The invention belongs to the technical field of
graphite preparation, and particularly relates to expandable
graphite without waste acid
discharge as well as a preparation method and application thereof. The preparation method comprises the following steps: stirring and mixing a
graphite raw material and recycled
sulfuric acid for pretreatment, then adding
hydrogen peroxide into the mixture, and carrying out oxidation
intercalation reaction at
room temperature to obtain a
reaction product; carrying out
solid-liquid separation on the
reaction product to obtain filtrate and a
solid product; filtrate is used as recycled
sulfuric acid for a pretreatment process; the
solid product is sequentially subjected to washing,
drying and high-temperature expansion treatment, and the expandable graphite is prepared. According to the method, the core problems of high consumption of
sulfuric acid and serious waste acid
pollution in the production of the expandable graphite are solved from the source, the
raw material and
wastewater treatment cost is remarkably reduced through efficient resource recycling, and an economical, feasible and environment-friendly
green production process path is provided for the industry.
