Description
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of graphite purification, and particularly relates to a method for purifying high-purity graphite by fluorine-free and nitrate-free alkali melt acid leaching.
Background
Graphite is an allotrope of carbon, is a gray black opaque solid, has stable chemical property, is corrosion-resistant, and is not easy to react with agents such as acid, alkali and the like. In the prior art, graphite can be used for producing refractory materials, conductive materials, wear-resistant materials, lubricants, high-temperature-resistant sealing materials, corrosion-resistant materials, heat insulation materials, adsorption materials, friction materials, radiation-proof materials and the like, and the materials are widely applied to metallurgy, petrochemical industry, mechanical industry, electronic industry, nuclear industry, national defense and the like. However, in fields including high-end equipment manufacturing, new energy, new materials, nuclear power, aerospace, military industry and the like, high-purity graphite with a fixed carbon content of 99.95% or more is required, and becomes a key raw material of the emerging industry. Therefore, the purification preparation of high purity graphite is one of the research hotspots in the field.
The graphite purification is a complex physical and chemical process, and the purification methods in the prior art mainly comprise a flotation method, a hydrofluoric acid method, a chloridizing roasting method, a high-temperature method and an alkali acid method.
Flotation method: the method has the greatest advantages that the energy consumption and the reagent consumption are the least in all purification schemes, and the cost is the lowest, but silicate minerals and compounds of elements such as potassium, calcium, sodium, magnesium, aluminum and the like which are mixed in graphite flakes in a superfine state cannot be dissociated by a grinding method, and the method is unfavorable for protecting the graphite flakes. Thus, flotation is the primary means of graphite purification, and other methods must be used to obtain high carbon graphite with carbon content above 99%.
Hydrofluoric acid method: the main process is that graphite and hydrofluoric acid are mixed, the hydrofluoric acid reacts with impurities for a period of time to generate soluble substances or volatile matters, the impurities are removed by washing, and the purified graphite is obtained after dehydration and drying. The hydrofluoric acid method for purifying graphite has the advantages of simple process flow, high product grade, relatively low cost and small influence on the performance of graphite products. However, hydrofluoric acid is extremely toxic, and has to have safety protection measures in the use process, and the generated wastewater can be discharged outwards after being treated, otherwise, the environment is seriously polluted.
Chloridizing roasting method: mixing graphite and a certain reducing agent, roasting at high temperature in specific equipment and atmosphere, and converting valuable metals in the materials into gas phase or condensed phase metal chlorides which are separated from the rest components, so that the graphite is purified. Impurities in graphite can be decomposed into oxides with higher melting point under the high temperature condition, such as SiO 2 、Al 2 O 3 、Fe 2 O 3 CaO, mgO. After chlorine is introduced into the oxides at a certain temperature and in an atmosphere, the metal oxides react with the chlorine to generate chlorides with lower melting points, so that the chlorides can be gasified and escaped at a lower temperature to realize separation from graphite, and the graphite is purified. The chloridizing roasting method has the advantages of energy saving and high purification efficiency>98 percent) and high recovery rate, but also has the problems of chlorine toxicity, serious corrosiveness, serious environmental pollution and the like.
High-temperature purification method: the melting point of graphite is 3850+/-50 ℃, is one of substances with the highest melting boiling point in nature, and is far higher than the boiling point of impurity silicate. And (3) placing graphite into a graphitized graphite crucible by utilizing the difference of melting boiling points of the graphite, and heating to 2700 ℃ by utilizing specific instrument equipment under a certain atmosphere to gasify impurities and escape from the graphite so as to achieve the effect of purification. The technology can purify graphite to more than 99.995%. The quality of the graphite product purified by the high-temperature method is high, which is the biggest characteristic of the high-temperature method, but the method has high energy consumption and extremely high equipment requirement, and only the graphite applied to the high-tech fields of national defense, aerospace, nuclear industry and the like is purified by the method.
Alkali acid method: comprises two reaction processes: an alkali fusion process and an acid leaching process; the alkali fusion process is to utilize alkali in a fusion state and acidic impurities in graphite to carry out chemical reaction under a high temperature condition, especially silicon-containing impurities (such as silicate, aluminosilicate, quartz and the like) to generate soluble salt, and then to wash and remove the impurities, so that the purity of the graphite is improved; the basic principle of the acid leaching process is that acid is utilized to react with metal oxide impurities, the impurities do not react with alkali in the alkali melting process, so that the metal oxide is converted into soluble salt, then the soluble salt is separated from graphite by washing, and the graphite purification effect is better through the combination of alkali melting and acid leaching. The alkali acid method is limited by the fatal problems of difficult removal of colloidal substances such as sodium silicate, silicic acid and the like, poor product quality, instability and the like in the alkali melting and alkali dissolution processes, and has not been widely applied, so how to further promote the method is one of the research and development directions of the technicians in the field. For example, chinese patent application CN114212788A discloses a graphite purification process and graphite, and the purification process of the method adopts an alkaline acid method purification process to obtain a high purity graphite product meeting the requirements, but the method comprises two-stage acid treatment, one-stage alkali treatment and three-stage cleaning, and has the advantages of longer process flow, and larger acid-alkali consumption and water washing consumption. The Chinese patent application CN103449425A discloses a method for preparing high-purity graphite by purifying high-carbon natural crystalline flake graphite by an alkali acid-complexing method, which is based on an alkali acid method purification process comprising alkali fusion, aqua regia dissolution, alkali dissolution, synergistic complexing and other processes, and a high-purity graphite product meeting the requirements is obtained, but the process is multiple, the flow is long, the acid-base consumption and the washing water consumption are high, and nitric acid is contained. The Chinese patent application CN115490230A discloses a graphite high-efficiency alkali acid method purification system and process, which comprises a raw material mixing unit, a graphite alkali melting unit and a chemical purification-washing-dehydration unit which are sequentially connected, so that the problem of high-efficiency continuous production in the purification process of the graphite alkali acid method is solved; however, the method can obtain the high-purity graphite with the fixed carbon content of 99.95 percent only by carrying out water-washing desilication, acid-leaching purification and water-washing impurity removal reaction for a plurality of times, and has the advantages of longer process flow and higher cost.
Therefore, a purification method of high-purity graphite is developed to avoid generating fluorine and nitrate impurities, greatly reduce acid-base consumption and water consumption, save cost and obviously have positive practical significance.

Example 1
Referring to fig. 1, a method for purifying high purity graphite comprises the following steps: weighing 100g of high-carbon flake graphite with a fixed carbon content of 95.46% and a D50 of 100 microns, mixing a proper amount of water and 25g of NaOH, uniformly stirring, drying, and then placing in a muffle furnace for high-temperature alkali melting, wherein the alkali melting temperature is 750 ℃ and the alkali melting time is 1h;
cooling along with a furnace, scattering, performing ultrasonic-heating coupling washing after the alkali melting is completed, and collecting a solid product I;
preparing a strong acid solution with the mass concentration of 20% by taking 30g of concentrated hydrochloric acid, and placing a solid product I in the strong acid solution for ultrasonic-heating coupling acid leaching;
washing in a mechanical stirring device with the stirring speed of 2000r/min after acid leaching is finished, filtering and drying after washing water is neutral, and obtaining the high-purity crystalline flake graphite with the fixed carbon content of 99.961%.
The steps of the ultrasonic-heating coupling washing are as follows: (a) Adding clear water, and pulping the scattered alkali fusion product until the concentration is 20wt%; (b) heating the slurry to 80 ℃; (c) Placing the slurry with constant temperature of 80 ℃ into an ultrasonic diffusion sound field with the frequency of 20kHz and the intensity of 360W for washing for 30min; (d) Filtering the slurry subjected to ultrasonic washing to obtain a solid product; (e) Washing the solid product in step (d) to neutrality of washing water, and collecting the solid product I.
Referring to fig. 2, the steps of the ultrasonic-heating coupled acid leaching are as follows: (i) Adding a proper amount of water into the alkali fusion product to prepare uniformly dispersed slurry; (ii) Placing the beaker with the uniformly dispersed slurry in a water bath kettle 1, heating to 60 ℃, and keeping the temperature constant in the subsequent ultrasonic washing process; (iii) Placing the ultrasonic probe 2 at a position about 1cm below the surface of the slurry liquid, and fixing the ultrasonic transducer 3; (iv) The ultrasonic intensity (ultrasonic frequency was 20kHz, ultrasonic intensity was 180W) and the washing time (4 h) were set, and the ultrasonic regulator 4 was turned on to perform ultrasonic washing.
Comparative example 1
This comparative example is substantially the same as example 1, with the only difference that: the alkali fusion product is not washed by ultrasonic-heating coupling, but is washed to be neutral by clean water. Finally, the crystalline flake graphite with the fixed carbon content of 99.811 percent is obtained.
Comparative example 2
This comparative example is substantially the same as example 1, with the only difference that: the solid product I is not subjected to ultrasonic-heating coupling acid leaching, but is subjected to acid leaching for 4 hours in a standing state. Finally, the crystalline flake graphite with the fixed carbon content of 99.907 percent is obtained.
Comparative example 3
This comparative example is substantially the same as example 1, with the only difference that: after the acid leaching is finished, the washing is not carried out by mechanical stirring, but clear water is washed until the washing water is neutral. Finally, the crystalline flake graphite with the fixed carbon content of 99.953 percent is obtained.
The purified products prepared in example 1 and comparative examples 1, 2 and 3 were subjected to a fixed carbon content test, and the acid, base and water consumption during the purification of examples and comparative examples were counted, and the results are shown in table 1.
TABLE 1
Example 1 | Comparative example 1 | Comparative example 2 | Comparative example 3 | |
Fixed carbon content (%) | 99.981 | 99.811 | 99.907 | 99.953 |
NaOH consumption (kg/t) | 250 | 250 | 250 | 250 |
HCl consumption (kg/t) | 300 | 300 | 300 | 300 |
Consumption of water (m) 3 /t) | 18 | 35 | 25 | 22 |
As can be seen from Table 1, the fixed carbon content of the graphite product obtained by the purification of example 1 exceeds 99.95%, reaching 99.961%; the fixed carbon content of the purified graphite products prepared in comparative example 1 and comparative example 2 does not reach the high-purity graphite standard of 99.95%; the purified graphite product prepared in comparative example 3 (without mechanical agitation washing after acid leaching) had a fixed carbon content exceeding 99.95%, but had a greatly increased water consumption and a slightly reduced fixed carbon content.
The alkali fusion product of the comparative example 1 is not subjected to ultrasonic-heating coupling washing, so that the water consumption is obviously increased, and the fixed carbon content of the product is obviously reduced. The solid product I of comparative example 2 was not subjected to ultrasonic-heating coupled acid leaching, the water consumption was increased, and the fixed carbon content of the product was reduced.
It follows that ultrasonic-heating coupled washing and ultrasonic-heating coupled pickling of the alkali fusion product are key processes to ensure low water consumption and high fixed carbon content.

The purification method of the high-purity graphite comprises the following steps: weighing 100g of high-carbon spherical graphite with a fixed carbon content of 95.23% and a D50 of 17 micrometers, mixing a proper amount of water and 25g of NaOH, uniformly stirring, drying, placing in a muffle furnace, carrying out high-temperature alkali fusion at a temperature of 750 ℃ for 2 hours, cooling along with the furnace, scattering, and carrying out ultrasonic-heating coupling washing (the specific process parameters are that the pulp mixing concentration of an alkali fusion product is 20wt%, the washing temperature is 90 ℃, the ultrasonic frequency is 20kHz, the ultrasonic intensity is 360W and the washing time is 40 min) after the alkali fusion is completed, and collecting a solid product I;
preparing a strong acid solution with the mass concentration of 20% by taking 40g of concentrated hydrochloric acid, and placing a solid product I in the strong acid solution for ultrasonic-heating coupling acid leaching (the process steps are the same as those of the embodiment 1, and specific process parameters are that the acid leaching temperature is 60 ℃, the ultrasonic frequency is 20kHz, the ultrasonic intensity is 180W, and the acid leaching time is 6 hours); washing in a mechanical stirring device with the stirring speed of 2000r/min after acid leaching is finished, filtering and drying after washing water is neutral, and obtaining the high-purity spherical graphite with the fixed carbon content of 99.983%.
Example 3
The purification method of the high-purity graphite comprises the following steps: weighing 100g of high-carbon aphanitic graphite with a fixed carbon content of 94.07% and a D50 of 0.7 micrometer, mixing a proper amount of water and 50g of NaOH, stirring uniformly, drying, adding into a muffle furnace, carrying out high-temperature alkali fusion at a temperature of 750 ℃ for 2 hours, cooling, scattering and ultrasonic-heating coupling washing along with the furnace after the alkali fusion is finished (the specific technological parameters are that the pulp mixing concentration of an alkali fusion product is 10wt%, the washing temperature is 80 ℃, the ultrasonic frequency is 20kHz, the ultrasonic intensity is 360W and the washing time is 50 min), and collecting a solid product I;
preparing a strong acid solution with the mass concentration of 20% by taking 30g of concentrated hydrochloric acid, and placing a solid product I in the strong acid solution for ultrasonic-heating coupling acid leaching (the process steps are the same as those of the embodiment 1, and specific process parameters are that the acid leaching temperature is 90 ℃, the ultrasonic frequency is 20kHz, the ultrasonic intensity is 180W, and the acid leaching time is 4 hours); washing in a mechanical stirring device with the stirring speed of 2000r/min after acid leaching is finished, filtering and drying after washing water is neutral, and obtaining the high-purity graphite with the fixed carbon content of 99.956%.
The purified products prepared in examples 1 to 3 were each subjected to a fixed carbon content test, and the acid, base, water consumption during purification was counted, and the results are shown in table 2.
TABLE 2
Example 1 | Example 2 | Example 3 | |
Raw material D50 | 100 | 17 | 0.7 |
Fixed carbon content (%) | 99.981 | 99.963 | 99.956 |
NaOH consumption (kg/t) | 250 | 250 | 500 |
HCl consumption (kg/t) | 300 | 400 | 300 |
Consumption of water (m) 3 /t) | 18 | 20 | 30 |
As can be seen from Table 2, the graphite products prepared in example 1, example 2 and example 3 have a fixed carbon content of 99.95% or more. However, from the aspect of material consumption, the granularity of the raw material of the embodiment 1 is larger, and the acid-base consumption and the water consumption are lower; example 2 the particle size of the raw material is reduced, and the acid-base consumption and the water consumption are both increased; example 3 the particle size of the raw material was further reduced and the acid-base consumption and water consumption were both significantly increased. Therefore, on the premise of ensuring that the fixed carbon content of the purified graphite product reaches the standard, the granularity of the raw material has obvious influence on the acid-base consumption and the water consumption in the purification process. In addition, the granularity of the raw materials can influence the purity of the final graphite product, and in certain fields, when the high-purity graphite product is needed, the selection of the high-carbon flake graphite with large granularity has more remarkable effect,
it should be noted that, the preferred purification process conditions in the above embodiments are obtained based on a large number of exploratory experiments and scientific experimental designs of univariate and orthogonal experiments, but the present invention is not limited to the specific details in the above embodiments, and various simple modifications can be made to the technical solutions of the present invention within the scope of the technical concept of the present invention, and all the simple modifications fall within the scope of the present invention.
