Problems solved by technology

[0009] Generally, a cathode active material precursor manufactured using a continuous reactor (CSTR) can increase the productivity of the cathode active material precursor by introducing and co-precipitating raw materials while discharging the precursor, but because the raw material introduction and product discharge are carried out simultaneously and continuously Therefore, the residence time and reaction time of the cathode active material precursor manufactured in the reactor may deviate, and therefore, the size and particle size of the manufactured cathode active material are not uniform
[0010] In addition, the cathode active material precursor manufactured using a batch reactor has uniform particle size and granularity, but its productivity is reduced compared to that manufactured using a continuous reactor (CSTR)

Embodiment 1

[0130] Embodiment 1: the manufacture of cathode active material precursor

[0131] 1. Manufacture of equipment for the manufacture of cathode active material precursors

[0132] manufacture figure 1 and figure 2 The apparatus used to fabricate cathode active material precursors shown in .

[0133] Specifically, in a reactor having a volume of 70 L, four filter-type baffles including stainless steel filters with a pore diameter of 0.1 μm were installed at constant intervals on the outer wall of the reactor. The filter contained in the filter-type baffle consists of an upper filter and a lower filter that can operate independently. The length of the filter type baffle is 65% of the total height of the reactor, and the lower filter is set at 15% to 50% of the reactor height, and the upper filter is set at 50% to 85% of the reactor height at %. In addition, an additional filter made of metal (stainless steel) having a pore diameter of 5 μm was inserted into the reactor, and ...
