A process model has been developed and used to study the production process of a common lithium-ion cathode material, lithiated nickel manganese cobalt oxide, using the co-precipitation method. The process was simulated for a plant producing 6500 kg day−1.
Asian nickel cobalt manganese (NCM) battery cell prices fell to their lowest level for the first time in over three years in May, retreating significantly from the peak seen in 2022. A combination of lower critical battery raw material prices, supply glut, a sluggish demand and improving technology has kept a tight lid on NCM []
Schematic of a process for the production of lithium nickel manganese cobalt oxide powder. The product stream, a slurry of solid precipitates in a solution, is phase separated, and then filtered and washed several times. The filtration may be done in a rotary vacuum filter followed by drying in a spray dryer.
For example, the price of cobalt has fallen from roughly $70,000 per metric ton in 2022 to about $30,000 in 2024. Similarly, the price for lithium carbonate has fallen from a high of approximately $70,000 per metric ton to well below $15,000 in 2024.
