The invention discloses a method for preparing high-purity low-
sulfur expanded
graphite, which belongs to the preparation method of expanded
graphite. The existing chemical method of the present invention to prepare expanded
graphite has the technical problems of low product purity and high production cost. The method of the present invention: 1. high-temperature purification of
phosphorus flake graphite; 2. putting it into a
polypropylene mesh bag, soaking it in
peroxide water, and lifting it to pour water; 3. wrapping the graphite block with a
polypropylene mesh bag as an
anode, and putting In the graphite
electrolytic cell, then inject the
electrolyte solution, use graphite as the
cathode, and then electrolyze. During the
electrolysis process, the
polypropylene mesh bag is inflated and stirred; 4. Constant temperature
drying and expansion; that is, high-purity low-
sulfur expanded graphite is obtained. The method of the invention is simple and easy to operate, and the degree of intercalation can be controlled by adjusting the current intensity and
electrolysis time, and the prepared high-purity expanded graphite is low in
sulfur, and there is no
pollution to the
water body during the washing process, and no other impurities are doped in the product. The invention uses a small amount of oxidant to trigger, little or almost no
pollution in production, and relatively low production cost.
