(3), reduced in the water-washing process alkalinization of contained Li2O in the cobalt acid lithium greatly because cobalt acid lithium has coated one deck calcium carbonate particle.
The concrete execution mode of the present invention is:
1. prepare burden.The Co that the present invention uses Jinchuan to provide
3O
4, the Li that the Shehong, Sichuan is provided
2CO
3LI: Co=1.038 (molal weight ratio).
2. ball milling drying.In vertical ball mill, add Li earlier
2CO
3, add coating CaCO again
3, add Co then
3O
4Add alcohol (52% methyl alcohol+48% ethanol) at last, carry out ball milling.Material behind the ball milling directly utilizes vacuum pump to be extracted into vacuum drier to carry out drying.Wherein said ball mill is the QMJ200 vertical ball mill of Shanghai China rock instrument and equipment Co., Ltd.CaCO
3In contained calcium oxide and Co
3O
4In contained cobalt mass ratio be that 0.0064. mixture ball milling material is 150 minutes.Liquid-solid volume ratio is 5~10: 1 (alcohol and cobalt salt, lithium salts, calcium carbonate volume ratio)
The vacuumize time is 45~70 minutes, vacuum degree " 0.065Mpa
3. dried material is placed to drop in the full-automatic ejection plate kiln in 24 hours and is burnt till.Heat-treating atmosphere is an air.Push pedal speed 10mm/min.Use burning kiln to be the full-automatic pushed bat kiln of 20M.Be divided into 11 temperature.The made cobalt acid of the present invention lithium master warm area is the 6-10 warm area.Main warm area temperature 1030 degree.
4. the material after burning till carries out fragmentation, pulverizes classification.With the deionized water washing, twice firing is handled.Can obtain cobalt acid lithium of the present invention.Pulverization conditions: charging frequency 3HZ, grading wheel frequency 14HZ, pulverizer pressure 0.18Mpa.Pulverizer intensity: 5 grades (totally 9 grades).
Cobalt acid lithium mass ratio after deionized water and the pulverizing is 5: 1.
The twice firing temperature is 300 degree, 6 hours processing times.Material behind the twice firing disperses in mixer.Mixer frequency 1400HZ, jitter time high speed 5min, low speed 10min.
In sum, modification cobalt acid lithium material of the present invention has particle size distribution all to be had, and specific area is little, and processing characteristics is good, the specific capacity height of cobalt acid lithium; The jolt ramming height, the characteristic that chemical property is good.
Method of the present invention also can have been saved the consumption of washing process deionized water, in industrial production, the cobalt acid lithium that does not carry out the calcium carbonate coating is in water-washing process, the consumption of deionized water very big (volume ratio of cobalt acid lithium and deionized water is 1: 20~50). method of the present invention is because cobalt acid lithium surface has coated one deck calcium carbonate, the deionized water consumption significantly reduces (volume ratio of cobalt acid lithium and deionized water is 1: 5~10) in the water-washing process, reduce sewage emissions, showed the environmental requirement that new material utilizes.Method of the present invention is simple to operate, is suitable for the extensive use of anode material of lithium battery industry.
