Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to isotropic coke and isotropic graphite material and a preparation method thereof, belonging to the technical field of isotropic graphite materials. Background Art
[0002] Isotropic coke is a high-quality raw material for producing isotropic graphite. It can be processed into graphite electrodes for electrospark machining, mechanical seals under high temperature and high pressure, graphite crucibles and heating elements for single and polycrystalline silicon, nuclear graphite, an energy absorbing material in the nuclear reaction process, aircraft brake pads that withstand impact, friction and wear, and missile nozzle throat liners, and graphitized cathodes for aluminum.
[0003] In the production and application of isotropic coke, companies such as Dahu, Mitsubishi, New Nichia, and Shanjing have been able to produce a variety of isotropic coke products, and carbon products made from them have been widely used. However, the particle strength, resistivity, impurity content, etc. of the pitch coke products produced by most companies currently cannot meet the quality requirements of isotropic graphite products.
[0004] CN104293366A discloses a method for preparing isotropic coke by catalytic carbonization. The method uses coal tar (or coal pitch) as raw material, and adds a certain proportion of Lewis acid catalyst such as AlCl 3 、FeCl 3 or HF / BF 3 , after uniform mixing, placed in an autoclave, and catalytic carbonization is carried out at a certain temperature and pressure to obtain isotropic coke. In this method, the Lewis acid aluminum and iron used will remain in the reaction product. These metals affect the application of the product in high-end carbon materials in the form of ash. In addition, HF is a highly corrosive acid, which not only has high requirements on the reaction device, but also requires the entire transmission and recovery device to be corrosion-resistant. The equipment investment is large and the safety risks are high.
[0005] CN109735361A discloses a method for preparing high microscopic strength mosaic structure asphalt coke. The method specifically uses heavy asphalt as raw material, undergoes oxidative polymerization, and then undergoes deep polycondensation to prepare high microscopic strength mosaic structure asphalt coke.
[0006] CN1306070A discloses a method for preparing isotropic coke. The method uses coal tar or petroleum residue distillate as raw material, heats it to 120°C, starts stirring and introduces oxygen-containing gas, the gas flow rate is 5L / h-45L / h per 100 grams of raw material, the reaction temperature is 260-430°C, after reaching the reaction temperature, the temperature is kept constant, the reaction time is 5-15 hours, and oxidized coal tar or petroleum residue distillate is obtained; the oxidized coal tar or petroleum residue distillate is coked at a temperature of 460-500°C, a pressure of 0.1-1Mpa, and nitrogen protection to generate isotropic coke. The method converts the distillate into a substance similar to asphalt by condensation and cross-linking chemical reactions after removing a part of the evaporation, and then cokes to obtain isotropic coke. Since coal tar and petroleum residue are components rich in polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons with high viscosity, the effect of the contact reaction between air and these large molecular polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons is limited by gas-liquid mass transfer, the actual degree of cross-linking reaction is low, and it is difficult for aromatic rings and side chain alkyls to undergo large-scale free radical reactions. Therefore, the further coking reaction of the obtained asphalt-like substances has a certain amount of streamline structure other than the mosaic structure.
[0007] CN106987262A discloses a method for producing isotropic pitch coke. The method atomizes molten coal tar to obtain atomized pitch; the atomized pitch is contacted with high-temperature gas for pyrolysis to obtain isotropic pitch coke, and the temperature of the high-temperature gas is between 500-1400°C. Since the atomized pitch particles are small and the contact time with the high-temperature gas is short, the particle size and particle strength cannot meet the requirements of the special graphite industry for raw coke.
[0008] CN103849411A discloses a method for preparing isotropic coke. The method obtains isotropic coke by adjusting the content of quinoline insolubles in coal tar raw materials and adjusting the heating rate, reaction temperature and constant temperature time in polymerization reaction and carbonization reaction to control the number and particle size of small spheres. Usually, quinoline insolubles contain a large amount of inorganic impurities, resulting in a high ash content in the product, and the obtained special graphite product has the problems of cracking and high resistivity.
[0009] Most of the above existing technologies use coal tar or coal tar pitch or their blending products as raw materials to produce asphalt coke. Although a certain proportion of mosaic structure exists in the structure, the use of either additives or catalysts will eventually lead to a high impurity content in the product coke, limiting its scope of use.
[0010] Isotropic coke needs to solidify quickly when aromatics form mesophase globules before coking to ensure that they are not absorbed and grown by the surrounding isotropic asphalt aromatic molecules, nor are they fused with the surrounding mesophase globules, and are not deformed by the light component airflow generated by the pyrolysis reaction, but keep the mosaic structure small and uniform. At the same time, the size, distribution and concentration of the small spheres formed at the beginning need to be considered. If the concentration of the small spheres is low at the initial stage of formation, and the proportion of isotropic asphalt is large, the subsequent coking process of isotropic asphalt will easily form large pieces or streamlined structures. If the size of the small spheres is uneven, the mosaic structure in the subsequent coke will also be unevenly distributed.
[0011] CN116444274A discloses a method for preparing an ultrafine structured isotropic graphite material. The raw materials used in the method include 5-15% raw petroleum coke, 5-10% semi-petroleum coke, 5-10% mesophase carbon microspheres, 50-60% petroleum coke, and 10-25% asphalt coke; the above raw materials are crushed to less than 5 μm to obtain a raw material mixture, graphene oxide is added to the asphalt organic solution to form a uniform slurry, and then the raw material mixture is mixed with the slurry and heated, dried, crushed, sieved, formed, roasted, impregnated and graphitized to obtain an isotropic graphite material. The method does not solve the problems existing in the prior art from the perspective of the structural uniformity of petroleum coke, and there are many types of raw coke, and it is difficult to ensure the consistency of the ratio and the uniformity of mixing in actual operation, and batch instability is prone to occur. In addition, the surface properties of coke and its fusion with asphalt are adjusted by adding graphene oxide. Since the nanometer size of graphene is difficult to be uniformly dispersed in the asphalt viscous liquid, it is easy to have the problem of local inhomogeneity of the product.

[0086] The properties of the impregnating agent used for asphalt impregnation are significantly different from the binder initially used in the preparation step. Therefore, the present invention adopts a second roasting step and controls the roasting process so that the carbon blank obtained after the second roasting has excellent comprehensive properties.

[0089] A fourth aspect of the present invention provides an isotropic graphite material, which is prepared by the above-mentioned method for preparing the isotropic graphite material.
[0090] According to a specific embodiment of the present invention, preferably, the volume density of the isotropic graphite material is 1.88-1.92 mg / m 3 , resistivity is 7-9μΩ·m, flexural strength is 75-80Mpa, compressive strength is 90-95Mpa, elastic modulus is 7-8Gpa, thermal expansion coefficient is 4×10 -6 Up to 6×10 -6 K -1(Room temperature to 600°C), thermal conductivity is 100-120W / (m·K).
[0091] The technical solution of the present invention achieves at least the following beneficial effects:
[0092] 1. In view of the problem that the improvement of the existing isotropic graphite material preparation technology has limited improvement in product uniformity, strength, conductivity and yield rate, and cannot meet the use requirements of isotropic graphite high-purity, large-scale silicon crystal growth equipment graphite components, large electrodes, and core nuclear graphite materials, the present invention starts from improving the source raw materials for preparing isotropic graphite and the isotropic coke structure, strength, purity and other properties, fundamentally improving the comprehensive properties of isotropic graphite such as strength, volume density, conductivity, isotropy, uniformity, etc., and can meet the use requirements of photovoltaic silicon growth and large-size graphite in nuclear reactors.
[0093] The raw coke used in the existing isotropic graphite is mostly prepared from ordinary petroleum coke and coal-based asphalt coke. Its microstructure is mainly composed of streamlined fiber structure, flaky structure and mosaic structure of different sizes. The proportion of each structure fluctuates and is inconsistent due to the selection of raw materials and different process conditions, which affects the uniformity of the properties of isotropic graphite and the performance of mechanical and thermal conductivity, or the improper operation of the isotropic graphite processing process causes the graphite products to crack, the yield rate decreases, and the cost increases. In addition to the physical properties usually tested, the interaction between isotropic coke and the impregnant and binder has a great influence on the porosity, strength and resistance of the graphite products after roasting and graphitization. The coal-based impregnant asphalt, binder asphalt and petroleum coke are usually prepared by doping elements such as nitrogen or using heavy coal tar asphalt. Due to the high content of impurity elements and metals, lattice defects will be brought about after later heat treatment or graphitization, affecting the performance of capacity, and it will also bring certain environmental problems. When using petroleum raw materials, due to the high molecular fluidity, it is easy to form a streamlined structure, and it is difficult to obtain petroleum coke with the same structure.
[0094] The inventors of this case regulated the raw material composition of isotropic coke, used appropriate purification methods for different raw materials, fully utilized the reactivity of different distillate oils, exerted the advantages of oil-based and coal-based raw materials, and prepared isotropic coke using delayed coking technology, thus solving the problem of insufficient performance of existing raw material coke.
[0095] Based on the above innovative improvements, the inventors of this case provide an isotropic coke, the mosaic structure ratio of which is 80-95%, the carbon microcrystalline structure size is 1-20μm, and the true density is 1.385-1.430g / cm 3, the Hardgrove grindability index is 20-30%; based on the total weight of the raw coke, the ash content is 10-50ppm, the volatile content is 5-10%, the sulfur content is 0.2-0.4%, the nitrogen content is 0.1-0.2%, and the water content is 8-12%. By using this specific isotropic coke combined with the preparation process of isotropic graphite, the graphite products have excellent comprehensive properties such as strength, electrical conductivity, and thermal conductivity.
[0096] 2. The preparation of isotropic coke is a difficult point in the research of this field. From the perspective of the design of the reaction principle of the mesophase theory, when the impurities in the heavy aromatic components are removed and the content is low, the condensed aromatic molecules are easy to form large-sized carbon microcrystals, and then grow and develop into large crystal structures, and cannot generate small and uniform mosaic structures. When the non-carbon elements such as metals and non-metallic elements in the raw materials are high, the generated petroleum coke will affect the strength of the graphite products due to the escape of non-carbon elements after subsequent heat treatment and graphitization. The key problem is that cracking and pores lead to preparation failure. After in-depth research and creative practice, the inventor of this case started from the perspective of the raw material reaction activity allocation of isotropic coke, combined with the characteristics of coal-based and oil-based raw materials, controlled the content of metal and non-metallic impurities, and controlled the type of heavy oil, ash removal method, and aromatic component structure and content to control the structure and strength of isotropic coke. Specifically, petroleum crude oil, ethylene tar, and specific fractions of coal tar are used as raw materials. After purification and impurity removal, aromatic molecular design (pyrolysis), and adjustment of the microcrystalline structure size and distribution of the coke, the various steps and parameters are coordinated with each other, and finally high-strength, high-purity, and structurally uniform isotropic coke is produced, and the preparation process can achieve continuous production.
[0097] 3. The preparation method of isotropic graphite material provided by the present invention adopts isotropic coke and cooked coke in combination with each other. The impregnating agent and adhesive required in the preparation process of isotropic graphite are consistent with the raw material source of coke, which promotes the increase of the bonding force between coke and asphalt during high-temperature treatment. The roasting and graphitization procedures are set according to the properties of the raw materials, so that the preparation process of isotropic graphite can achieve synchronous shrinkage, reduce the formation of cracks and pores in the heat treatment process, and improve the comprehensive properties of isotropic graphite such as strength, volume density, electrical conductivity, thermal conductivity, isotropy, uniformity and yield rate.
[0098] In summary, the present invention provides an isotropic coke and an isotropic graphite material and methods for preparing the same. The isotropic coke provided by the present invention fundamentally solves the problem that the existing special graphite made from petroleum coke or asphalt coke cannot meet the demand for isotropic graphite, and improves the isotropy, strength, purity, high-temperature shrinkage performance, etc. of the isotropic coke. In addition, the present invention matches the isotropic coke raw coke and cooked coke with each other, and combines the selection of impregnants and binders and the temperature control procedure in the preparation process of isotropic graphite to obtain an isotropic graphite material with excellent performance in various aspects such as strength, electrical conductivity, thermal conductivity, bulk density, isotropy, and uniformity.
