[0032] The present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with embodiments.

[0033] Example 1

[0034] An isostatic graphite comprises, by mass fraction, 64% of coal-based needle coke, 34.2% of high-temperature modified asphalt and 1.8% of sulfur, wherein the sulfur content of the coal-based needle coke is ≤0.3%, the ash content of the coal-based needle coke is ≤0.25%, the volatile matter of the coal-based needle coke is ≤0.8%, the moisture content of the coal-based needle coke is ≤0.5%, and the true density of the coal-based needle coke is 1.98 g / cm 3The powder resistivity of the coal-based needle coke is 550-600 μΩ.m. The raw materials of the coal-based needle coke are easily available and cheap. The softening point of the high-temperature modified asphalt is 118-130°C, the volatile matter of the high-temperature modified asphalt is 47%-57%, the ash content of the high-temperature modified asphalt is ≤0.3%, the moisture content of the high-temperature modified asphalt is ≤1%, the toluene insoluble content of the high-temperature modified asphalt is 25%-37%, the quinoline insoluble content of the high-temperature modified asphalt is 6%-12%, and the coking value of the high-temperature modified asphalt is ≥60%; the purity of the sulfur is ≥99.9%, and the ash content of the sulfur is ≤0.03%.

[0035] A coal tar pitch modified isostatic pressing production process for preparing isostatically pressed graphite comprises the following steps:

[0036] 1) Crushing and primary grinding of coal-based needle coke:

[0037] The coal-based needle coke is crushed by a crusher and ground into powder once to a particle size of 10 μm;

[0038] 2) Preparation of mixed binder:

[0039] 34.2% high temperature modified asphalt was melted at 120°C, 1.8% sulfur was added and stirred evenly to obtain a mixed binder. The mixed binder was relatively viscous at the beginning of stirring, and the viscosity of the mixed binder decreased as sulfur was gradually added.

[0040] The temperature at which sulfur and high-temperature modified asphalt begin to react chemically is 130°C. As the temperature rises, the reaction speed gradually accelerates. The reaction is relatively mild at 130-150°C, and the reaction is violent above 150°C. Without chemically reacting with high-temperature modified asphalt, sulfur can increase the plasticity of the material. However, after sulfur and high-temperature modified asphalt react chemically, the viscosity of the high-temperature modified asphalt increases, and the plasticity of the material deteriorates.

[0041] 3) Dry mixing:

[0042] 64% of coal-based needle coke is dry mixed in a kneading pot at a dry mixing temperature of 120°C;

[0044] The dry-mixed material and the mixed binder prepared in step 2) are wet-mixed in a kneading pot, the wet-mixing temperature is 130° C., and the wet-mixing time is 60 min. If the plasticity of the wet-mixed material is not good, the wet-mixing temperature is increased to 140° C., but the wet-mixing time cannot exceed 30 min, and the wet-mixing temperature cannot exceed 150° C., so as to avoid chemical reaction between sulfur and high-temperature modified asphalt, thereby increasing plasticity. The wet-mixed material is cooled in the kneading pot;

[0045] 5) Secondary grinding:

[0046] The cooled material is ground twice on a Raymond mill to a particle size of 35-40 μm;

[0047] 6) Isostatic pressing:

[0048] The secondary ground material is put into a rubber sleeve, and after vibration and vacuum operation, it is placed in an isostatic press for molding at a molding pressure of 123Mpa;

[0049] 7) Calcination:

[0050] The isostatically pressed materials are loaded into a well chamber roasting furnace for roasting. The maximum roasting temperature is 950°C and the roasting time is 910 hours. During this process, sulfur reacts chemically with the high-temperature modified asphalt, thereby increasing the coking value of the high-temperature modified asphalt and reducing the risk of roasting cracking.

[0051] 8) Graphitization treatment:

[0052] The calcined material is loaded into a medium frequency graphitization furnace for graphitization treatment. The maximum graphitization temperature is above 2800°C and the graphitization treatment time is 14 days. The medium frequency graphitization furnace is used for graphitization operation, and the graphitization temperature can be controlled as needed.

[0053] The performance of the isostatic graphite in this embodiment was tested. The product structure after the roasting operation was good, and the bulk density was 1.65g / m 2 The volume density of the product after graphitization is 1.86g / m 2 The compressive strength of the product after graphitization treatment is 70MPa.

[0054] The coal tar modified isostatic pressing production process in this embodiment does not overlap with the traditional carbon product process. The process parameters of each process are controlled separately, which can ensure the precise control of the process parameters and ensure product quality.
