The processes involved in the production of Cathode Active Materials (CAM) and manufacture of cathode electrodes for Lithium-Ion-Batteries are presented along with the applications for optimizing these work flows through improved filtration and separations. Filtration requirements for feed streams, bulk capture of intermediate product and the removal of contaminants in gas, liquid and slurry streams are covered providing guidelines for how to enhance these practices. How the removal of the contaminants benefits the processes and Lithium-Ion-Battery performance are reviewed.
