  • Patent number: 11827524
    Abstract: A method for preparing a cathode active material precursor for a secondary battery, including: moving a co-precipitation filtrate generated after a co-precipitation reaction to a co-precipitation filtrate storage tank; removing a metal hydroxide by passing the co-precipitation filtrate through a filter; reacting the co-precipitation filtrate from which the metal hydroxide is removed with sulfuric acid or nitric acid to produce an ammonium sulfate or an ammonium nitrate while removing ammonia from the co-precipitation filtrate from which the metal hydroxide is removed; cooling and crystallizing the co-precipitation filtrate from which the metal hydroxide and ammonia are removed to precipitate a sodium sulfate; filtering the precipitated sodium sulfate to separate the precipitated sodium sulfate from the co-precipitation filtrate from which the metal hydroxide and ammonia are removed; drying the sodium sulfate separated from the co-precipitation filtrate and moving the co-precipitation filtrate separated from t

  • Patent number: 11623195
    Abstract: Provided are an apparatus and a method for reaction for use in a co-precipitation reaction for preparing a catalyst or a cathode active material for a lithium secondary battery, which injects a raw material (a solution) at least between impellers according to the solution level in a vessel, thereby making a stirring speed uniform and, in particular, minimizing a concentration difference between solutions. The apparatus for the reaction may comprise: a reaction vessel; a stirring means provided inside the reaction vessel and having multistage impellers; and a raw material injecting means, comprising at least one injection nozzle connected to the reaction vessel, for injecting a raw material at least between impellers.
