Problems solved by technology

However, most of these processes have not been industrialized due to complex process flow, high processing costs, and severe corrosion of equipment.
[0003] Shi Zhongning, Li Wei et al. ("Research on the Treatment of Waste Cathodes of Aluminum Electrolysis by Acid-Alkali Method", Master's Degree Thesis of Northeastern University) used two-step acid-alkali leaching method, that is, alkaline leaching at 60-100°C first, and then leaching at 60-100°C. The graphite in the waste cathode carbon block is extracted by acid leaching at ℃. The extraction process of this method has high requirements on temperature and equipment, and the cost is also high. Moreover, it is easy to cause serious corrosion to equipment and workshops, and it does not meet the requirements of industrial production. Require

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for purifying graphite from a waste cathode carbon block, belonging to the technical field of comprehensive utilization of solid waste resources of aluminum electrolysis. The method for purifying graphite from the waste cathode carbon block in the invention comprises the following steps: 1) mixing a waste cathode carbon block sample with a first solvent, a secondsolvent and alkali, and carrying out ultrasonic leaching for 0.5-1 hour, wherein the first solvent is at least one selected from the group consisting of water, ethylene glycol and ethanol, the secondsolvent is at least one selected from the group consisting of petroleum ether and acetonitrile, and the alkali is at least one selected from the group consisting of sodium hydroxide and potassium hydroxide; and 2) conducting centrifugal separation, washing and drying to obtain the product. The method for purifying the graphite is simple to operate and can be carried out at normal temperature and normal pressure; the graphite with higher purity can be extracted without acid leaching, so cost is low, and the method is economical; and the purity of the graphite obtained by using the method is ashigh as 88.4%.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for purifying graphite from waste cathode carbon blocks, and belongs to the technical field of comprehensive utilization of aluminum electrolysis solid waste resources. Background technique [0002] The aluminum industry is one of the basic industries, and it is also an industry with high energy consumption and high pollution. Whether the aluminum industry can develop healthily and sustainably has attracted more and more attention. The core issue affecting the sustainable development of the aluminum industry is the hazardous solid waste discharged, including overhaul slag and spent cathode carbon blocks. At present, most enterprises use the method of storing, landfilling, and recycling carbon materials to make electrolytic cell anodes to process the waste cathode carbon blocks of electrolytic aluminum. However, the waste cathode carbon blocks contain a large amount of fluoride and some cyanide. Long-term storage will c...
