Scope

HG/T 4701-2021 is the English-translated version of 电池用磷酸铁.

HG/T 4701-2021 is the Chinese chemical industry standard for the iron phosphate later converted into lithium iron phosphate cathode material. Its quality table is backed by a full set of methods: iron by potassium dichromate titration, phosphorus by quinoline phosphomolybdate gravimetry, calcium, sodium, copper, zinc, nickel, manganese, aluminium, cobalt, lead and chromium by plasma emission spectrometry, and sulfur by high-frequency combustion with infrared absorption. Magnetic material is picked up with a magnetic bar, dissolved in aqua regia and measured the same way. Physical characteristics matter just as much, so tap density, laser-diffraction D50 and BET specific surface area are included. Batches are limited to 10 t and the powder ships in lined woven bags of 25 kg, 50 kg or 500 kg. It replaces HG/T 4701-2014, was issued on 2 December 2021 and has applied since 1 April 2022.
