The invention discloses a low-density self-forming
graphite adsorption material for treating oil and
polymer organic matter pollution of a
water body and a preparing and recycling method of the low-density self-forming
graphite adsorption material. The preparing and recycling method comprises the following preparation steps: firstly, uniformly stirring
flake graphite, concentrated sulphuric acid and a
hydrogen peroxide mixture in an environment of smaller than or equal to 10 DEG C; secondly, transferring the obtained mixture to a die with a specific shape, and standing at
room temperature to obtain an expanded
graphite forming body; thirdly, baking the expanded graphite forming body and recycling
sulfuric acid. The graphite adsorption material prepared by the invention has the characteristic of
self forming under the condition of
room temperature without addition of a binder or
extrusion and has very high adsorption performance for oil and organic solvents; the density of the adsorption material is smaller than or equal to 0.1 g / cm<3>. According to the preparing and recycling method disclosed by the invention, the
sulfuric acid is recycled at low temperature while an expanded graphite adsorption material is prepared; the problem of environmental
pollution caused by treatment of acid-containing
wastewater in a traditional method of preparing expanded graphite is avoided. The adsorbed oil and organic solvents have excellent regenerating and reusing properties after
extrusion or suction filter
recovery.
