[0034] Please refer to Figure 1 In this embodiment, the negative electrode graphite recovery system is used for the recovery of waste negative electrode graphite, including a separation reactor 100, a first centrifuge 200, an impurity removal reactor 300, a second centrifuge 400 and a waste liquid collection unit 500, wherein: the separation reactor 100 includes a separation reactor body, a separation device and a water inlet pipe 160, the separation device is arranged in the separation reactor body, the separation device is provided with a receiving chamber for accommodating the waste negative electrode graphite, and a first feed port and a first discharge port connected to the receiving chamber, the water inlet pipe 160 is used to supply liquid to the receiving chamber; the first centrifuge 200 is provided with a second feed port, a second discharge port and a first liquid discharge port 202 , the second feed port is connected to the first discharge port, and the first drainage port 202 is connected to the waste liquid collection unit 500; the impurity removal reactor 300 includes a reactor body 310, and the reactor body 310 is provided with a third feed port, a third discharge port and at least one injection port 360, the third feed port is connected to the second discharge port, and the injection port 360 is used to supply a solvent that can dissolve impurities in the waste negative electrode graphite; the second centrifuge 400 is provided with a fourth feed port, a fourth discharge port and a second drainage port 402, the fourth feed port is connected to the third discharge port, and the second drainage port 402 is connected to the waste liquid collection unit 500.

[0035] The negative electrode graphite recovery system in this embodiment firstly vibrates and separates the graphite from the waste negative electrode graphite through the separation reactor 100, and uses a cleaning liquid to carry the graphite to the first centrifuge 200 downstream, at which time the waste negative electrode sheets can be recovered, and the first centrifuge 200 rotates so that the graphite is filtered and dried, and the liquid is poured into the waste liquid collection unit 500, and then the dried graphite flows into the downstream decontamination reactor 300, and a solvent for dissolving impurities is poured into the decontamination reactor 300, so as to remove impurities in the graphite and purify the graphite, and then the graphite flows into the downstream second centrifuge 400 together with the solvent and graphite, and the second centrifuge 400 dries the graphite by centrifugal action, and the generated waste liquid is collected in the waste liquid collection unit 500, and then the graphite is rinsed and repeatedly dried, and the waste liquid generated by drying can be passed into the separation reactor 100 for reuse.

The first centrifuge 200 and the second centrifuge 400 can be, for example, fully automatic scraper unloading centrifuges, and the impurity removal reactor 300 can be, for example, a paddle-type stirring stainless steel reactor, which is not specifically limited here.

[0037] Please continue to refer to Figure 1 Optionally, the separation device includes a water barrel 110, a dehydration barrel and an agitator 130, the accommodating chamber is located in the dehydration barrel, the dehydration barrel is arranged in the water barrel 110, and there is a gap between the dehydration barrel and the water barrel 110, the agitator 130 can act on the waste negative electrode graphite in the dehydration barrel, and the wall of the dehydration barrel is provided with a plurality of dehydration holes. The separation reactor 100 in this embodiment uses the agitator 130 to stir the mixture of the cleaning liquid and the waste negative electrode graphite. Driven by the cleaning liquid, the graphite flows into the gap between the dehydration barrel 120 and the water barrel 110, while the large pieces of negative electrode sheets are blocked by the dehydration holes and remain in the dehydration barrel 120, thereby improving the purity of the collected graphite, thereby simplifying the subsequent processing flow and improving the collection efficiency.

[0038] In this embodiment, the first discharge port is arranged at the bottom of the water barrel 110; the first discharge port arranged in this way is more in line with the trend and direction of liquid flow, ensuring that the liquid containing graphite is discharged from the water barrel 110 as much as possible, thereby improving the collection efficiency.

[0039] Optionally, the water inlet pipe 160 is arranged above the separation device; the water inlet pipe 160 is arranged above the separation device, which is convenient for introducing cleaning liquid into the separation reactor 100. Further, without being bound by theory, the impact force of the water flow can be used to flush the waste negative electrode graphite, thereby further improving the separation efficiency of graphite and waste negative electrode.

[0040] Furthermore, an ultrasonic generator 140 may be provided on the outer wall of the water storage tub 110; the ultrasonic generator 140 uses ultrasonic waves to vibrate the waste negative electrode graphite, thereby separating the graphite from the negative electrode sheet, and further improving the separation efficiency. The ultrasonic generator in the present invention may be a commercially available product, and the location of the ultrasonic generator 140 may also be adjusted as needed, which is not limited here.

[0041] Furthermore, the water inlet pipe 160 may be sleeved with a first heater 150; the first heater 150 can heat the liquid flowing into the separation reactor 100 through the water inlet pipe 160, thereby making it easier for graphite to be separated from the negative electrode sheet, thereby shortening the separation time.

[0042] Furthermore, a first screen is provided on the wall of the dehydration barrel, the specification of the first screen is 350 mesh to 500 mesh, and the aperture of the first screen is smaller than the aperture of the dehydration hole. The first screen can also block larger negative electrode sheets and fragments of negative electrode sheets to prevent them from flowing into the downstream processing system, thereby further improving the purity of the collected graphite and improving the collection efficiency.

[0043] In this embodiment, the first centrifuge 200 and the second centrifuge 400 both include a centrifuge body 210, and a filter screen, a scraper 220 and a washing pipe arranged in the centrifuge body 210. There is a gap between the filter screen and the centrifuge body 210. The scraper and the washing pipe are located in the filter screen. The scraper is used to scrape off the attachments on the inner wall of the filter screen. Specifically, the washing pipe of the first centrifuge 200 is the first washing device 201 here, and the washing pipe of the second centrifuge 400 is the second washing device 401 here; the first washing device 201 or the second washing device 401 is used in conjunction with the scraper 220 to scrape off and clean the graphite attached to the filter screen in the centrifuge body 210 as much as possible, collect graphite as much as possible, and have a higher recovery rate.

[0044] like Figure 1As shown, the centrifuge body 210 is provided with a material level detector 203, and the material level detector 203 is used to detect the thickness of the attachments on the inner wall of the filter. The material level detector 203 can detect the thickness of the attachments on the filter to prevent the material from being overweight when the equipment is running; and when the material reaches a certain thickness, the first centrifuge 200 and the second centrifuge 400 start to run at high speed to dry the graphite, which improves the collection efficiency, does not cause energy waste, and reduces the cost of graphite recovery. The material level detector 203 in the present invention can adopt, for example, a commercially available ultrasonic material level sensor, a capacitive material level sensor, etc., which is not limited here.

[0045] Further, a discharge valve 230 is provided below the centrifuge body 210 of the first centrifuge 200 and the second centrifuge 400, and a discharge bin 240 is provided downstream of the discharge valve 230. The discharge bin 240 of the first centrifuge 200 is connected to the impurity removal reactor 300. The discharge valve 230 is specifically a pneumatic valve, which generates negative pressure to suck graphite into the discharge bin 240 below, thereby completing the collection and discharge of graphite, and the working efficiency is higher.

[0046] Please continue to refer to Figure 1 The impurity removal reactor 300 includes a reactor body 310, a stirrer 320 and a second heater 330. The stirrer 320 is disposed in the reactor body 310, and the second heater 330 is disposed on the reactor wall of the reactor body 310. The second heater 330 can be disposed on the inner wall or outer wall of the reactor body 310, and no specific limitation is made here. After the solvent is introduced into the reactor body 310, the second heater 330 is turned on to heat the solvent in the reactor body 310, so that the impurities in the graphite are fully dissolved, leaving only graphite particles, thereby improving the purity of the recovered graphite.

[0047] In this embodiment, the reactor body 310 is further provided with a heat-insulating layer 340 , which surrounds the reactor body 310 , and is used to insulate the solvent in the reactor body 310 , thereby reducing energy loss during heating by the second heater 330 .

[0048] Furthermore, the reactor body 310 is provided with a plurality of injection ports 360, which are used to introduce a plurality of solvents for dissolving impurities one by one. Due to the different types of impurities, different types of solvents can be introduced through a plurality of injection ports 360 to completely dissolve the impurities in the graphite, thereby further improving the purity of the graphite.

[0049] In this embodiment, the above-mentioned waste liquid collection unit 500 includes a first waste liquid barrel 511, a second waste liquid barrel 512 and a third waste liquid barrel 513, and the above-mentioned third waste liquid barrel 513 is connected to the above-mentioned water inlet pipe 160; the above-mentioned first discharge port 202 of the above-mentioned first centrifuge 200 is connected to the above-mentioned first waste liquid barrel 511; the above-mentioned second discharge port 402 of the above-mentioned second centrifuge 400 is connected to the above-mentioned second waste liquid barrel 512 and the above-mentioned third waste liquid barrel 513 respectively. Specifically, the first liquid discharge port 202 is connected to the first waste liquid barrel 511, and the waste liquid is pumped into the first waste liquid barrel 511 through the first magnetic pump 521; a second magnetic pump 522 is provided downstream of the second liquid discharge port 402, so as to pump the waste liquid into the second waste liquid barrel 512 or the third waste liquid barrel 513; a third magnetic pump 523 is provided between the third waste liquid barrel 513 and the water inlet pipe 160 of the separation reactor 100, so as to pump the waste liquid in the third waste liquid barrel 513 into the separation reactor 100 for reuse. By collecting and reusing the waste liquid separately, the wastewater treatment amount and difficulty are reduced, and the cost is reduced.

[0050] The following is a detailed description of the working process of the negative electrode graphite recovery system:

[0051] First, the separation reactor 100 is opened, and the recycled waste negative electrode graphite is put into the dehydration barrel 120 of the separation reactor 100. There are dehydration holes on the wall of the dehydration barrel 120, and a first screen with a mesh size of 350 to 500 is provided. Then, the separation reactor 100 is closed, and water is poured into the reactor. The cold water is heated by the first heater 150 and enters the water bucket 110 in the reactor through the water inlet pipe 160. The stirrer 130 starts stirring at a low speed, and the ultrasonic generator 140 is turned on to separate the graphite from the electrode piece. Then, the stirrer 130 starts to run at a high speed, so that the liquid with graphite is discharged and enters the first centrifuge 200. At the same time, the first centrifuge 200 starts to run at a low speed, and the mesh size of the filter bag in the first centrifuge 200 is greater than 1500 mesh.

[0052] After the liquid in the separation reactor 100 is drained, water is continuously injected and the ultrasonic generator 140 and the stirrer 130 are turned on for stirring 2 to 3 times to recover as much graphite as possible; and only the pole pieces are left in the separation reactor 100, which can be recycled.

[0053] The material level detector 203 in the first centrifuge 200 detects the thickness of the material on the filter screen in the centrifuge body 210 to prevent the material from being overweight when the equipment is running, and stops feeding when the material reaches a certain thickness. Then the first centrifuge 200 starts to run at high speed to dry the graphite, and the generated waste liquid is discharged through the drain port and then pumped into the first waste liquid barrel 511 through the first magnetic pump 521 to collect the waste liquid.

[0054] After the graphite material in the first centrifuge 200 is dried, the material is scraped off by the scraper 220. After scraping, the first washing device 201 is opened to rinse the inner wall of the centrifuge body 210. After the graphite is completely rinsed off, the pneumatic valve is opened to allow the graphite to enter the discharge bin 240 and then enter the impurity removal reactor 300.

[0055] At this time, different injection ports 360 are opened, different solvents are injected into the decontamination reactor 300, and the agitator 320 and the second heater 330 are turned on to fully dissolve the impurities in the graphite in the solvent, wherein the temperature sensor 350 is used to monitor the temperature in the decontamination reactor 300, and the insulation layer 340 is used to reduce energy loss. After the dissolution reaction is completed, the graphite material is discharged through the discharge port into the second centrifuge 400, and the second centrifuge 400 starts to run at a low speed, and the waste liquid is discharged through the second discharge port 402 and pumped into the second waste liquid barrel 512 through the second magnetic pump 522.

[0056] After the materials in the decontamination reactor 300 are discharged, the second centrifuge 400 starts to run at high speed to dry the materials; then the second washing device 401 injects water into the centrifuge body 210 of the second centrifuge 400, and the second centrifuge 400 starts to run at a low speed. After a certain period of time, the water injection is stopped, and the materials are dried by high-speed operation. This is repeated 3-4 times, and the waste water generated by the water washing is pumped into the third waste water bucket through the second magnetic pump 522; the waste water in the third waste water bucket can be reused and pumped into the separation reactor 100 through the third magnetic pump 523.

[0057] Finally, after the water washing in the second centrifuge 400 is completed, the scraper 220 of the second centrifuge 400 scrapes off the graphite material, opens the pneumatic valve, and the graphite material enters the discharge bin 240 of the second centrifuge 400. Finally, the graphite material is collected and dried and used again in actual battery production to achieve graphite recycling.

[0058] Obviously, the above embodiments of the present invention are merely examples for the purpose of clearly illustrating the present invention, and are not intended to limit the implementation methods of the present invention. For those skilled in the art, various obvious changes, readjustments and substitutions can be made without departing from the scope of protection of the present invention. It is not necessary and impossible to list all implementation methods here.
