The application discloses a method for recovering
graphite from carbon residues of waste
lithium ion batteries and regenerated
graphite, and relates to the technical field of
lithium battery recycling. The carbon residues of waste
lithium ion batteries after acid leaching are subjected to heat treatment, in the heat treatment process, the inorganic impurities and organic impurities in the carbon residues can be dissociated into smaller particles, which is convenient for removal in subsequent processes; the
pyrolysis carbon residues obtained through heat treatment are subjected to scattering treatment and screening to obtain
small particle materials, and the excess
large particle impurities are removed; then, through
grinding and grading,
graphite coarse
powder with a particle size Dv50 of 12-15 mu m is obtained, and since the ash impurities are mainly concentrated in the
fine powder, the ash can be effectively removed after grading. The heat treatment-scattering, screening-
grinding and grading linkage technical means proposed in the application does not need to add additional chemical reagents, but only relies on several physical technical means, which not only can achieve the effect of removing ash impurities, but also can effectively remove
amorphous carbon, and the method is simple, easy to operate, safe and environment-friendly.
