2. LiHCO according to lithium bicarbonate pyrolytic chemical reaction equation 2 3 =Li 2 CO 3 +CO 2 +H 2 O is known that a large amount of carbon dioxide is generated when the reaction proceeds forward, and lithium carbonate is precipitated and crystals grow. If a large amount of crystals are precipitated and grown up instantaneously, the grain size of the crystals is not uniformEven, resulting in the inability of ultra-pure lithium carbonate to be used. The applicant thinks that lithium carbonate is uniformly precipitated to form a long crystal in a unit time by controlling the forward progress rate of the reaction. The means of controlling the forward reaction rate is to regulate the amount of carbon dioxide in the pyrolysis kettle, and the more products, the slower the forward reaction rate, and the trend of the reverse reaction is seen from the factors influencing the reaction rate. Therefore, carbon dioxide is introduced into the pyrolysis kettle, the intuitive increase of the air pressure in the kettle is shown, and the effect of controlling the forward reaction rate can be achieved by controlling the pressure in the reaction kettle to be a constant value, so that crystals are uniformly separated out and grown up, the stable and uniform granularity of the ultra-pure lithium carbonate is ensured, and the industrial requirements are met.
