Notice Information

Notice Title

Supply of a Prototyping pilot-scale Prussian White cathode synthesis with Agitated Nutsche

Notice Description

The Nutsche filter-dryer will enable us to scale Prussian White cathode active materials synthesis for sodium-ion batteries from lab-scale to kilo-scale pilot production, improving efficiency and validating commercial feasibility.We've scaled from ~35g to ~200g, but current centrifugation is time-consuming and degrades material quality through air exposure. The Agitated Nutsche Filter-Dryer shall enable solid-liquid phase separation as well as washing and drying of powdered product under inert atmosphere or vacuum conditions.NOTE: The authority is using eTenderwales to carry out this procurement process.
