Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of battery cathode material technology, and more specifically, to a novel lithium iron phosphate calcination apparatus. Background Technology

[0002] Cathode materials are crucial to battery performance, requiring high operating voltage, high ion diffusion coefficient, high capacity, and excellent cycle stability. Among them, lithium iron phosphate with olivine structure has become one of the mainstream cathode materials for power batteries due to its good stability, high safety, and low cost. Among the many preparation methods, the technical route combining solid-state method and carbothermal reduction method has significant application advantages due to its simple process and low cost. In the current lithium iron phosphate roasting process, the main technology is to mix iron phosphate and lithium carbonate, incorporate organic carbon, and roast to form a carbon-coated shell.

[0003] However, the traditional screw feeding method has significant drawbacks. Material easily accumulates at the bottom of the screw structure, and this accumulation layer continuously compacts and hardens over time, causing severe wear on the screw blades and the inner wall of the feeding cylinder. Detached metal fragments, acting as magnetic foreign matter, mix into the material, significantly affecting the subsequent roasting and electrochemical performance of lithium iron phosphate. Furthermore, when processing high-temperature materials, the screw blades are prone to deformation due to thermal stress, further shortening the equipment's lifespan. Simultaneously, during material transfer within the kiln, insufficiently heated material may escape as dust, and the low heating time and rate prevent the material from forming an ideal crystal structure.

[0004] Therefore, a novel lithium iron phosphate roasting device is proposed to address the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this application is to provide a novel lithium iron phosphate roasting apparatus.

[0006] The novel lithium iron phosphate roasting apparatus provided in this application adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A novel lithium iron phosphate roasting apparatus includes a lithium iron phosphate kiln, a silo, and a heat exchanger.

An inner kiln is rotatably connected inside the kiln heating section, the kiln constant temperature section, and the kiln cooling section. The interior of the lithium iron phosphate kiln is provided with a drive mechanism for driving the rotation of the inner kiln. The interior of the inner kiln is provided with a material feeding mechanism to improve the heating time and rate of the material.

The gear meshes with the gear ring.

Meanwhile, during the gas flow inside the cylinder, the wind speed on the cylinder wall is reduced, dust is greatly reduced, and the probability of insufficiently heated material escaping in the form of dust is reduced.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the heat dissipation nails stir and exchange heat with the material during the rotation of the inner kiln, and more frequently turn the material, further enhancing the mixing degree and consistency of the material. With the help of the rotation of the inner kiln, cooling water is sprayed out from the nozzle through the water pipe. When the heat dissipation nails are in the upper part, the cooling water flows into the cooling tank and when they are in the lower part, it is automatically discharged from the cooling tank by gravity, forming a self-circulating cooling mechanism. While strengthening the stirring and mixing and improving the uniformity of the material, it greatly increases the heat dissipation area and improves the cooling efficiency.

[0020] The technical effects and advantages of this application are as follows:

[0021] Compared with existing technologies, this new lithium iron phosphate roasting device uses a piston pusher to transport materials in an integral propulsion manner, which greatly reduces friction and wear between the material and the propulsion components and cylinder wall. It also has better pressure resistance and high temperature resistance. The nitrogen gas required to drive the piston can be recovered to the upstream silo through the second nitrogen connection pipe after the feeding is completed, and reused as a protective atmosphere. This not only reduces nitrogen consumption, but also realizes the recycling of resources.

[0022] Compared with existing technologies, this novel lithium iron phosphate roasting device, through its feeding mechanism and the intermittent feeding plate design inside the kiln, ensures that the material moves forward in a spiral pulsating manner while increasing the material contact area.

[0063] The effect of titanium doping on lithium iron phosphate materials was investigated. As the Ti doping concentration increased from Ti-0 to Ti-3, the specific surface area of ​​the material continuously increased, indicating that Ti... 4 The addition of ⁺ effectively refined the grains, but excessively fine particles also increased the interfacial contact resistance, leading to a simultaneous increase in powder resistivity. Regarding compaction density, the change showed a trend of first increasing and then decreasing, reaching a peak of 2.51 g·cm⁻³ in the Ti-2 sample. This is due to the optimized particle size distribution resulting from appropriate doping, while excessive doping (Ti-3) caused particle agglomeration due to excessively fine particles, thus disrupting the packing effect. The electrochemical performance closely matched the aforementioned physicochemical properties: the Ti-2 sample exhibited the highest discharge specific capacity (160.9 mA·h·g⁻¹) at 0.1C, while showing the smallest capacity decrease at a high rate of 2.0C (only 11.37%), demonstrating optimal overall performance. Conversely, the Ti-3 sample suffered from significant lattice distortion and excessively high resistivity due to excessive doping, resulting in severely deteriorated electrochemical performance. In summary, when n(Fe):n(Ti) is approximately 1:0.019 (corresponding to the Ti-2 sample), the material achieves the optimal balance between compaction density and electrochemical performance.

[0064] The working process of this application is as follows: The material is added into the feed hopper 17 through the feed port 19, and then fed into the feeder 13 through the feed hopper 17. The feeder 13 feeds the material into one end of the lithium iron phosphate kiln 1. The piston pushing device 14 is started, so that the material is transported in an overall pushing manner, which greatly reduces the friction and wear between the material and the pushing parts and the cylinder wall, and at the same time has better pressure resistance and high temperature resistance. The nitrogen required to push the piston can be recovered to the upstream feed hopper 17 through the second nitrogen connection pipe 18 after the feeding is completed, and reused as a protective atmosphere. This not only reduces nitrogen consumption, but also realizes the recycling of resources. The start of the drive motor 601 can drive the gear 603 to rotate through the connecting rod 602, so that the gear 603 can drive the inner kiln 5 to rotate through the gear ring 604. The intermittent lifting plate 903 inside the inner kiln 5 ensures that the material moves forward in a spiral pulsating manner while increasing the material contact area. In this coupled process of movement and heating, the residence time of the material in the inner kiln 5 can be increased, ensuring the heating time and rate of the material. The intermittent guide plate 902 with a spiral ribbon enhances the structural stability of the high-temperature cylindrical kiln and the mixing of materials, effectively improving heat transfer efficiency. Simultaneously, it reduces the wind speed on the kiln wall during gas flow, significantly reducing dust and lowering the probability of insufficiently heated materials escaping as dust. After heating, the material is fed into the kiln cooling section 4. The heat dissipation nails 1201, through the rotating inner kiln 5, stir and exchange heat with the material, more frequently turning it over, further enhancing the mixing degree and consistency. With the rotation of the inner kiln 5, cooling water is sprayed from the nozzles 1204 through the water pipes 1203. When the heat dissipation nails are at the top, the cooling water flows into the cooling tank 1202; when at the bottom, it is automatically discharged from the cooling tank 1202 by gravity, forming a self-circulating cooling mechanism. This strengthens mixing and improves material uniformity while significantly increasing the heat dissipation area and improving cooling efficiency. After cooling, the material is discharged through the discharge box 33 for subsequent use. This is the working principle of this new lithium iron phosphate roasting device.
