Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of carbon negative electrode materials, and in particular to a method for preparing a coal gasification slag-based sodium battery soft carbon negative electrode material. Background Art
[0002] As a world-class base for methanol and coal-to-liquids, my country produces nearly 100 million tons of coal gasification slag every year. Currently, only a small amount is used for cement blending. Most of the slag is disposed of by landfill or open-air dumping, occupying a large amount of land and seriously polluting the local environment. In addition, the processing cost is very high (30-70 yuan / ton), which seriously increases the production and operation costs of enterprises.
[0003] Coal gasification slag mainly comes from the incomplete combustion process of coal, contains a large amount of residual carbon (10-60%), and has the advantages of high specific surface area, high conductivity, and high chemical stability. Therefore, it is considered to be a potential and competitive sodium battery negative electrode material.
[0004] The bottleneck of the sodium battery industry chain comes from the negative electrode. The types of negative electrodes and their existing problems are as follows:
[0005] 1. Resin-based carbon negative electrodes have the highest specific capacity and are most suitable for controlled synthesis, but their cost is extremely high and large-scale production is difficult.
[0006] 2. The indicators of biomass-based carbon anode are excellent, but the difficulty is that it is affected by the characteristics of biological sources, the batch stability is poor, and it is difficult to scale up;
[0007] 3. Anthracite has a lower cost and the highest carbon yield; the patent application document with application number 202111673684.8 discloses a coal-based negative electrode material and its preparation method and application, in which volatile organic matter is fully mixed with pretreated coal powder, subjected to low-temperature heat treatment, and then subjected to high-temperature heat treatment to obtain a hard carbon material as a negative electrode material for sodium ion batteries. However, the coal-based hard carbon negative electrode material prepared by this process has problems from a performance perspective: low capacity, low initial efficiency, short cycle life, low rate, and prominent dendrite problems; the investment problem is: large investment in high and low temperature carbonization equipment; the problem from a cost perspective is: large equipment investment, high temperature process, and high energy consumption, resulting in high cost and low competitiveness.
[0008] The patent application document with application number 202111478021.0 discloses a soft and hard carbon composite negative electrode material for sodium ion batteries and its preparation method. After anthracite is micro-oxidized and sintered with organic matter for carbonization, the obtained soft and hard carbon composite negative electrode material can further improve the conductivity of the material and improve the rate performance of the material. However, although the rate performance of the coal-based soft and hard carbon composite negative electrode material prepared by this process has been improved, the capacity, first efficiency, and cycle life are still very low, and the dendrite problem has not been solved; the process still requires large equipment investment; it still requires high and low temperature two-step carbonization, which has high temperature, high energy consumption, high cost, and low competitiveness.
[0009] 4. The composition and structure of asphalt are highly controllable, the carbon yield is high, and the conductivity is good. However, during production, it undergoes a liquid-solid two-phase process, which easily generates glassy carbon and graphite. Summary of the invention
[0010] In order to overcome the defects of the above-mentioned prior art, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a method for preparing a coal gasification slag-based sodium ion battery soft carbon negative electrode material. By means of physical flotation, the carbon content is greatly increased. The prepared coal gasification slag-based sodium ion battery soft carbon negative electrode material has the characteristics of large first discharge capacity and large reversible capacity.
[0011] In order to achieve the above object, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is:
[0012] A method for preparing a coal gasification slag-based sodium battery soft carbon negative electrode material comprises the following steps:
[0013] Step 1: Select gasification slag from the gasification process of methanol and coal-to-liquid production, and pre-grind the selected gasification slag;
[0014] Step 2: Physically flotation the pre-ground fumed slag in step 1 to obtain low-ash, high-carbon fumed slag;
[0015] Step 3: pre-oxidizing the low-ash, high-carbon gasified slag;
[0016] Step 4: coarsely grinding the low-ash, high-carbon gasified slag after pre-oxidation in step 3;
[0017] Step 5: finely grinding the gasified slag after the coarse grinding in step 4;
[0018] Step 6: The gasified slag after fine grinding in step 5 is subjected to particle size ratio matching to increase the compaction density of the pole piece and improve the volume energy density of the battery;
[0019] Step 7: washing the gasified slag after the particle size ratio in step 6 with hydrochloric acid;
[0020] Step 8: performing NaOH alkaline washing on the gasified slag which has been pickled with hydrochloric acid in step 7;
[0021] Step 9: treating the gasified slag washed with NaOH in step 8 with hydrofluoric acid;
[0022] Step 10: Perform secondary pre-oxidation on the gasified slag treated in step 9 to obtain a coal gasification slag-based sodium ion battery soft carbon negative electrode material.
[0023] In the step 1, the selected gasified slags are coarse gasified slag and fine gasified slag, the carbon content of the coarse gasified slag is 5%-25%, and the carbon content of the fine gasified slag is 15-50%;
[0024] The coarse gasified slag and the fine gasified slag are mixed in any proportion, and the mineral particle size of the gasified slag is concentrated between 10 and 350 microns.
[0025] In step 2, the specific steps of physical flotation include: vibration screening, heavy medium flotation, and filter pressing;
[0026] Vibration screening reduces the particle size to between 125-500 microns, with a specific surface area greater than 200m 2 ·g -1 The gasified slag is screened out, and the carbon content of the gasified slag in this range is relatively high; it is used as a precursor raw material for sodium ion negative electrode materials;
[0027] The gasified slag after vibration screening is subjected to heavy medium flotation, and the gasified slag is separated according to its density by using a cyclone. 3 The low-ash, high-carbon gasified slag is separated;
[0028] The gasified slag after heavy medium flotation is filtered; a plate filter press is used to remove the main free water.
[0029] The particle size of the gasified slag obtained by physical flotation is 120-500 microns, and the specific surface area is greater than 200m 2 ·g -1 , density is 1.10-1.30g / cm 3 , the carbon content is between 85% and 89%, and the ash content is below 11% to 15%.
[0030] The step 3 is specifically as follows:
[0031] The low-ash, high-carbon gasified slag is pre-oxidized by using pre-oxidation equipment, the pre-oxidation temperature is 100-500° C., and the pre-oxidation time is 0.5-5 hours.
[0032] The pre-oxidation equipment is limited to rotary kiln pre-oxidation equipment, and the pre-oxidation equipment adopts external heating or internal heating.
[0033] The step 4 is specifically as follows:
[0034] The low-ash, high-carbon gasified slag after pre-oxidation is crushed to a particle size of 50-100 microns.
[0035] The coarse grinding equipment adopts a hammer crusher, but is not limited to a hammer crusher.
[0036] The step 5 is specifically as follows:
[0037] Grind the low-ash, high-carbon gasified slag with a particle size of 50-100 microns into 1-20 microns;
[0038] The low-ash, high-carbon gasified slag above 20 microns is returned for further grinding;
[0039] The fine grinding equipment adopts Raymond mill crusher, but is not limited to Raymond mill crusher.
[0040] The particle size of step 6 is proportioned in the following manner:
[0041] D10 is 1 micron; D50 is 5 microns; D90 is 15 microns; D100 is 20 microns.
[0042] The step 7 is specifically as follows:
[0043] The treatment is carried out with 10-30wt% hydrochloric acid for 4-8h at a temperature of 30-80°C, wherein the solid-liquid mass ratio of the fumed slag to the hydrochloric acid solution is 1:3-1:10. The purpose of this step is to wash away all the basic oxides in the fumed slag, such as aluminum oxide, iron oxide, calcium oxide, magnesium oxide, etc.
[0044] The step 8 is specifically as follows:
[0045] Use NaOH with a concentration of 3-5wt% for alkaline washing, the treatment time is 6-10h, the treatment temperature is 60-100°C, wherein the solid-liquid mass ratio of gasified slag to sodium hydroxide solution is 1:5-1:15; wash away all acidic oxides in the gasified slag, such as silicon dioxide.
[0046] The step 9 is specifically as follows:
[0047] Hydrofluoric acid with a mass concentration of 1-10wt% is selected for treatment, the treatment time is 2-6h, the treatment temperature is 60-80°C, and the solid-liquid mass ratio of gasified slag to hydrofluoric acid solution is 1:1-1:2.
[0048] The step 10 is specifically as follows:
[0049] The gasified slag after acid and alkali washing is subjected to secondary pre-oxidation at a temperature of 100-500°C;
[0050] The oxygen-containing functional groups introduced by pre-oxidation increase the active sites for sodium ion storage. The carbonyl functional groups generated during the pre-oxidation process undergo cross-linking with the carboxyl groups to undergo esterification reactions, increasing the disorder of the carbon structure, thereby obtaining a soft carbon negative electrode material for sodium ion batteries based on coal gasification slag and improving the sodium storage performance of the material.
[0051] The equipment for secondary pre-oxidation is not limited to rotary kiln, and internal heating equipment or external heating equipment may also be used.
[0052] The coal gasification slag-based sodium ion battery soft carbon negative electrode material has a large number of short-range ordered graphite-like stripe domains inside the small particles under transmission electron microscopy, which is a characteristic of the crystal structure of soft carbon materials.

[0055] The particle size of the coal gasification slag-based sodium-ion battery soft carbon negative electrode material is 1-20 microns, but is not limited to 1-20 microns.
