The invention relates to the technical field of
graphite purification, in particular to a
graphite purification process and
graphite. The purification process comprises the following steps: mixing a graphite
raw material with a
hydrochloric acid solution, carrying out first-time
acid treatment, and carrying out first-step
water washing to obtain a first intermediate material; mixing the first intermediate material with an alkali solution, and
roasting to obtain a roasted material; adding the roasted material into a reaction kettle, and carrying out second-step
water washing under the conditions of mechanical stirring and
ultrasonic oscillation until the roasted material is neutral, so as to obtain a second intermediate material; mixing the second intermediate material with a
hydrochloric acid solution, performing secondary
acid treatment, and performing third-step
water washing and
drying to obtain graphite. According to the graphite purification process, an alkali-acid method purification process is adopted, the process is few,
energy consumption is low, cost is low, the amount of generated waste acid and waste alkali is small, a mechanical stirring and ultrasonic water washing method is adopted for roasted materials after
roasting, washing of Na, Si and other elements in the roasted materials can be accelerated, the use amount of water in the water washing process can be reduced, and the
discharge amount of waste water is reduced.
