Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of high-value utilization of waste graphite, and particularly relates to efficient purification and reuse of waste graphite. Background Art

[0002] Graphite is used in many fields due to its superior properties, such as aluminum electrolysis, lithium-ion batteries, semiconductors, and graphite crucibles. With the increase in usage, efficient recovery and high-value utilization of graphite are of great significance for the recycling of graphite.

[0003] The existing regeneration methods of waste graphite mainly involve purification and carbon coating repair. For example, the Chinese patent document with publication number CN119143125A discloses a segmented purification method for natural graphite, which specifically comprises mixing and grinding natural graphite with sodium hydroxide, rapidly cooling after microwave treatment, and then microwave treatment after hydrofluoric acid circulation treatment to obtain a high-purity graphite product. For another example, the Chinese patent document with publication number CN118164482A discloses a method for recycling graphite from waste batteries, which comprises the following steps: taking graphite powder from waste batteries and subjecting it to preheat treatment, followed by acid modification treatment, and then subjecting it to carbon coating treatment to obtain a recycled material.

[0004] In summary, the existing recycling process of waste graphite mainly involves carbon coating and repair after acid purification. This idea can improve the purity of waste graphite and form a repair interface on the surface. However, it is difficult to achieve deep purification of graphite in the existing process. In addition, the damaged interface of graphite is difficult to effectively modify, and the interface fusion between the coating interface and graphite needs to be further improved, which will affect the performance of recycled graphite, especially the super-fast charging and ultra-low temperature stability of recycled graphite. Not only that, the existing technology is also difficult to avoid environmental problems such as a large amount of waste acid. Summary of the invention
