The invention discloses a
microwave-
plasma synergistic stripping waste
lithium battery
graphite regeneration and
graphene preparation method, and belongs to the field of
lithium battery
recovery. The preparation method comprises the following steps: discharging the waste
lithium battery, crushing, magnetically separating, crushing and screening to obtain a
solid mixture containing
graphite,
drying the
solid mixture, and calcining to obtain
graphite slag containing
metal impurities; the method comprises the following steps: treating graphite
slag and mixed acid under microwaves, dispersing the treated graphite
slag and mixed acid in an
ionic liquid, and carrying out ultrasonic treatment in a
plasma environment to obtain a
graphene dispersion liquid; and separating the
graphene dispersion liquid to obtain graphene
powder. According to the method, graphite is recycled through
microwave-assisted acid leaching pretreatment,
metal impurities and residual binders are efficiently removed, meanwhile, the integrity of an interlayer structure of the graphite is reserved, and the acid consumption and secondary
pollution are reduced. In the ultrasonic stripping process, low-temperature
plasma is introduced, high-energy particles are used for bombarding graphite interlayers, the
Van der Waals force is further weakened, and the stripping efficiency is improved.
