What is Lithium Cobalt Oxide used for? Lithium Cobalt Oxide is primarily used for battery manufacturing and portable electronic devices – smartphones, tablets, etc. It is relatively non-volatile and safe. Batteries produced with LiCoO2 cathodes have very stable capacities but have lower capacities and power than those with cathodes based on Nickel-Cobalt-Aluminum Oxides. Issues with thermal stability are better for LiCoO2 cathodes than other nickel-rich chemistries, although not significantly.
Elcan, while utilizing the Hi-Sifter equipment, has successfully separated Lithium Cobalt Oxide materials at fine sizes as fine as 15 microns for several battery manufacturers. The high energy of the Hi-Sifter paired with the density of the powder leads to separations at very high rates inside of the machine at very high efficiencies and yields. The Hi-Sifter sieving equipment is built using high-quality materials and gaskets and runs in dust-free environments. Additionally, when finer sizes are required, the Elbow Jet system can separate as fine as 1 micron while simultaneously removing oversize at 15 microns.
