluorophosphate. After the mixed gas of phosphorus pentafluoride and hydrogen fluoride is purified, it is passed into the drying equipment of lithium hexafluorophosphate, so that the fluorine entrained in phosphorus pentafluoride and lithium hexafluorophosphate in the preparation process Lithium oxide and lithium oxyfluoride LiPO x f y React and convert into lithium hexafluorophosphate, so that lithium hexafluorophosphate can be purified, but this method cannot reduce the acid and metal impurities contained in the lithium hexafluorophosphate crystal or attached to the surface
This method requires repeated crystallization to remove inorganic and organic impurities in lithium hexafluorophosphate, and there is no purification of hydrogen fluoride impurities remaining in lithium hexafluorophosphate

Abstract

The invention relates to a lithium hexafluorophosphate purification method, and belongs to the technical field of a lithium ion battery. The lithium hexafluorophosphate purification method comprises the following steps that (1) under the protection atmosphere, an organic solvent is added into lithium hexafluorophosphate to be purified for dissolution; filtering is performed to obtain filter liquid; (2) silazane is added into the filter liquid for performing deacidification reaction; crystallization is performed to obtain crystals; drying is performed; the finished product is obtained. The purification method disclosed by the invention has the advantages that an ether solvent, a carbonic ester type solvent or acetonitrile is used as the organic solvent for purifying the lithium hexafluorophosphate crude products; insoluble substances in the lithium hexafluorophosphate are removed; then, the silazane is added to act with HF acid remained in the lithium hexafluorophosphate crude products for removing free acid; metal impurities are removed through the recrystallization process. The lithium hexafluorophosphate purification method has the advantages that the lithium hexafluorophosphate with poor quality is treated; acid and metal impurities attached at the surface or blended inside the lithium hexafluorophosphate crystals can be effectively removed; the insoluble substance content is reduced; the quality of the lithium hexafluorophosphate product is improved.
