Metal Tube Rotameter: Enhancing Lithium Battery Material Extraction Processes

A leading manufacturing enterprise has recently ventured into the extraction of raw materials for lithium batteries. Given the unique properties of the media involved in this process, it is imperative that the flow meter is capable of performing temperature and pressure compensation to maintain balance. Previously, the flow meters from another manufacturer used by this enterprise were unable to dynamically measure the media, leading to unstable measurement outcomes. To address this challenge, this enterprise has now adopted Sure Instrument's Variable Area Flow Meter (Meter Tube Rotameter), marking a significant step towards achieving reliable and precise flow measurements in their lithium battery raw material extraction process.

The role of flow meter in lithium battery raw material extraction process

The lithium battery raw material extraction process involves several critical steps where precise flow control is essential:

1. Preparation of Raw Material Solution from Waste Batteries:

• In the leaching workshop, it is necessary to apply electromagnetic flowmeters to finely measure sulfuric salt solutions, concentrated sulfuric acid, alkali and acid tank feeding, leaching reaction tank discharge, and slurry. These measurements are critical to form the entire reaction process and ensure the final product's quality.

2. Synthesis Process:

• The synthesis process is divided into three segments: synthesis reaction, precipitation treatment, and mother liquor treatment. Each segment involves critical components such as reaction kettles, dilute alkali intermediate tanks, pure water intermediate tanks, ammonia water intermediate tanks, and concentration intermediate tanks. Flowmeters play a vital role in each of these stages, primarily for flow process control.

Customer Feedback

After initially purchasing two units for trial, the manufacturing enterprise was extremely satisfied with the performance of Sure Instrument's Variable Area Flow Meter (Meter Tube Rotameter). They subsequently ordered an additional 40 units to be deployed across their facilities. The implementation of these flowmeters has not only improved the accuracy of their flow measurements but also enhanced the overall efficiency of their lithium battery raw material extraction process.

This case study demonstrates the importance of selecting the right flow measurement technology for critical industrial processes. Sure Instrument can always be your worthy partner for flow meter.
