What are the production processes of electrode paste?
The production of electrode paste involves five processes: raw material crushing and grinding, sieving, charge mixture, kneading, and forming to produce the final product.
Raw material crushing and grinding involve reducing large chunks of material to smaller pieces or powder, respectively.
The crushed material is then sieved to separate particles into different size ranges.
The next step is charge mixture, which involves the careful selection and proportioning of raw materials, determination of particle size distribution, optimal bonding agent ratio, and type and quantity of additives.
Kneading is the process of mixing measured amounts of carbonaceous aggregates and powders with bonding agents under
controlled conditions to form a paste. This involves three steps:
1) Dry mixing aggregates and powders
2) Adding bonding agents to form a paste
3) Allowing the paste to soak into the pores of the aggregates
The final process is forming, where the paste is shaped into a product with a specific size and density, which is the electrode paste.
