  • FURNACE ATMOSPHERE CONTROL FOR LITHIUM-ION BATTERY CATHODE MATERIAL PRODUCTION
    Publication number: 20230378427
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for controlling the atmosphere of a multizone calcination (firing) furnace for production of high-quality nickel-rich cathode material for lithium-ion and solid-state batteries. A high-quality oxygen-rich atmosphere is maintained to ensure the quality of the cathode material. An atmosphere control system continuously measures and analyzes the composition of the calcination furnace atmosphere in different zones and adjusts the flowrate of oxygen-rich atmosphere into the furnace to optimize the calcination process.
    Type: Application
    Filed: August 7, 2023
    Publication date: November 23, 2023
    Applicant: Air Products and Chemicals, Inc.
    Inventors: Jingjing Cai, Paulina Weronika Kus, Liang He, Guido Plicht, David Millington
