On February 28, the first phase of the new energy lithium-ion battery anode material project with an annual output of 300,000 tons was successfully commissioned, marking the full operation of the first production line of the project.
It is reported that the project will start construction in November 2021, with a total investment of 6.8 billion yuan, and the project will be constructed in two phases, the first phase will build a production line with an annual output of 150,000 tons of full-process anode materials, and the leading products are artificial graphite anode materials for lithium-ion batteries, which are mainly used in electric vehicles, industrial energy storage, 3C consumer electronics and other fields to provide core materials for energy batteries. The remaining production capacity of the project is expected to be completed and put into operation by the end of this year, and the annual output value of the project can reach 12 billion yuan after all the projects are put into production.
In terms of production technology and equipment, Zhongyi Group adopts advanced production technology and equipment in the anode materials, graphite electrodes, and needle coke industries. The anode material production line is equipped with more than 1,000 sets of advanced and mature equipment for drying, grinding, granulation, pre-carbonization, graphitization, post-carbonization, screening and demagnetization packaging, etc., and has unique technologies in improving battery energy density, fast charging performance, increasing cycle times and graphitization energy saving.
