As we all know, the requirements for pure water in the preparation of electrolytes in batteries are very strict. The quality of pure water directly affects the performance and lifespan of the battery. Let's take a look at ultra-pure water equipment used in the lithium battery industry.
The pure water requirement for lithium battery industrial use stipulates that the water conductivity should be above 0.1 µS/cm (with a resistivity of over 10 megaohms). With the continuous advancement of water treatment processes in the market, ultra-pure water equipment used in the lithium battery industry employs reverse osmosis membrane technology, achieving water quality of up to 18.2 MΩ·cm and a desalination rate of approximately 99%.
The two-stage reverse osmosis water treatment process typically involves the following steps:
Raw water (tap water or groundwater) → Raw water pressurization pump → Multimedia filter → Activated carbon filter → Water softener → Precise filter → First-stage reverse osmosis → pH adjustment → Intermediate water tank → Second-stage reverse osmosis (with positively charged reverse osmosis membrane surface) → Purified water tank → Pure water pump → Micron filter → Water usage point.
Ultra-pure water for the lithium battery industry can also be produced using EDI (Electrodeionization) technology. The water production process is as follows:
Raw water (tap water or groundwater) → Raw water pressurization pump → Multimedia filter → Activated carbon filter → Water softener → Precise filter → First-stage reverse osmosis machine → Intermediate water tank → Intermediate pump → EDI system → Micron filter → Water usage point.
The ultra-pure water produced by this equipment can be used in various fields, including ultra-pure water for battery production, ultra-pure water for battery grid plates, and ultra-pure water for solar cell production.
The equipment operates in fully automatic mode and uses Dow's reverse osmosis membranes, achieving a water recovery rate of over 65%. This equipment is both cost-effective and labor-saving.
