Introduction of lithium-ion battery material granulator
The upstream mineral resources of lithium-ion batteries are mainly lithium carbonate, iron, manganese, cobalt, and nickel, among which cobalt and lithium are the most used. These resources are limited in nature and hold strategic capital value. China has relatively rich lithium reserves, second only to Chile and Argentina. In 2008, lithium carbonate production reached 93,000 tons, while demand was about 100,000 tons, with battery products accounting for approximately 28% of lithium consumption. With the gradual industrialization of power batteries, the demand for lithium carbonate is expected to surge, leading to a shortage of upstream lithium carbonate resources. In response to this growing demand, advanced manufacturing technologies, such as the battery twin screw extruder machine, play a crucial role in optimizing battery material production and improving processing efficiency.
Lithium-ion battery materials mainly include cathode materials, anode materials, isolation film, electrolyte four parts, and other aluminum platinum, copper foil, binder, and so on.
Among them, cathode materials account for about 33% of the total cost, anode materials account for a relatively low 10%, and electrolytes and the diaphragm account for about 12% and 30% of the cost, respectively.
With the rapid development of the lithium-ion battery industry, downstream capacity expansion, and resource companies’ supply pressure increasing, the trend of demand growth rate is greater than the supply growth rate and will make the upstream mineral resources link head capital value. However, due to the scarcity of mineral resources and the monopoly of the enterprise, coupled with the characteristics of this type of industry is generally, a large amount of capital into the early stage, and it is difficult for small and medium-sized enterprises to cut into it. In China’s efforts to build an environmentally friendly society, committed to the development of a low-carbon economy in the context of this link is to highlight the value of a very high head of capital. With lithium-ion battery recycling technology advantages of small and medium-sized enterprises should be actively involved in this link to share the rapid development of the industry to bring economic benefits.
