Can lithiated nickel manganese cobalt oxide be produced by co-precipitation?

A process model has been developed and used to study the production process of a common lithium-ion cathode material, lithiated nickel manganese cobalt oxide, using the co-precipitation method. The process was simulated for a plant producing 6500 kg day−1.

How is lithium nickel manganese cobalt oxide powder produced?

Schematic of a process for the production of lithium nickel manganese cobalt oxide powder. The product stream, a slurry of solid precipitates in a solution, is phase separated, and then filtered and washed several times. The filtration may be done in a rotary vacuum filter followed by drying in a spray dryer.

What is the price spread of nickel sulfate compared to other raw materials?

The data show a price spread of more than 800% for the Li-compounds and almost 300% for cobalt during the time analyzed. During the post-pandemic recovery, nickel sulfate showed a narrower price spread compared to other raw materials.
