Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of lithium carbonate production equipment and relates to a lithium precipitation reaction kettle for preparing battery-grade lithium carbonate, in particular to a reaction kettle for preparing battery-grade lithium carbonate by single lithium precipitation. Background Art

[0002] In recent years, with the rapid development of power lithium batteries, especially with the expansion of the application market of battery-grade lithium carbonate, the demand for lithium carbonate has increased sharply at home and abroad. In order to meet the market demand, the process of preparing battery-grade lithium carbonate based on one-time lithium precipitation has received great attention. This process is to directly convert the lithium precipitation pre-liquid (Li 2 SO 4 ) is added to a sodium carbonate solution and mixed to produce a lithium precipitation reaction to generate a crude lithium carbonate product, which is then separated into a solid and liquid state, washed, filtered, and dried to obtain a battery-grade lithium carbonate product. The key to obtaining a battery-grade lithium carbonate product is to improve the crystallization effect of lithium carbonate and reduce the impurity content in the crude lithium carbonate product.

[0003] In response to the above problems, some researchers have proposed a lithium precipitation reactor for improving the quality of lithium carbonate. The reactor uses a spiral nozzle to atomize and feed lithium sulfate liquid, which is then stirred and mixed using a stirring blade. A baffle is used to block the liquid on the outside of the cylinder to suppress the generation of vortices, thereby making the crystallization of lithium carbonate better and more uniform. Impurities such as potassium and sodium are not easily wrapped in the lithium carbonate crystal nucleus, and the resulting lithium carbonate crystals are finer and more uniform, thereby improving the quality of lithium carbonate. However, the lithium precipitation reactor still needs to be improved in the following aspects: (1) The atomization feeding through the spiral nozzle can easily cause the feed liquid to adhere to the reactor wall, which can easily cause material pollution and loss, and cannot be recovered, thereby reducing economic benefits and being unfavorable for industrial production. At the same time, the atomization spray feeding method requires an additional booster pump, which increases equipment investment and maintenance costs. The more prominent problem is that the atomization feeding method still has the defects of slow feeding rate and low production efficiency; (2) The cross-section of the baffle plate used is an isosceles right-angle fan structure, and the right-angle side of the baffle plate points to the center line of the cylinder, which has the disadvantage of small blocking area, resulting in poor effect of suppressing the generation of eddy currents, making it difficult to form lithium carbonate with uniform grains. Furthermore, due to the uneven grains, it is also difficult to remove the potassium and sodium impurity ions contained in the grains through slurry washing, and it is difficult to obtain high-quality battery-grade lithium carbonate that meets national standards, and only industrial-grade lithium carbonate can be obtained. Lithium, at the same time, lithium carbonate is likely to adhere between the baffle and the inner wall of the cylinder, which may easily cause material loss; (3) Although a sieve plate cover with through holes is provided on the discharge port at the bottom of the lithium precipitation chamber to filter larger crystals, when these crystals are deposited in large quantities at the bottom of the lithium precipitation chamber, manual cleaning and maintenance are required, which will not only reduce the production efficiency of the reactor but also increase labor costs; (4) The reaction temperature is adjusted by steam heating, which has high requirements for the quality of high-temperature steam, and steam containing corrosive impurities will affect the heating effect and even damage the reactor. At the same time, steam heating requires special heating equipment and steam generators, which significantly increases the equipment construction cost and maintenance cost, is not conducive to industrial production, and has a limited scope of application; (5) The bottom of the lithium precipitation chamber is arc-shaped, that is, a flat-bottomed reactor. During the reaction process, some crystals will accumulate in the corners of the reactor, resulting in poor reaction effect, and some finished products will accumulate at the bottom of the reactor during unloading and cannot be discharged normally. Therefore, how to overcome the above defects and obtain a reactor with less material loss, high production efficiency, high product quality and stability for preparing battery-grade lithium carbonate with one-time lithium precipitation is of great significance to meet the market demand for high-quality lithium carbonate products.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of the utility model are:

[0017] (1) In the reactor of the utility model, the raw materials (lithium precipitation pre-liquid, sodium carbonate solution) enter the lithium precipitation chamber in the cylinder body and then undergo lithium precipitation reaction to generate lithium carbonate slurry. The slurry enters the shear pump through the slurry outlet at the bottom of the cylinder body and returns to the lithium precipitation chamber in the cylinder body through the slurry inlet. During the circulation process, the rotor and spindle in the shear pump rotate and move at a relatively high speed in the extremely narrow space of the pump body, generating strong mechanical impact force, mechanical motion force, mechanical shear force, and tangential shear force, which can crush the lithium carbonate particles, making the lithium carbonate crystals finer and more uniform, and then passing through the screen and being discharged from the lithium carbonate outlet to obtain fine lithium carbonate crystals with a particle size that meets the requirements; more importantly, through the crushing action of the shear pump, more impurity salts (such as Na + , K + 、SO 4 2- ) are exposed, that is, by reducing peritectic, it is beneficial to achieve the complete dissolution of these salts in the washing process, thereby completely removing the salt impurities in the lithium carbonate crystals, and achieving the purpose of obtaining battery-grade lithium carbonate products after one lithium precipitation and washing. Compared with the conventional lithium precipitation reactor, in the reactor of the utility model, by setting a slurry crushing mechanism, the lithium carbonate particles can be crushed, not only lithium carbonate grains with uniform particle size can be obtained, but also more salt impurities can be exposed, which is beneficial to reduce the impurity content in the lithium carbonate crystals, so that the preparation of battery-grade lithium carbonate can be achieved through one lithium precipitation, which is of great significance for meeting the market demand for high-quality lithium carbonate products.

[0018] (2) In the reactor of the utility model, by arranging a distribution pipe above the cylinder, the lithium precipitate pre-liquid can be directly added to the lithium precipitate cavity in the cylinder through the holes arranged on the distribution pipe, which can not only improve the feeding efficiency and reaction rate, but also effectively overcome the problem of liquid sticking to the wall, reduce the amount of liquid sticking to the inner wall of the cylinder, significantly reduce the loss of materials, and thus improve the utilization rate of materials and improve economic benefits. In particular, a lithium precipitate pre-liquid storage tank is arranged above the distribution pipe, and the lithium precipitate pre-liquid stored in the lithium precipitate pre-liquid storage tank is transported to the distribution pipe through the feeding pipe, thereby the holes on the distribution pipe and the gravity can be used to make the lithium precipitate pre-liquid drip into the lithium precipitate cavity in the cylinder in the form of water drops, thereby better improving the feeding efficiency and completely solving the problem of liquid sticking to the wall, and thus significantly improving the preparation efficiency of lithium precipitate once. The reactor of the utility model does not require pump pressurization, reduces equipment investment, saves investment, and is convenient for industrial application.

[0019] (3) In the reactor of the utility model, the baffle plate used is a right-angle trapezoidal plate, which has a larger baffle area, and thus has a better baffle effect on the material in the cylinder. More importantly, a number of inclined holes are opened on the baffle plate, so that better liquid flow can be achieved during operation, the stirring effect of the material is increased, which is beneficial to improve the reaction rate and thus generate lithium carbonate crystals more quickly. At the same time, by setting the inclined holes, the adhesion of the product lithium carbonate to the baffle plate can also be reduced, which is beneficial to reduce material loss.

[0020] (4) In the reactor of the utility model, heat transfer oil heating is used to maintain the reaction temperature in the cylinder. The heating speed is faster and more stable, the damage to the reactor is small, and it is beneficial to improve the life of the equipment. In particular, the heat transfer effect of the heat transfer oil is good, which is more conducive to maintaining the stability of the reaction temperature in the cylinder and has a wider range of applications.

[0021] (5) In the reactor of the utility model, the bottom of the cylinder is conical, and the conical cylinder can effectively reduce the accumulation of generated lithium carbonate crystals in the corners of the reactor, making the generated lithium carbonate finer and facilitating the unloading of finished lithium carbonate.
