The invention belongs to the field of
lithium ion battery material preparation, and provides a preparation method of low-
impurity battery grade
iron phosphate, which comprises the following steps: dissolving
titanium dioxide
ferrous sulfate in water to obtain a solution A, adjusting the pH value of the solution A to 3.0-4.0, reacting, and carrying out
solid-liquid separation to obtain a
clear liquid; adjusting the pH value of the
clear liquid, and then mixing the
clear liquid with
sodium nitrite to obtain a solution B; adding the solution B into a reaction kettle, introducing compressed
oxygen until the pressure in the kettle body is 5-15 bar, reacting until the pressure in the kettle body is reduced to a constant value, and carrying out
solid-liquid separation to obtain a purified
iron source solution; preparing
iron phosphate dihydrate by taking the purified
iron source solution and a
phosphorus source as raw materials through a
precipitation method; and calcining the
iron phosphate dihydrate to obtain the low-
impurity battery-grade iron
phosphate. The preparation method is simple and feasible in process, low in cost, wide in source of required raw materials, good in safety, low in cost, easy to realize large-scale production, good in
impurity removal effect and low in iron loss, and the Mn content of the battery-grade iron
phosphate prepared from the impurity-removed
ferrous sulfate can be as low as 10 ppm or below.
