  • Patent number: 8002209
    Abstract: A fragmentation system including a reaction vessel with processing fluid and fragmentation product and a pair of electrodes. Two respective ends of the pair of electrodes are arranged at a distance to each other inside the reaction vessel and can be admitted with pulsed high-voltage to grind the fragmentation product positioned in a reaction zone. The system also including a solid/fluid separation device, a suspension device to keep the fragmentation product continually suspended in the processing fluid, and a transfer device to transfer processing fluid and a first share of the fragmentation product out of the reaction vessel to the solid/fluid separation device. A second share of the fragmentation product returns to the reaction zone. The system includes at least one return-flow line coupled to the solid/fluid separation device and the reaction vessel to empty the processing fluid from the solid/fluid separation device into the reaction vessel.

  • Publication number: 20100028778
    Abstract: Sheet stock that is useful as a separator in batteries can be obtained by a method in which (a) the sheet stock is provided, (b) the sheet stock is cut to the required width, and, subsequently, (c) the sheet stock obtained according to step (b) is wound onto a core or tube, and, subsequently, (d) the sheet stock is cut to length on the core or tube along the axis of the core or of the tube. The sheet stock has a carrier and abrasive particles, the abrasive particles being located inside and/or on at least part of the surface of the carrier.

  • Publication number: 20080283639
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for operating an electrodynamic fragmentation system. The fragmentation product arranged in the process fluid is permanently suspended and forms a suspension with the process fluid. The portion of the processed fragmentation product which attains the target particle size or smaller is discharged from the reaction vessel and the fragmentation product exceeding the target particle size is supplied to the reaction area. The fragmentation system comprises a chargeable electric energy store, a pair of electrodes connected thereto, and both ends thereof are arranged at a distance from each other in the process fluid contained in the reaction vessel. The fragmented product is separated in a solid and liquid manner in a separator in the electrode intermediate chamber until it reaches the target particle size and is smaller than the target particle size and the prepared process fluid is guided back into the reaction vessel.

  • Publication number: 20080274394
    Abstract: The present invention relates to stacks comprising separators and electrodes stacked alternately one on top of the other and fixed, the stack having, on at least one side and/or edge of the stack, at least one adhesive bond comprising an organic adhesive, which bond adhesively bonds the electrodes and separators of the stack to one another, and a method for the production thereof and the use of these stacks in Li batteries.
