  • Patent number: 9550675
    Abstract: A method for removing a particulate contaminant material from a particulate mixed lithium metal phosphate material is provided. The method includes feeding the particulate mixed lithium metal phosphate material into a fluidizing stage containing particulate mixed lithium metal phosphate material of mass m, feeding the fluidized particulate mixed lithium metal phosphate material through a sifting stage, discontinuing the feed of the particulate mixed lithium metal phosphate material into the fluidizing stage after 10 to 100 times of the mass m have been fed into the fluidizing stage, fluidizing and sifting the material present in the fluidizing stage after discontinuing the feed until the mass of the material present in the fluidizing stage becomes 10% to 100% of the mass m, and removing the remaining material from the fluidizing stage.

  • Patent number: 9242864
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing lithium metal phosphates of a formula LiMPO4, wherein M is at least one type of bivalent metal, preferably selected from the first transition metal range. The inventive method consists in reacting a lithium phosphate with a metal salt and an acid phosphate source in a polar solvent for converting into a corresponding M-containing phosphate, in adding a basic lithium source for obtaining a precursor mixture for a desired lithium metal phosphate, in converting and separating the thus obtained mixture, preferably in hydrothermal conditions, in such a way that a desired final product is obtained, thereby receiving a lithium-containing filtrate. The addition of the basic lithium source initiates a lithium ion precipitation in the form of a lithium phosphate. The thus obtainable lithium phosphate can be reused in the form of a raw material, whereby said cycle enables lithium to be highly reusable.
