This invention discloses a
microwave preparation method for
sulfur-free expanded
graphite and its application, belonging to the field of carbon material preparation technology. The method includes four steps:
raw material pretreatment,
sulfur-free intercalation treatment,
microwave expansion treatment, and post-treatment. This invention selects high-carbon natural
flake graphite, which is pretreated by crushing and
drying. Then, an
intercalation reaction is carried out by adding a
sulfur-free oxidant and a composite intercalation solution. Following
microwave heating for
rapid expansion, the finished sulfur-free expanded
graphite is obtained after post-treatment. This invention innovatively adopts a sulfur-free intercalation
system, completely eliminating sulfur residue and
pollution. Combined with microwave heating technology,
energy consumption is reduced by more than 60% compared to traditional processes. The process is simple and the
production cycle is short. The obtained product has an expansion volume ≥300mL / g, a
sulfur content ≤0.01%, high purity, and stable performance. It can be widely used in multiple fields, solving the problems of sulfur
pollution,
high energy consumption, complex processes, and limited applications of existing technologies, and has significant economic and environmental benefits.
