The invention discloses a carbon nanomaterial pretreatment device and a process thereof, and belongs to the technical field of carbon nanomaterial modification and application, the device comprises a pretreatment main body, a roller way conveying mechanism, a sagger and a collecting and releasing dust-free purification area, the roller way conveying mechanism penetrates through the purification area and the pretreatment main body, the pretreatment body is provided with a low-temperature area, a medium-temperature area, a high-temperature area and a cooling area in the material conveying direction, the temperatures of all the temperature areas are independently controlled, an exhaust and detection
assembly is arranged, and the roller way conveying speed can be adjusted to control the material
retention time. According to the process, carbon nanotubes are fed into a device through dust-
free feeding, and the temperatures (300-600 DEG C) of a low-temperature area, a medium-temperature area, a high-temperature area and a cooling area and the protective gas and oxidant
atmosphere are accurately regulated and controlled; according to the method, the pretreatment target of'modification but not destruction 'is achieved, the purity, surface activity and
dispersity of the carbon nanotubes are synchronously improved, the defect structure is optimized, the specific surface area is increased to 600-1000 m < 2 > / g, and the core performance is remarkably enhanced.
