Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of monitoring and management of coal-based graphite purification, and relates to an operation data acquisition and optimization analysis system based on a coal-based graphite purification system. Background Art

[0002] Coal-based graphite is a natural graphite resource formed by the graphitization transformation of carbon-rich coal under high-temperature geological action. It has a high carbon content and an ordered crystal structure, and is an important raw material in the fields of new energy, high-end materials, etc. However, natural coal-based graphite generally contains impurities such as ash, sulfides, and volatile components. Insufficient purity directly affects its electrical conductivity, thermal conductivity, mechanical strength, and chemical stability. Therefore, deep purification is required through processes such as high-temperature calcination, acid leaching purification, and flotation separation to increase the carbon content to meet the high-end application requirements such as anode materials for lithium-ion batteries, moderators for nuclear reactors, and aerospace seals.

[0003] The purity of coal-based graphite has a strong positive correlation with its performance. If the purification process is insufficient or out of control, it will lead to deterioration of product performance, increased processing costs, environmental pollution risks, and increased equipment wear. Therefore, it is of practical significance to collect operation data and optimize the analysis of coal-based graphite purification and improve the quality of the purification process.

[0004] Existing operation management and analysis methods for coal-based graphite purification focus on the optimization of the storage layout of graphite ore and the judgment of the overall process compliance, which belong to the material management and quality monitoring at the front end of production. For example, the Chinese patent with the publication number CN117669999B discloses an intelligent management system for graphite purification production, including a collection module for collecting graphite ore information of multiple graphite ore piles, an acquisition module connected to the collection module for acquiring graphite ore requirement information, a purification module connected to the acquisition module, a real-time collection module, and a judgment module connected to the real-time collection module for judging whether pure graphite is qualified based on the graphite ore requirement information. This invention can store the same type of graphite ore in sequence according to the stock quantity, and can reasonably arrange the storage layout of graphite ore, making it more efficient for subsequent transportation operations in the purification and processing of graphite ore, facilitating processing operations. This invention judges whether pure graphite is qualified based on the graphite ore requirement information, and prompts the unqualified information in pure graphite when pure graphite is unqualified, where the unqualified information includes the component information of unqualified pure graphite and the corresponding purification step information.

[0005] However, the existing methods do not involve the refined process control in the production process, such as the dynamic regulation and optimization of process parameters in the coal-based graphite purification process, especially the dynamic regulation of key production links in the coal-based graphite purification process, such as chemical treatment processes like acid leaching and washing, and thus cannot better guarantee the production efficiency and product quality of coal-based graphite purification. Summary of the Invention

[0006] In view of the above problems, the present invention proposes an operation data acquisition and optimization analysis system based on a coal-series graphite purification system, realizing the function of monitoring and management of coal-series graphite purification.

[0007] The technical solution adopted by the present invention to solve its technical problems is as follows: The present invention provides an operation data acquisition and optimization analysis system based on a coal-series graphite purification system, including: A raw material pretreatment optimization unit: used to obtain the characteristic information of the coal-series graphite raw material and the limitation information of the raw material pretreatment equipment, initially set the crushing strength and pretreatment temperature of the raw material pretreatment in coal-series graphite purification, and optimize the process parameters of the raw material pretreatment according to the particle size distribution after the raw material pretreatment.

[0011] A drying process optimization unit: used to obtain the product requirements of the coal-series graphite, initially set the drying temperature and drying duration of the drying in coal-series graphite purification, and optimize the process parameters of the drying according to the residual moisture content after drying.

[0012] A database: used to store the expert rule library of the coal-series graphite purification process and the limitation information of the raw material pretreatment equipment.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the operation data acquisition and optimization analysis system based on a coal-series graphite purification system of the present invention has the following beneficial effects: 1.
