Abstract

To address the high demands of global energy transition on lithium-ion battery materials and resolve the issues of high energy consumption and pollution in traditional thermal-process phosphoric acid routes,as well as the high impurity levels in wet-process phosphoric acid routes,a novel process for producing battery-grade ammonium dihydrogen phosphate(MAP) based on wet-process phosphoric acid purification was developed.Through innovative multi-stage purification technologies,including chemical precipitation-extraction-membrane separation coupling,low-temperature premixing for arsenic removal,graded utilization of thermal energy,and the combined use of DTB crystallizers and crystal destroyers,deep purification and efficient utilization of wet-process phosphoric acid were achieved.The results demonstrated that the prepared product surpassed the specifications of the(HG/T 5742—2020)“Ammonium dihydrogen phosphate for battery materials” standard,with a purity of up to 99.8%,moisture content as low as 0.02%,and sulfur compounds,fluorides,arsenic,and iron content was reduced to 36.14,3.15,1.15,and 5.23 mg/kg,respectively.Compared to thermal-process routes,the raw material cost,energy consumption cost and investment intensity were reduced by 61.3%,75.3%,40.7%,respectively and environmental treatment costs were significantly decreased.The developed process was successfully validated in a 100 000 t/a industrial-scale facility,demonstrating notable technical and economic advantages.It provided crucial technical support for the green upgrading of the wet-process phosphoric acid industry chain with broad prospects for industry-wide adoption.
