The invention discloses a method for purifying high-purity flake graphite. The method comprises the steps of adopting graphite powder with the carbon content being greater than 90% as raw material powder, adding the graphite powder into a reaction kettle together with diluted hydrochloric acid, conducting heating and stirring, conducting dipping for 2-3 hours, then adding the mixture into the reaction kettle together with a sodium hydroxide solution with the mass ratio being 1: (2.8-3), conducting heating, and meanwhile conducting stirring for a dipping reaction; then mixing a second crude product with sodium chloride according to the mass ratio of 100: (1-5), then conducting drying, transferring the materials into a graphite crucible, under the protection of micro-positive pressure nitrogen, raising the temperature to 1000-1200 DEG C, preserving the temperature for 1-3 hours, naturally cooling the materials to the room temperature, then raising the temperature to 2200-2600 DEG C, and preserving the temperature for 6-10 minutes, so that the high-purity flake graphite is finally obtained. By means of the purification process, flake graphite with the carbon content being 90% can be purified to the extent of approximate 99.9933-99.9955%, the technical content of the flake graphite is greatly raised, and the application scope of the flake graphite is greatly widened.
