Description

A porous structure red lead and its preparation method and application Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of lead-acid battery production, and in particular relates to a porous red lead and a preparation method and application thereof. Background Art

[0002] Red lead, with the chemical formula Pb3O4, is a key raw material in the manufacture of lead-acid batteries. It is widely used as the positive electrode active material in valve-regulated lead-acid batteries, traction batteries, stationary batteries, electric vehicle lead-acid batteries, and submarine batteries. It is often used as an additive in the production of battery positive plates, at a level of 5% to 20% by weight of the lead powder. Its primary function is to improve formation efficiency and reduce power consumption, particularly during the battery formation (internal formation) process. In addition to red lead, antimony trioxide and stannous sulfate are also crucial additives for the positive electrode. During the paste mixing stage, they are added in proportion to the weight of the lead powder, followed by stirring to ensure uniform addition.

[0003] The processing method of red lead is relatively mature. One typical production method is: electrolytic lead is heated and melted in a lead melting furnace to become liquid. The liquid lead flows into a powder making furnace in a closed pipe and then undergoes primary oxidation using the Barton powder production method. The powder after primary oxidation is then crushed and screened to obtain irregular lead oxide powder. The powder is transported by an auger to a granulator for granulation. After screening, spherical particles with basically similar particle sizes are obtained, with a diameter of about 0.5 to 2 mm. Finally, the powder flows into a multi-stage oxidation furnace for heating and oxidation. After cooling and testing, it is crushed and packaged to obtain red lead for production.

[0004] For example, patent application publication number CN112694119A discloses a method for preparing red lead, comprising the following steps: Step 1: desulfurizing acid-leached lead mud and performing solid-liquid separation to obtain desulfurized lead mud; Step 2: transferring the desulfurized lead mud into a solidification chamber to convert the free lead therein into lead oxide; Step 3: transferring the solidified lead mud obtained by solidification into a ball mill for high-temperature oxidation grinding to prepare red lead.

[0005] Patent application publication number CN112694118A discloses a method for preparing red lead, comprising the following steps: desulfurizing a negative electrode active material to obtain negative electrode desulfurized lead mud and a negative electrode desulfurization mother liquor; roasting the desulfurized lead mud to obtain crude lead oxide and carbon dioxide; purifying the crude lead oxide to obtain purified lead oxide; desulfurizing a positive electrode active material to obtain positive electrode desulfurized lead mud and a positive electrode desulfurization mother liquor; and mixing and roasting the purified lead oxide with the positive electrode desulfurized lead mud.

[0006] The aforementioned method for preparing red lead is simple, but the resulting red lead has no effect on the pore structure of the positive electrode's active material, resulting in limited improvement in initial capacity. Red lead powder, similar in particle size to lead powder and also irregular in shape, has no effect on the pore structure of the positive electrode's active material after addition to the positive electrode, resulting in limited improvement in initial capacity. Currently, there is a need for a red lead that can increase the active material's reaction area after formation, thereby improving the battery's initial capacity.

[0007] Summary of the Invention

[0008] Based on the deficiencies in the prior art, the present invention provides a porous red lead, a preparation method and application thereof. A porous red lead is prepared by adding hydrophilic fibers and performing multi-stage heating oxidation. The porous red lead is added to the positive electrode in the existing manner. After the formation is completed, the pore structure of the positive electrode active material can be significantly improved, especially the enrichment of micropores, thereby increasing the reaction area of ​​the active material and improving the initial capacity of the battery.

[0009] The technical solutions of the present invention are as follows:

[0010] The present invention provides a method for preparing porous red lead, comprising the following steps:

[0011] (1) melting electrolytic lead raw materials into lead liquid;

[0012] (2) pulverizing the lead liquid to obtain lead oxide powder;

[0013] (3) granulating the lead oxide powder, and adding hydrophilic fiber during the granulation process, wherein the added mass of the hydrophilic fiber is 0.08% to 0.10% of the mass of the lead oxide powder;

[0014] (4) heating and oxidizing the particles obtained after granulation in step (3), wherein the hydrophilic fibers are ashed during the heating and oxidation process, and a pore structure is formed in the particles after the hydrophilic fibers are ashed;

[0015] (5) Cooling the red lead obtained after the oxidation in step (4) and then crushing it to obtain the porous structure red lead.

[0016] Preferably, the length of the hydrophilic fiber is 1.0 to 1.5 mm, the diameter is 10 μm to 30 μm, and the thermal decomposition temperature is 325° C. to 375° C. The length is an absolute length, and the diameter is an absolute diameter.

[0017] By adding hydrophilic fibers, the spherical particles retain the pore structure left after the fibers are ashed during the oxidation phase. This structure provides a gas channel for the subsequent conversion of lead oxide within the spherical particles, reducing the powder oxidation time and improving production efficiency. The hydrophilic fibers used in the present invention include highly hydrophilic hollow polyester staple fibers, cotton-type polyester staple fibers, spunlace-type polyester staple fibers, vortex-type polyester staple fibers, and others. The embodiments of the present invention use highly hydrophilic hollow polyester staple fibers as an example, but the invention is not limited to this. These hydrophilic fibers can all achieve the effect of forming a pore structure within the particles after ashing.

[0018] On the other hand, in a preferred technical solution of the present invention, the lead oxide powder obtained in step (2) controls the free lead content by mass to be 2% to 5%.

[0019] In a preferred technical solution of the present invention, the particle size of the particles obtained by granulation in step (3) is 2.0 to 3.0 mm.

[0020] In a preferred technical solution of the present invention, during the heating and oxidation in step (4), the heating temperature for ashing the hydrophilic fiber is 460-480°C.

[0021] Specifically, during the heating oxidation in step (4), a multi-stage oxidation furnace is used, and the multi-stage oxidation furnace is divided into a first temperature zone, a second temperature zone, a third temperature zone, and a fourth temperature zone from top to bottom. The granulated particles enter from the top of the multi-stage oxidation furnace and pass through the first temperature zone, the second temperature zone, the third temperature zone, and the fourth temperature zone in sequence.

[0022] The temperature range of the first temperature zone is 105-120°C, the temperature range of the second temperature zone is 220-300°C, the temperature range of the third temperature zone is 490-500°C, and the temperature range of the fourth temperature zone is 400-420°C.

[0023] Furthermore, during the heating oxidation process, air is passed into the multi-stage oxidation furnace, wherein the air introduction rates into the first temperature zone, the second temperature zone, the third temperature zone and the fourth temperature zone are 6 L / min, 7 L / min, 12-14 L / min and 12-14 L / min respectively.

[0024] After entering the third temperature zone, in the early stage of this stage, the fibers are incinerated, and the spherical particles retain the pore structure left after the fibers are incinerated. This structure also provides a gas channel for the subsequent conversion of lead oxide inside the spherical particles. In the high-temperature stage, lead oxide is oxidized into lead tetroxide. Because of the gas channel, the spherical particles can be quickly oxidized inside, thereby improving the conversion efficiency of red lead.

[0025] Compared with the existing conventional red lead production process, the porous structure red lead prepared by this method has larger spherical particles in the granulation stage. In the multi-stage oxidation furnace, more space can be reserved for the spherical particles to come into contact with the air, and it is not easy to cause powder blockage.

[0026] The present invention also provides a porous red lead prepared by the preparation method.

[0027] The present invention also provides the use of the porous structured red lead as an additive in preparing a positive electrode plate of a lead-acid battery.

[0028] After the red lead particles are crushed, the porous structure left by the fibers will still be retained in the powder. After being added to the positive electrode, the pore structure of the positive electrode active material is effectively improved.

[0029] Beneficial effects of the present invention:

[0030] The preparation method of the present invention, by adding hydrophilic fibers, allows the spherical particles to retain the pore structure left after the fibers are ashed during the oxidation stage. This structure provides a gas channel for the subsequent lead oxide conversion within the spherical particles, reducing the powder oxidation time and improving production efficiency. The resulting porous red lead, when added to the positive electrode, effectively improves the pore structure of the positive electrode active material, particularly enriching the micropores, increasing the reactive surface area of ​​the active material and improving its utilization rate. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0031] FIG1 is an electron scanning microscope image of the porous structure red lead prepared in Example 1.

[0032] FIG2 is an electron scanning microscope image of the red lead prepared in Comparative Example 1. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0033] Example 1

[0034] A method for preparing porous red lead, comprising the following steps:

[0035] 1) One ton of electrolytic lead is fed into a lead melting furnace via a conveyor belt. Each lead bar weighs 50 kg, and there are 20 of them. The melting furnace is heated to 460°C, and the electrolytic lead is melted into liquid form.

[0036] 2) Liquid lead flows into the powder making furnace through a closed pipe. The powder making furnace needs to be preheated before it is opened to prevent the liquid lead from cooling down quickly after it flows in. The preheating temperature stops when it reaches 500°C, and the liquid lead begins to flow into the powder making furnace. Heat is generated during the oxidation process of the lead powder, so heating is not required during the powder making stage. The conveyor belt continuously feeds the lead at a speed of one 50kg lead ingot every 3 minutes;

[0037] 3) Air is introduced into the pulverizing furnace at a rate of 8 L / min. The lead liquid is subjected to high-speed centrifugal stirring and rotation (200 rpm) in the pulverizing furnace. The temperature is controlled at 480°C. Under a negative pressure environment (0.3 kPa), outside air is sucked into the furnace. The rotation of the impeller causes the lead liquid and air to fully contact each other to produce fine lead powder with an oxidation degree of 96%. The lead on the surface of the lead liquid is oxidized to lead oxide. The powder obtained after primary oxidation in the pulverizing furnace is irregular lead oxide powder.

[0038] 4) The irregular powder is crushed and then screened through a secondary cyclone separator and a bag filter to obtain lead oxide powder without obvious large lumps. The free lead content is controlled at 4%, and the powder is collected in a powder bin.

[0039] 5) The powder is transported from the powder bin to the granulator by an auger conveyor for granulation. During the granulation stage, hydrophilic fibers (highly hydrophilic hollow polyester staple fibers) are slowly added to the powder during the auger feeding process. The added ratio is 0.08% of the mass of the lead oxide powder. The highly hydrophilic hollow polyester staple fibers have a length of 1.0 to 1.5 mm, a fiber diameter of 10 μm to 30 μm, and a thermal decomposition temperature of 325°C.

[0040] 6) The granulator is turned on, and the powder and hydrophilic fiber are fully mixed during the powder feeding process. Subsequently, as the granulation is carried out, the powder and hydrophilic fiber are continuously replenished, and the mixing is completed synchronously;

[0041] 7) During the granulation process, pure water is added to the granulator through the pure water pipeline, and the water flow rate is controlled at 1L / min. The amount of water added is determined according to the granulation condition of the powder and is controlled at 5% of the mass of the lead oxide powder. The granulation diameter range is Screening is carried out simultaneously until the powder particle diameter meets the requirements;

[0042] 8) The qualified particles are heated and oxidized in a multi-stage oxidation furnace. The oxidation furnace is divided into the first temperature zone, the second temperature zone, the third temperature zone and the fourth temperature zone starting from the top feed port. After the powder passes through the first temperature zone, it is gradually squeezed into the second temperature zone, the third temperature zone and the fourth temperature zone under the gravity of the subsequent powder feed;

[0043] In the first temperature zone, the temperature is controlled within the range of 105℃~120℃, and air is introduced simultaneously at a rate of 6L / min for drying pretreatment to ensure that the powder can quickly and smoothly enter the later temperature zone;

[0044] The second temperature zone is controlled at 280-300°C, and air is introduced simultaneously at a rate of 7L / min. During this stage, the spherical particles become stronger and harder, making them less likely to break in subsequent temperature zones.

[0045] The third temperature zone is controlled at a temperature range of 490°C-500°C, and air is introduced simultaneously at a rate of 14L / min;

[0046] The fourth temperature zone is controlled within the temperature range of 400°C-420°C, and air is introduced simultaneously at a rate of 12L / min;

[0047] 9) The oxidized red lead is cooled and fed into a grinder for pulverization. The pulverized red lead powder is screened through a 200-mesh sieve. The screened finished product is transported to a storage bin through a secondary cyclone separator and a bag dust collector for testing and packaging.

[0048] 10) Products that fail the inspection and products that have spilled from packaging will be sent to the oxidation furnace for re-oxidation.

[0049] 11) Qualified porous red lead powder was tested and observed under an electron scanning microscope (5000 times). As shown in FIG1 , it can be observed that the red lead powder prepared by the method of the present invention has a porous structure.

The preheating temperature stops when it reaches 500°C, and the liquid lead begins to flow into the powder making furnace. Heat is generated during the oxidation process of the lead powder, so heating is not required during the powder making stage. The conveyor belt continuously feeds the lead at a speed of one 50kg lead ingot every 3 minutes;

[0054] 3) Air is introduced into the pulverizing furnace at a rate of 6 L / min. The lead liquid is subjected to high-speed centrifugal stirring and rotation (200 rpm) in the pulverizing furnace. The temperature is controlled at 460°C. Under a negative pressure environment (0.3 kPa), outside air is sucked into the furnace. The rotation of the impeller causes the lead liquid and air to fully contact each other to produce fine lead powder with an oxidation degree of 98%. The lead on the surface of the lead liquid is oxidized to lead oxide. The powder obtained after primary oxidation in the pulverizing furnace is irregular lead oxide powder.

[0055] 4) The irregular powder is crushed and then screened through a secondary cyclone separator and a bag filter to obtain lead oxide powder without obvious large lumps. The free lead content is controlled at 2%, and the powder is collected in a powder silo.

[0056] 5) The powder is transported from the powder bin to the granulator by an auger conveyor for granulation. During the granulation stage, hydrophilic fibers (highly hydrophilic hollow polyester staple fibers) are slowly added to the powder during the auger feeding process. The added ratio is 0.10% of the mass of the lead oxide powder. The highly hydrophilic hollow polyester staple fibers have a length of 1.0 to 1.5 mm, a fiber diameter of 10 μm to 30 μm, and a thermal decomposition temperature of 375°C.

[0057] 6) The granulator is turned on, and the powder and hydrophilic fiber are fully mixed during the powder feeding process. Subsequently, as the granulation is carried out, the powder and hydrophilic fiber are continuously replenished, and the mixing is completed synchronously;

After the powder passes through the first temperature zone, it is gradually squeezed into the second temperature zone, the third temperature zone and the fourth temperature zone under the gravity of the subsequent powder feed;

[0060] In the first temperature zone, the temperature is controlled within the range of 110℃~120℃, and air is introduced simultaneously at a speed of 6L / min for drying pretreatment to ensure that the powder can quickly and smoothly enter the later temperature zone;

[0061] The second temperature zone is controlled at 220-240°C, and air is introduced simultaneously at a rate of 7L / min. After this stage, the spherical particles become stronger and harder, making them less likely to break in subsequent temperature zones.

[0062] The third temperature zone is controlled at a temperature range of 490°C-500°C, and air is introduced simultaneously at a rate of 12L / min;

[0063] The fourth temperature zone is controlled within the temperature range of 400°C-420°C, and air is introduced simultaneously at a rate of 14L / min;

[0064] 9) The oxidized red lead is cooled and fed into a grinder for pulverization. The pulverized red lead powder is screened through a 200-mesh sieve. The screened finished product is transported to a storage bin through a secondary cyclone separator and a bag dust collector for testing and packaging.

[0065] 10) Products that fail the inspection and products that have spilled from packaging will be sent to the oxidation furnace for re-oxidation.

[0066] Comparative Example 1

[0067] The production method of the current red lead powder manufacturer was used to prepare red lead as a comparative example. The specific steps are as follows:

[0068] 1) One ton of electrolytic lead is fed into a lead melting furnace via a conveyor belt. Each lead bar weighs 50 kg, and there are 20 of them. The melting furnace is heated to 530°C, and the electrolytic lead is melted into liquid form.

[0069] 2) Liquid lead flows into the powder making furnace through a sealed pipe. The powder making furnace needs to be preheated before it is opened to prevent the liquid lead from cooling down quickly after flowing in. The preheating temperature stops when it reaches 550°C, and the liquid lead begins to flow into the powder making furnace. Heat is generated during the oxidation process of the lead powder, so heating is not required during the powder making stage. The conveyor belt continuously feeds the lead at a speed of one 50kg lead ingot every 3 minutes;

[0070] 3) Air is introduced into the pulverizing furnace at a rate of 10 L / min. The lead liquid is subjected to high-speed centrifugal stirring and rotation (200 rpm) in the pulverizing furnace. The temperature is controlled at 510°C. Under a negative pressure environment (0.3 kPa), outside air is sucked into the furnace. The rotation of the impeller causes the lead liquid and air to fully contact each other to generate fine lead powder with an oxidation degree of 97%. The lead on the surface of the lead liquid is oxidized to lead oxide. The powder obtained after primary oxidation in the pulverizing furnace is irregular lead oxide powder.

[0071] 4) The irregular powder is crushed and then screened through a secondary cyclone separator and a bag filter to obtain lead oxide powder without obvious large lumps. The free lead content is controlled at 3%, and the powder is collected in a powder bin.

[0072] 5) The granulator is turned on. During the granulation process, pure water is added to the granulator through the pure water pipe. The water flow rate is controlled at 1L / min. The amount of water added is determined according to the granulation condition of the powder and is controlled at 5% of the mass of the lead oxide powder. The granulation diameter range is Screening is carried out simultaneously until the powder particle diameter meets the requirements;

[0073] 6) The qualified particles are heated and oxidized in a multi-stage oxidation furnace. The oxidation furnace is divided into the first temperature zone, the second temperature zone, the third temperature zone and the fourth temperature zone starting from the top feed port. After the powder passes through the first temperature zone, it is gradually squeezed into the second temperature zone, the third temperature zone and the fourth temperature zone under the gravity of the subsequent powder feed;

[0074] In the first temperature zone, the temperature is controlled within the range of 110℃~120℃, and air is introduced simultaneously at a speed of 6L / min for drying pretreatment to ensure that the powder can quickly and smoothly enter the later temperature zone;

[0075] The second temperature zone is controlled at a temperature range of 300°C-320°C, and air is introduced simultaneously at a rate of 10L / min. After this stage, the spherical particles become stronger and harder, making them less likely to break in subsequent temperature zones.

[0076] The third temperature zone is controlled in the range of 500℃-510℃, and air is introduced simultaneously at a speed of 14L / min;

[0077] The fourth temperature zone is controlled within the temperature range of 400°C-420°C, and air is introduced simultaneously at a rate of 12L / min;

[0078] 7) The oxidized red lead is cooled and fed into a grinder for pulverization. The pulverized red lead powder is screened through a 200-mesh sieve. The screened finished product is transported to a storage bin through a secondary cyclone separator and a bag dust collector for testing and packaging.

[0079] 8) Products that fail the test and products that have spilled from packaging will be sent to the oxidation furnace for re-oxidation.

[0080] 9) The qualified red lead powder was observed under an electron scanning microscope (5000 times). The structural characteristics of the red lead powder can be observed from Figure 2.

[0081] Test Example 1

[0082] The powders prepared in Example 1, Example 2 and Comparative Example 1 were selected for battery experiments. Three kinds of lead pastes were prepared using a vacuum paste machine. The weight of each pot of lead powder was 950 kg, and the amount of powder added was 50 kg, totaling 1000 kg. 91.5 kg of sulfuric acid (density 1.4 g / cm 3 ), 93kg pure water.

[0083] On the basis of the above existing formula, according to the weight of 1000kg of lead powder, 5kg of antimony trioxide, 5kg of stannous sulfate and 0.7kg of short fibers were added.

[0084] The three types of positive plates were prepared by coating, curing and slicing in the conventional way. The negative plate is the corresponding plate with the same dimensions as the positive plate. In the negative plate formula, 0.2% lignin and 0.07% short fiber are added according to the mass percentage of lead powder. The lead paste is prepared by vacuum and paste. The pure water and sulfuric acid used in the paste process are added in an amount of 8.6% sulfuric acid according to the mass percentage of lead powder. The density of sulfuric acid is 1.4g / cm 3 (25℃), 9.5% pure water. After coating, curing and slicing, the negative plate preparation is completed and assembled into a 6-DZF-20 battery.

[0085] After the batteries of Examples 1 and 2 and Comparative Example 1 were assembled, they were formed using the same formation process. The specific process is as follows:

[0086] Table 1 Chemical Process

[0087] (1) Determination of the pore structure of the positive electrode

[0088] After formation, three types of batteries with similar capacities were selected and dissected separately. The positive plates were taken out and soaked in pure water until the pH value on the plate surface was neutral. They were then dried in a vacuum drying oven at 80°C. After drying and cooling, samples were taken from the middle of the plate for mercury intrusion and specific surface area analysis. The pore structure data are shown in Table 2 below:

[0089] Table 2 Analysis of the pore structure of the positive electrode plate

[0090] From the data in the above table, it can be seen that after adding the porous red lead material, the pore volume, porosity and specific surface area of ​​the positive electrode plate are significantly increased. Compared with Example 1, Example 2 has a larger amount of fiber added, so the prepared red lead material has more microporous structure, and the pore structure of the subsequent electrode plate is also correspondingly richer.

[0091] (2) Battery performance testing

[0092] The lead-acid batteries of Examples 1 to 2 and Comparative Example 1 were sampled after formation, 10 of each, and a two-hour rate capacity test was performed in accordance with GB / T 22199.1-2017 "Valve-regulated Lead-acid Batteries for Electric Powered Vehicles". Table 3 shows a comparison of the two-hour rate average capacity of the three types of batteries.

[0093] Table 3 Performance test comparison

[0094] From the data in the above table, we can see that after adding porous red lead materials, the capacity of the examples has increased significantly, and the capacity increase in the first three times is very obvious. This is mainly due to the change in the positive electrode pore structure, which improves the utilization rate of the active material.
