Problems solved by technology

For example, the patent with the publication number CN102403500A discloses "a method for preparing lithium iron phosphate material in a static mixing tubular reactor": due to the use of static calcination, because of the accumulation of materials during the sintering process, it is easy to cause sandwiches, and the surface and inner layers are heated Unequal phenomenon, the oxidizing gas produced cannot be discharged in time, it is easy to oxidize the material at the dead corner of the furnace body, and the reaction time is long, the temperature rises slowly, and the product uniformity is low; and because it is sintered under an inert atmosphere, due to There are differences in gas purity and batches, which increase many uncontrollable factors
For example, the patent with the publication number CN1948134 discloses "a method for synthesizing lithium iron phosphate by vacuum carbothermal reduction method": the vacuum static sintering method is adopted, no inert gas is required, and the oxidizing gas produced can be extracted in time, but the furnace body is in a vacuum In the static sintering process, the heat conduction method is radiation heat transfer, and the heat transfer efficiency is low, which is more likely to cause uneven heating inside and outside the piled material. The temperature must be raised slowly to ensure temperature uniformity, and the cooling speed is slow and the amount of feed is small, resulting in low work efficiency
The patent with the publication number CN101186289A discloses "a process method for producing lithium iron phosphate material in a vacuum rotary kiln", which adopts a vacuum dynamic sintering method, and the material is turned by the rotation of the furnace body to improve the problem of uneven heating, and The sintering process operates under a certain vacuum state, but it adopts the method of continuous feeding and discharging, so it is impossible to maintain a high vacuum in the kiln body, and the vacuum degree in the kiln body can only be controlled at 10 -2 MPa, the oxidizing gas generated during the sintering process still cannot be discharged in time, which may easily cause some materials to be oxidized; and due to the poor sealing of the continuous rotary kiln, the air pressure in the kiln is lower than the outside world, which easily makes the outside air enter the kiln to oxidize the materials; The material is continuously fed in and out, and the furnace body is in a spiral pattern, and the material is easy to accumulate, resulting in a sintering dead angle. In the actual application process, the residence time of the material in the furnace body is inconsistent, thereby reducing the uniformity of the material.
