  • Patent number: 11757095
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a method for preparing a transition metal lithium oxide, comprising steps of: A) mixing a lithium salt and a transition metal compound, and performing a pretreatment to obtain a precursor; wherein the pretreatment temperature is 100-300° C.; and the pretreatment time is 1-10 h; B) precalcining the precursor to obtain an intermediate; and C) continuously feeding the intermediate into a feed port of a moving bed reactor, and calcining, to obtain a transition metal lithium oxide. In the present disclosure, a pretreatment process is performed before the precalcination, and the pretreatment temperature and time are further limited, thereby solving the problem of material hardening during the calcination process of battery materials.

  • Patent number: 11643338
    Abstract: Provided is a method for producing a lithium transition metal oxide, comprising, A) mixing a lithium salt and a precursor, adding the mixture into a reactor for precalcination; the lithium salt has a particle size D50 of 10-20 ?m and the precursor has a particle size D50 of 1-20 ?m, and the precursor is one or more selected from transition metal oxyhydroxide, transition metal hydroxide and transition metal carbonate; and B) adding the product obtained from the precalcination into a fluidized bed reactor, subjecting to a first calcination and a second calcination to obtain the lithium transition metal oxide. Raw materials for the lithium transition metal oxide further includes a main-group metal compound containing oxygen, which is added in the precalcination, the first calcination or the second calcination; and the main-group metal compound containing oxygen has an average particle size of 10-100 nm. A fluidized bed reactor is also provided.
