In the wet method, a hydrous salt (LiBF 4 .H 2 O) is generated by a reaction between borofluoric acid and lithium carbonate. Since heating at about 200 ° C. is required to dehydrate the hydrated salt, decomposition of lithium tetrafluoroborate (Li
BF 4 → LiF + BF 3 ) occurs, not only lowering the purity, but also leaving residual moisture, which cannot be used for lithium batteries. In the ether method, an anhydrous salt is obtained by the reaction of lithium fluoride with a complex compound of boron trifluoride and methyl ether or ethyl ether.Since lithium tetrafluoroborate is hardly soluble in ether,
It is difficult to obtain products that satisfy the quality for lithium batteries,
It also has disadvantages such as the use of dangerous ethers.

A method for producing lithium tetrafluoroborate, comprising separating lithium tetrafluoroborate from a solution, further comprising adding a cyclic carbonate to the lithium battery electrolyte or the solution to form a chain.

して残ることがないために反応は完全に進行する。Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail. In the production method of the present invention, the reaction for producing lithium tetrafluoroborate is carried out in a chain carbonate. Since the solubility of the raw material lithium fluoride in these solvents is very small, boron trifluoride gas is blown in a state of being dispersed in the solvent to carry out the reaction. Here, since the produced lithium tetrafluoroborate has a very high solubility, it is dissolved in a solvent and does not remain as a film on the surface of lithium fluoride, so that the reaction proceeds completely.

Ethyl methyl carbonate is preferred.

A range of 0 ° C. is preferred, and a range of 0 to 60 ° C. is optimal. When the reaction temperature is lower than −40 ° C., the reaction does not proceed because the solvent coagulates.
A reaction between the solvent and boron trifluoride occurs, which is not preferable because it causes coloring and an increase in viscosity.

If the amount of lithium fluoride is more than 200 g with respect to the solvent, the product becomes saturated, a film is formed on the surface of lithium fluoride, and unreacted lithium fluoride remains,
Further, since the viscosity of the solvent increases, separation operations such as filtration become difficult.

Lithium tetrafluoroborate is obtained as high-purity crystals, and the solvent solution obtained by the reaction is used as it is or as an electrolyte for lithium batteries by mixing ethylene carbonate, propylene carbonate, γ-butyrolactone, etc. it can. However, ethylene carbonate, propylene carbonate, and γ-butyrolactone may be used alone as a nonaqueous solvent for a lithium battery. In such a case, if the above reaction is performed in these cyclic carbonates, trifluoride Decomposition, polymerization and the like are caused by boron, which is not preferable. Therefore, in the present invention, a cyclic carbonate which is an organic non-aqueous solvent for a lithium battery is added to the solvent obtained by the reaction in the stable chain carbonate as described above, and the above-mentioned chain chain is added. By distilling and removing the carbonate, an electrolyte for a lithium battery is produced. In the present invention, the cyclic carbonate to be added is ethylene carbonate, propylene carbonate,

The boiling point of the chain carbonate used in the reaction must be lower than the boiling point of the cyclic carbonate to be added. Further, in consideration of problems such as deterioration of the solvent, it is preferable to perform distillation at the time of substitution under reduced pressure to lower the distillation temperature. In this way, the chain carbonate is removed, replaced with a cyclic carbonate, and then adjusted to a predetermined concentration to obtain a lithium battery electrolyte containing lithium tetrafluoroborate.
