The invention relates to a method for continuously producing large-particle spherical
cobalt carbonate. The method comprises the following steps: manufacturing a turbid liquid containing small-particle-size
cobalt carbonate seed crystal and manufacturing a turbid liquid containing large-particle spherical
cobalt carbonate, stirring the turbid liquid containing the small-particle-size cobalt carbonate
seed crystal and the turbid liquid containing large-particle-size cobalt carbonate to form a mixed liquid, carrying out
solid-liquid separation, washing and filter pressing to obtain a
filter cake as a large-particle cobalt carbonate
filter cake,
drying the
filter cake, and repeatedly operating to obtain the large-particle cobalt carbonate
powder. According to the method disclosed by the invention, the small-particle-size cobalt carbonate
seed crystal is adopted to control the particle size of the large-particle cobalt carbonate in reaction
mother liquor, so that the degree of
sphericity of cobalt carbonate produced by
continuous production can be ensured to be high, the particle size can be stably controlled within the range of 15+ / -0.5 microns, and the consistency and the stability of the particle size of the large-particle spherical cobalt carbonate through large-scale
continuous production can be realized; the method is simple in process, easy to operate and low in cost, and can provide the high-quality
raw material for producing high-end
lithium cobalt oxide; the carbonate is used as a precipitant, so that the environment can be optimized; the production efficiency can be improved, and the wide application prospect can be achieved.
