Lithium carbonate (Li₂CO₃) is one of the core raw materials in the lithium battery industry chain. It is widely used in the synthesis of cathode materials for power batteries, energy storage batteries, and consumer electronics. With the rapid growth of new energy vehicles and energy storage, the requirements for Li₂CO₃ purity, কণা আকার distribution, and dispersion are increasing. To meet the demands of advanced lithium battery materials, the জেট মিল has become an essential technology for ultrafine pulverization and শ্রেণীবিভাগ এর লিথিয়াম কার্বনেট.
Properties and Applications of Lithium Carbonate
Lithium carbonate is a white crystalline powder with high রাসায়নিক purity, good thermal stability, and reactivity. In lithium battery applications, it is mainly used for:
- Cathode material synthesis: such as LiFePO₄ (LFP) and ternary materials (NCM/NCA).
- Electrolytes and ceramics: as a precursor for certain lithium salts or as a ceramic additive.
- Optical and pharmaceutical applications: for specialty glass, ceramics, and pharmaceutical intermediates.
These applications impose strict requirements on কণা আকার: particles must be ultrafine, uniformly distributed, and free from large aggregates to ensure consistent reaction and performance. For power battery-grade lithium carbonate, D50 ≤ 5 μm with narrow distribution (PDI < 0.3) is typically required.
এর সুবিধা জেট মিলিং in Lithium Carbonate Processing
জেট মিলিং uses high-velocity gas streams to achieve ultrafine pulverization. With Venturi acceleration (0.8–1.2 MPa), particles collide with each other and are crushed. Integrated classifiers (3,000–5,000 rpm) achieve precise cut size control (±0.5 μm). Temperature is kept below 80°C to prevent loss of crystallization water.
Advantages in lithium carbonate processing include:
- High purity
- No grinding media, avoiding secondary contamination from metal wear.
- Precise particle size control
- Adjustable between 1–25 μm with narrow distribution via classifier integration.
- Low-temperature processing
- Expansion cooling prevents decomposition or agglomeration during milling.
- Excellent dispersion
- High-speed airflow deagglomerates particles, improving homogeneity in downstream synthesis.
- Automation compatibility
- Can be integrated with closed-loop systems, dust collection, and automatic packaging for large-scale production.
Typical Application Cases
- LiFePO₄ precursor synthesis: Jet-milled lithium carbonate ensures uniform particle size, enabling more complete reactions with iron and phosphate salts, improving electrochemical performance.
- Ternary precursor synthesis (NCM/NCA): Fine and uniform Li₂CO₃ enhances penetration into Ni-Co-Mn matrices, improving reaction efficiency and sintering homogeneity.
- Ceramics and optical glass: Ultrafine lithium carbonate improves glass transparency and ceramic density.
