TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of crystallization kettle, concretely relates to a high -efficient crystallization kettle for lithium hexafluorophosphate production. BACKGROUND
[0002] As the core component of lithium ion battery, lithium hexafluorophosphate is widely used in power, energy storage and various batteries for daily use. Its electrical performance is excellent, and it is the most outstanding and widely used one in the current lithium ion battery electrolyte. Industrial preparation generally obtains lithium hexafluorophosphate solution by the reaction of phosphorus pentafluoride and lithium fluoride dissolved in anhydrous hydrofluoric acid solution, and then crystallizes lithium hexafluorophosphate from the lithium hexafluorophosphate solution.
[0003] Lithium hexafluorophosphate crystallization is mainly through static crystallization and dynamic crystallization. Although static crystallization is easy to realize, the crystallization period is long, and the repeated growth of crystal nucleus makes it difficult to handle the hydrogen fluoride in the crystal through purification process. In addition to static crystallization, dynamic crystallization equipment using traditional blade stirring and water cooling to precipitate crystals is gradually replacing static crystallization and is widely used. However, the mixing effect of the mechanical stirring method on the raw materials is poor, which is not conducive to the growth of lithium hexafluorophosphate crystals and reduces the lithium hexafluorophosphate crystallization efficiency. Moreover, lithium hexafluorophosphate crystals are easy to grow on the tank wall, which is not conducive to the discharge of lithium hexafluorophosphate crystals. Therefore, an ultrasonic transducer connected to an ultrasonic generator is arranged to help improve the crystallization efficiency and rate of lithium hexafluorophosphate. However, the ultrasonic transducer is generally installed on the side wall of the crystallization kettle. High-frequency vibration can easily affect the sealing performance of the crystallization kettle and the performance of the stirring equipment installed on the crystallization kettle, and the vibration energy is also wasted, causing energy waste.
[0004] Therefore, the design of a connecting piece arranged at intervals and in the shape of a circular truncated cone for installing an ultrasonic transducer to assist crystallization ensures that the crystallization efficiency and rate of lithium hexafluorophosphate are improved, the sealing performance of the kettle body and the performance of the stirring equipment are not adversely affected, and the high-efficiency crystallization kettle for lithium hexafluorophosphate production, which can obtain high-quality, crystal-structured battery-grade lithium hexafluorophosphate crystal product through the cooperation of the connecting piece and the double-layer sleeve to promote the production of lithium hexafluorophosphate, is the research purpose of the utility model.
