The invention relates to a simple method for reducing the influences of
impurity elements in ferrophosphorus on LixFeyPzO4 (particularly LiFePO4, LiFe2 / 3PO4 and Li4 / 7Fe4 / 7P8 / 7O4), which comprises: reacting ferrophosphorus with a
lithium salt react in an oxidizing
atmosphere to obtain a product, leaching the product with acid and filtering the
leachate; reacting the filtrate with
phosphoric acid or a
phosphate, and filtering the reaction solution to obtain high-purity Li3PO4 and FePO4 filtrate; concentrating the high-purity Li3PO4 and FePO4 filtrate, and graduating the concentrate to obtain Li3PO4 and FePO4 intermediates in special shapes; and adding supplementary
phosphorus source,
iron source or
lithium source, mixing the supplementary
phosphorus source,
iron source or
lithium source with the intermediates to perform a reaction in a non-oxidizing
atmosphere to obtain the LixFeyPzO4. In the method, clean production is realized by the reaction design,
raw material combination and
by product utilization. In the method, a reaction process is used to remove the
impurity elements in the ferrophosphorus and graduate the Li3PO4 and FePO4, the grain
diameter and shape are easy to control, the
oxygen amount is easy to control, the ferrophosphorus can replace reducing carbon as a
reducer, the influences of the
impurity elements in the ferrophosphorus on the LixFeyPzO4, the tap density of the LixFeyPzO4 product is improved, the production process is simple, the process steps are reduced, the reaction is easy to control, the steps are combined organically, no waste liquid is discharged, requirements on equipment are low, the cost is low, the investment is small, and the benefits are good. The method is suitable to be used for producing high-performance LixFeyPO4 from the ferrophosphorus at low cost.
