SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PREPARING HIGH-ACTIVITY SPECIFIC-VALENCE-STATE ELECTROLYTE OF ALL-VANADIUM FLOW BATTERY

摘要

Disclosed herein are a system and method for preparing a high-activity specific-valence electrolyte of an all-vanadium redox flow battery. A vanadium-containing material is reduced into a low-valence vanadium oxide with an average valence being any value in the range of 3.0-4.5 through precise control of fluidization, then water and sulfuric acid are added for dissolution, and microwave field is further adopted for activation, so as to obtain a specific-valence vanadium electrolyte. Efficient utilization of heat is achieved through heat exchange between the vanadium-containing material and reduction tail gas and heat exchange between the reduction product and fluidized nitrogen gas. An internal member and feed outlets at different heights are arranged in a reduction fluidized bed to achieve precise control over the valence state of the reduction product, and the special chemical effect of the microwave field is used to activate the vanadium ions, thereby improving the activity of the electrolyte greatly. The present method has the advantages of short process, high efficiency and good cleanliness, stable product quality, etc. and is applicable to large-scale industrial production, with good economic and social benefits.
