摘要
A modelling framework is proposed to simulate the co-precipitation of Ni-Mn-Co hydroxide as precursor of cathode material for lithium-ion batteries. It integrates a population balance equation with computational fluid dynamics to describe the evolution of the particle size in (particularly continuous) co-precipitation processes. The population balance equation is solved by employing the quadrature method of moments. In addition, a multi-environment micromixing model is employed to consider the potential effect of molecular mixing on the fast co-precipitation reaction. The modelling framework is used to investigate the co-precipitation of Ni0.8Mn0.1Co0.1(OH)(2) in a multi-inlet vortex micromixer, as a suitable candidate for the study of fast co-precipitation processes in continuous mode. Finally, the simulation results are discussed, and the role of the different phenomena involved in the formation and evolution of particles is identified by inspecting the predicted trends.
