Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of green production and pollutant treatment technology of lithium-ion battery anode materials, and specifically relates to a method for efficient treatment and resource utilization of multiple pollutants in graphitized flue gas of anode materials based on the cascade utilization of waste heat. Background Technology

[0002] Graphitization, a core process in the production of artificial graphite anode materials, requires prolonged processing at high temperatures of 2800-3000℃. Producing one ton of artificial graphite anode material consumes approximately 12,000-15,000 kWh of electricity, accompanied by the emission of large amounts of high-temperature flue gas (temperature 800-1100℃, air volume 50,000-150,000 Nm³ / h). With the rapid development of the lithium-ion battery industry, the environmental and energy-saving issues facing the graphitization process for anode materials have become increasingly prominent, evolving from single-pollutant treatment to a complex problem of "energy waste - pollution control - high costs." In recent years, waste heat recovery and pollutant treatment technologies in the graphitization process have received widespread attention. A research paper published in ScienceDirect, "Investigation of the waste heat recovery and pollutant emission reduction potential in graphitization furnace" (2022), systematically analyzed the waste heat recovery and pollutant emission reduction potential of graphitization furnaces. The study showed that approximately 48.5% of the waste heat can be recovered from the coke surface, resulting in annual reductions of CO2, SO2, and NO2 emissions. x The figures were 47.5 tons, 7.4 tons, and 3.6 tons, respectively. This study provides a theoretical basis for energy conservation and emission reduction in graphitization furnaces, but it mainly remains at the potential analysis stage and does not propose specific engineering implementation plans.

[0003] Regarding graphitization production equipment, Chinese patent CN105460928A discloses a continuous high-temperature heat treatment production line for granular graphite, including a preheating feeding device, an intermediate silo, a vertical continuous induction heating furnace, a discharge device, and a waste gas and residue collection device. This technology realizes high-temperature purification, graphitization, carbonization, and other high-temperature heat treatment processes, featuring high efficiency, low energy consumption, and environmental friendliness. However, it mainly focuses on optimizing the production equipment itself, providing only a general description of the waste gas and residue collection device without addressing specific waste heat recovery technologies and multi-pollutant co-treatment schemes for flue gas. In terms of resource utilization, Chinese patent CN103579624A discloses a modified graphite crucible waste lithium battery anode material and its preparation method. By mixing graphite crucible waste with asphalt precursors and using spray drying processes, the anode material is prepared, achieving resource utilization of the waste. This technology provides a framework for the recycling of graphite waste, but it primarily focuses on material preparation, representing a different technological direction from graphitization flue gas treatment. Regarding graphitization technology, US Patent 4394766 discloses a graphitization system, method, and apparatus for the production of graphite electrodes and other graphitized bodies, providing an improved graphitization process to enhance efficiency and product quality. International Patent WO2024221561A1 discloses a graphitization furnace and battery production system, improving the quality of graphitized products through improvements in furnace structure and electrode design. These patents primarily focus on optimizing the graphitization process itself and do not address flue gas treatment or waste heat recovery technologies. Chinese Patent CN102951914A discloses an electrode paste produced using industrial waste carbon materials and its preparation method, realizing the resource utilization of waste carbon materials. However, this technology is mainly applied to the field of electrode paste preparation, which differs from the technical route of graphitization flue gas treatment. European Patent EP4007017B1 discloses negative electrode materials for lithium-ion secondary batteries, focusing on controlling the graphitization degree of the negative electrode material (preferably above 93%) to improve battery capacity. However, it mainly focuses on material performance optimization and does not address environmental protection and energy conservation issues in the graphitization production process.

[0004] Based on existing technologies, the current graphitization process faces the following main technical challenges: First, the multi-pollutant treatment system for flue gas is fragmented. Graphitized flue gas contains particulate matter (mainly carbon black dust, concentration 300-800 mg / m³), sulfur dioxide (SO2, 500-1200 mg / m³), and nitrogen oxides (NOx). xThe flue gas contains a variety of pollutants, including volatile organic compounds (VOCs, 200-500 mg / m³) and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs, 5-20 μg / m³). Current technologies often employ a series process of "cyclone dust removal + wet desulfurization + low-temperature denitrification," which suffers from a mismatch in temperature requirements between the various treatment units. For example, SCR denitrification requires a reaction temperature of 300-350℃, while the flue gas temperature drops to 50-70℃ after wet desulfurization, necessitating additional fuel consumption to raise the temperature and increasing energy consumption. Simultaneously, asphalt fumes adhering to the surface of the denitrification catalyst shorten its service life by more than 50%, and dust entering the absorption tower easily causes nozzle blockage, increasing system operation and maintenance costs by 30%-40%.

[0005] Second, the utilization rate of waste heat resources is extremely low. The theoretical heat recovery potential of high-temperature flue gas at 800-1100℃ can reach 300-500 kWh / ton of anode material, but existing technologies utilize only a single method, mostly using shell-and-tube heat exchangers to generate low-pressure steam (0.3-0.8 MPa) for winter heating only, resulting in significant waste of heat energy. More importantly, the waste heat recovery system and the pollutant treatment system operate independently, failing to form a synergistic effect, resulting in an overall energy utilization efficiency of less than 20%, which is significantly lower than the theoretical recovery potential of 48.5% proposed in the aforementioned research paper.

[0006] Third, there is a lack of integrated system solutions. The relevant patents retrieved have significant limitations: CN106989606A, "A Graphitization Furnace Flue Gas Treatment and Waste Heat Utilization System," only uses a waste heat boiler to generate steam for preheating combustion air, failing to achieve high-quality energy output such as electricity, and does not address the deep treatment of VOCs and PAHs; CN202221449633U, "A Carbon Graphitization Tail Gas Treatment Device," uses an "adsorption-desorption-RTO" process to treat VOCs, but does not incorporate the high-temperature characteristics of the flue gas into its waste heat utilization scheme. The RTO device requires additional natural gas consumption, resulting in high operating costs. Existing technologies treat waste heat recovery and pollutant treatment as independent systems, failing to achieve dynamic matching and optimization of energy and material flows.

[0007] Therefore, the industry urgently needs an integrated technology that can realize the three-in-one approach of "waste heat cascade recovery - pollutant synergistic treatment - resource recycling" to break through the environmental protection and energy-saving bottlenecks of the graphitization process of negative electrode materials. Summary of the Invention

[0008] To address the aforementioned problems, the purpose of this invention is to provide a method for the efficient treatment and resource utilization of multiple pollutants in graphitized flue gas based on the cascade utilization of waste heat. This invention improves the overall waste heat recovery efficiency from 20% in the prior art to over 50% through a cascade utilization mode of high-temperature power generation, medium-temperature power supplementation, and low-temperature preheating.

[0009] The technical solution of this invention is: a method for efficient treatment and resource utilization of multiple pollutants in graphitized flue gas using waste heat as a negative electrode material, comprising the following steps: S1: High-temperature flue gas closed-loop collection and pretreatment, the specific process is as follows: The high-temperature flue gas generated by the graphitization process of the negative electrode material at 800-1100℃ is collected by a closed collection hood, and dust with a particle size ≥10μm is removed by a two-stage cyclone separator.

Subsequently, the flue gas enters the dual-alkali desulfurization tower and wet electrostatic precipitator for desulfurization and fine dust removal.

Internally, from top to bottom, it contains an SCR denitrification catalyst layer and an RCO catalytic oxidation catalyst layer.

[0015] The ORC generator set includes an evaporator, an expander, a condenser, and a working fluid pump. The ORC generator set uses R245fa as the working fluid, has a rated power of 500-900kW, a power generation efficiency of ≥10%, and an inlet flue gas temperature of 280-360℃.

[0016] The dual-alkali desulfurization method adopts a NaOH+Ca(OH)2 dual-alkali system, with NaOH concentration of 2%-3% and Ca(OH)2 concentration of 5%-8%, desulfurization efficiency ≥93%, and purity of by-product CaSO4·2H2O ≥88%.

[0017] The heat pipes of the heat pipe heat exchanger are made of carbon steel or stainless steel, and the working medium is water. It recovers waste heat from flue gas at 100-180℃, preheats the combustion air to 120-150℃ or heats the process water to 60-80℃, and the waste heat recovery rate is ≥55%.

[0019] The technical effects of this invention are as follows: 1. This invention, through a tiered utilization model of high-temperature power generation, medium-temperature supplementary power generation, and low-temperature preheating, increases the overall waste heat recovery efficiency from 20% to over 50% compared to existing technologies. Taking a 50,000-ton / year anode material production line as an example, the annual power generation can reach 20.8 million kWh, meeting 25%-30% of the production line's electricity demand, saving 7,500-8,000 tons of standard coal annually, reducing CO2 emissions by 20,000-22,000 tons, achieving energy self-sufficiency, and achieving a leapfrog improvement in energy utilization efficiency; 2. Based on the principle of temperature matching, this invention completes the removal of various pollutants in the optimal reaction temperature zone.
