The invention relates to a method for preparing a low-
sulfur ternary precursor, relating to
lithium-
ion anode materials. The method for preparing the low-
sulfur ternary precursor, provided by the invention, is efficient, simple and convenient, and the
sulfur content of the ternary precursor can be reduced through controlling a
precipitation stage and an after-treatment method and is reduced to 2,000ppm so as to meet the requirements of
lithium-
ion batteries for ternary materials. The method comprises the steps of: (1) simultaneously introducing three solutions, namely ternary material liquid, a
sodium hydroxide solution and
ammonia water, into a reaction kettle, stirring, and carrying out chemical
crystallization so as to obtain a ternary precursor; (2) filtering the ternary precursor obtained in the step (1) so as to remove
mother liquor, then, conveying the ternary precursor into a
turbine-stirring alkaline cleaning tank, carrying out water-bath heating, stirring and then filtering; (3) washing a product obtained after alkaline cleaning by using a plate and frame filter until the
conductivity of the washed water is not higher than 20 us / cm; and (4) quickly
drying a washed qualified material by a
rotary kiln, and sieving to obtain the low-sulfur ternary precursor, wherein the S
impurity content of the obtained low-sulfur ternary precursor is not higher than 2,000ppm.
