After carbonization treatment, some types of carbon intermediates can be used or sold directly as negative electrode materials, while some types of carbon intermediates need to be graphitized at a higher temperature before they can be used. Graphitization treatment is a high-energy consumption and high-cost production process. Pre-carbonization treatment of them before graphitization will significantly increase the material packing density, increase the output of a single graphitization furnace, and reduce the production cost of graphitization treatment.

[0003] The traditional carbonization treatment device inserts a heating plate into the negative electrode material, energizes both ends of the heating plate, heats the heating plate, and then heats and carbonizes the negative electrode material on both sides of the heating plate. However, due to the thickness of the negative electrode material, the degree of carbonization of the negative electrode material at different thickness positions is different, and a large range of negative electrode materials are carbonized at the same time, which consumes a lot of energy and takes a long time. In addition, due to its rigidity, the heating plate is not in close contact with the negative electrode material, resulting in low carbonization efficiency. Summary of the invention

Laying a first conductive graphite felt on the heat insulation pad, with one end of the first conductive graphite felt abutting against the inner wall of the furnace head of the carbonization furnace and the other end being spaced apart from the inner wall of the furnace tail of the carbonization furnace;

[0008] c. Place graphite crucibles filled with the first negative electrode material evenly at the same intervals on the first conductive graphite felt, open the graphite crucible upward, and fill the second negative electrode material between the graphite crucibles and between the graphite crucibles and the side wall of the carbonization furnace to form a graphite crucible layer;

[0009] d. Laying a second conductive graphite felt on the graphite crucible layer, covering the graphite crucible opening of the graphite crucible layer, abutting one end of the second conductive graphite felt against the inner wall of the tail of the carbonization furnace and the other end of the second conductive graphite felt with the inner wall of the furnace head of the carbonization furnace spaced apart;

[0010] e. Laying a refractory fiber felt roof with an exhaust port on the second conductive graphite felt;

[0011] f. Supply electricity to the carbonization furnace so that the current passes through the furnace head, the first conductive graphite felt, the graphite crucible layer, the second conductive graphite felt, and the furnace tail in sequence to electrically heat the carbonization furnace;

[0012] g. Use platinum-rhodium thermocouples at the temperature measuring points of the carbonization furnace to monitor the temperature field of the carbonization furnace;

[0013] h. When the temperature field reaches the process requirements, stop supplying power, remove the furnace roof, and dissipate heat to cool down;

[0014] i. Take out the second conductive graphite felt, graphite crucible, first conductive graphite felt and thermal insulation pad, complete the carbonization treatment of the first negative electrode material, and collect the second negative electrode material as the first negative electrode material for the next carbonization treatment.

[0015] After step d, steps a to d are repeated to form a multi-layer graphite crucible in the carbonization furnace.

[0016] The method also includes the steps of collecting waste gas from the exhaust port on the furnace top and performing harmless treatment.

[0017] The method also includes the steps of arranging two layers of furnace tops and staggering the exhaust ports of the two layers of furnace tops.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0027] The present invention is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0028] The carbonization treatment method of the negative electrode material of a lithium ion battery of the present invention comprises the following steps:

[0029] a. Lay heat insulation pads in the carbonization furnace; the heat insulation pads can be made of ceramic fiber refractory wool or refractory insulation bricks, which not only keep heat and insulate, but also have better adaptability and cushioning properties.

[0030] b. Lay the first conductive graphite felt on the heat insulation pad, with one end of the first conductive graphite felt in contact with the inner wall of the furnace head of the carbonization furnace and the other end separated from the inner wall of the furnace tail of the carbonization furnace; the first conductive graphite felt is used to connect the current of the furnace head to the bottom of the graphite crucible. The conductive graphite felt can be laid as a whole sheet or multiple sheets overlapped end to end; the conductive graphite felt is thin, occupies little space, can be elastically deformed well, and is convenient for close connection with the graphite crucible and the negative electrode material.

[0031] c. Graphite crucibles filled with the first negative electrode material are evenly placed on the first conductive graphite felt at the same intervals, the opening of the graphite crucible is facing upward, and the second negative electrode material is filled between the graphite crucibles and between the graphite crucible and the side wall of the carbonization furnace to form a graphite crucible layer; the resistance of the graphite crucible is greater than the resistance of the first conductive graphite felt and the resistance of the second conductive graphite felt, and the average carbonization degree of the first negative electrode material is higher than the average carbonization degree of the second negative electrode material, which is convenient for the first negative electrode material to be heated and carbonized preferentially; the top of the graphite crucible is open, which is not only convenient for air permeability, but also convenient for the first negative electrode material to directly contact and energize the second conductive graphite felt, so that the first negative electrode material can not only be heated and carbonized by the graphite crucible, but also can actively heat and carbonize by energizing itself, so that the carbonization of the first negative electrode material is more sufficient and more uniform; the second negative electrode material can play the role of filling, supporting and heat preservation, and at the same time fully absorb the heat radiated outward by the graphite crucible, the first conductive graphite felt and the second conductive graphite felt for preliminary carbonization, which is more energy-saving.

[0032] d. Lay a second conductive graphite felt on the graphite crucible layer, cover the graphite crucible opening of the graphite crucible layer, support the graphite crucible and the second negative electrode material filled on the side of the graphite crucible, and abut one end of the second conductive graphite felt against the inner wall of the furnace tail of the carbonization furnace and the other end is separated from the inner wall of the furnace head of the carbonization furnace; the second conductive graphite felt is used to connect the current at the furnace tail to the top of the graphite crucible. The material and conductive properties of the second conductive graphite felt are the same as those of the first conductive graphite felt; the second conductive graphite felt covers the top opening of the graphite crucible, which can prevent the second negative electrode material from mixing with the first negative electrode material in the crucible, so that the first negative electrode material is independently carbonized in the graphite crucible, and the carbonization degree of the first negative electrode material is more uniform.

[0033] e. A refractory fiber felt furnace roof with an exhaust port is laid on the second conductive graphite felt; the refractory fiber felt can be graphite felt, carbon felt, or ceramic fiber wool, etc. The refractory fiber felt has good thermal insulation performance and is lightweight; the exhaust port is used to discharge volatile gases generated during the heating and carbonization process of the negative electrode material.

[0034] f. Supply power to the carbonization furnace, preferably direct current, and apply a variable voltage according to the carbonization demand, so that the current passes through the furnace head, the first conductive graphite felt, the graphite crucible layer, the second conductive graphite felt, and the furnace tail in sequence to electrically heat the carbonization furnace; the current mainly passes through the furnace head, the first conductive graphite felt, the graphite crucible layer, the second conductive graphite felt, and the furnace tail, and then passes through the first negative electrode material, and the current passing through the second negative electrode material is the least; the graphite crucible is heated first, and the first negative electrode material in the graphite crucible is carbonized first.

[0035] g. Use platinum-rhodium thermocouples at the temperature measuring points of the carbonization furnace to monitor the temperature field of the carbonization furnace; the temperature field monitoring system is connected to the platinum-rhodium thermocouples to collect the temperature field data of the carbonization furnace; the temperature measuring points are used to monitor the temperature of the graphite crucible, the temperature of the conductive graphite felt, the temperature of the negative electrode material, and the temperature of the inner wall of the furnace.

[0036] h. When the temperature field reaches the process requirements, stop supplying electricity, remove the furnace roof, and dissipate heat to cool down;

[0037] i. Take out the second conductive graphite felt, graphite crucible, first conductive graphite felt, thermal insulation pad and second negative electrode material layer by layer from top to bottom, take out the first negative electrode material from the graphite crucible, complete the carbonization treatment of the first negative electrode material, take out the second negative electrode material from the carbonization furnace, and collect the second negative electrode material as the first negative electrode material for the next carbonization treatment.

[0038] After step d, steps a to d are repeated to form a multi-layer graphite crucible layer in the carbonization furnace. That is, a first conductive graphite felt and a heat-insulating pad are provided at the bottom of each graphite crucible layer and a second conductive graphite felt is provided at the top, and each graphite crucible layer is heated and carbonized relatively independently. Multi-layer graphite crucible layers are provided in the carbonization furnace for carbonization, so that the single carbonization output of the carbonization furnace is larger. In the structure of the multi-layer graphite crucible layer, due to the filling of the second negative electrode material, it can also play a better supporting and stabilizing role, and can reduce collapse.

[0039] It also includes the steps of collecting exhaust gas from the exhaust port on the top of the furnace and treating it harmlessly. The harmless treatment mainly includes cyclone dust removal, water washing and cooling, etc., which can reduce air pollution and be more environmentally friendly.

[0040] The method also includes the steps of setting two layers of furnace tops and staggering the exhaust ports of the two layers of furnace tops, so as to retain some dust and avoid the carbonization furnace door being wide open, thereby reducing heat loss.

[0041] The method further includes the steps of reserving a first abutting portion at one end of the first conductive graphite felt for parallel abutment with the inner wall of the furnace head, and reserving a second abutting portion at one end of the second conductive graphite felt for parallel abutment with the inner wall of the furnace tail. The first abutting portion at the end of the first conductive graphite felt abuts parallel to the inner wall of the furnace head, and the second abutting portion at the end of the second conductive graphite felt abuts parallel to the inner wall of the furnace tail, so that the contact surface is larger, the electrical performance is better and more stable, and as a reserve for abutment, the disconnection of the abutment due to the sinking of the second negative electrode material can be avoided.

The furnace head and the furnace tail are located at both ends of the carbonization furnace, the furnace side walls are located on both sides of the carbonization furnace, the furnace top is located at the top of the carbonization furnace, and the furnace top is located at the bottom of the carbonization furnace. The furnace head, the furnace tail and the furnace side walls are all fixedly connected to the furnace bottom.

The resistance of the graphite crucible is greater than the resistance of the first conductive graphite felt and the resistance of the second conductive graphite felt. The average carbonization degree of the first negative electrode material in the graphite crucible is higher than the average carbonization degree of the second negative electrode material outside the graphite crucible, which facilitates the first negative electrode material to be heated and carbonized preferentially; the top of the graphite crucible is open, which is not only convenient for air permeability, but also convenient for the first negative electrode material to directly contact and energize with the second conductive graphite felt, so that the first negative electrode material can not only be heated and carbonized by the graphite crucible, but also can actively generate heat and carbonize by energizing itself, so that the carbonization of the first negative electrode material is more sufficient and more uniform; the second negative electrode material can play the role of filling, supporting and heat preservation, and at the same time fully absorb the heat radiated outward by the graphite crucible, the first conductive graphite felt and the second conductive graphite felt for preliminary carbonization, which is more energy-saving.

[0047] The second conductive graphite felt is laid on the graphite crucible in the furnace chamber and covers the opening of the graphite crucible. One end of the second conductive graphite felt abuts against the inner wall of the furnace tail and the other end is separated from the inner wall of the furnace head. The second conductive graphite felt is used to connect the current of the furnace tail to the top of the graphite crucible. The material and conductive properties of the second conductive graphite felt are the same as those of the first conductive graphite felt. The second conductive graphite felt covers the top opening of the graphite crucible, which can prevent the second negative electrode material from mixing with the first negative electrode material in the crucible, so that the first negative electrode material is independently carbonized in the graphite crucible, and the carbonization degree of the first negative electrode material is more uniform.

[0048] The furnace top is covered on the second conductive graphite felt, and the furnace top is a refractory fiber felt with an exhaust port; the refractory fiber felt can be graphite felt, carbon felt or ceramic fiber wool, etc.; the refractory fiber felt has good thermal insulation performance and is light in weight; the exhaust port is used to discharge the volatile gas generated by the negative electrode material during the heating and carbonization process.

The temperature measuring points are provided with platinum-rhodium thermocouples for collecting the temperature field data of the carbonization furnace, and the platinum-rhodium thermocouples are connected to the temperature field monitoring system.

[0049] When in use, power is supplied to the carbonization furnace, preferably direct current, and a variable voltage is applied according to the carbonization requirements, so that the current passes through the furnace head, the first conductive graphite felt, the graphite crucible layer, the second conductive graphite felt, and the furnace tail in sequence, and the carbonization furnace is heated electrically; the current mainly passes through the furnace head, the first conductive graphite felt, the graphite crucible layer, the second conductive graphite felt, and the furnace tail, and then passes through the first negative electrode material, and the current passing through the second negative electrode material is the least; the graphite crucible is heated first, and the first negative electrode material in the graphite crucible is carbonized first.

Each set of carbonization treatment layers is heated and carbonized relatively independently. Multiple sets of carbonization treatment layers are arranged in the carbonization furnace for carbonization treatment, so that the single carbonization treatment output of the carbonization furnace is larger. In the structure of the multi-layer carbonization treatment layer, due to the filling and support of the second negative electrode material, the stability is better and the collapse can be reduced.

[0051] like Figure 1 As shown, a gas collection hood is also arranged above the exhaust port on the furnace roof, the gas collection hood is connected to an induced draft fan, and the induced draft fan is connected to an exhaust gas purification system.
