Problems solved by technology

[0016] Lithium hexafluorophosphate has received a lot of attention, but it has not been able to form a large-scale production. The main reason is that the production technology is difficult
Overcome many unsafe factors in production, consume a large amount of reagents, and the process can corrode equipment, which puts forward high requirements for equipment anti-corrosion and production environment, and equipment investment is relatively high
Lithium hexafluorophosphate products are sensitive to moisture. It is extremely important to ensure anhydrous operation. Not only during the reaction process, but also during the product transfer process, strict sealing is required. The above factors have greatly increased the production cost of lithium hexafluorophosphate.
However, the highest yield of lithium hexafluorophosphate product in this patent application is only 98.5%, and pure phosphorus pentafluoride gas is used, which has a high cost. At the same time, the specific purity of lithium hexafluorophosphate product and how to improve the quality of lithium hexafluorophosphate product are not disclosed.
[0033] It can be seen that the traditional hydrofluoric acid solvent method to prepare lithium hexafluorophosphate is mostly an intermittent process, with low production efficiency, low purity, large amount of by-products and difficult to handle. The current improved process or device is only adjusted for a single-step reaction , the effect is limited, and it is urgent to provide a production system for lithium hexafluorophosphate to improve the purity of lithium hexafluorophosphate, improve the ease of operation, and reduce production costs
