Description
Technical field
The present invention relates to the technical fields of carbon material, graphite material and natural graphite ore dressing.Specifically, the present invention describes
From the device and method of graphite flake removal of impurity by for being subjected to centrifugal acceleration by making the mixture of graphite flake and water.
Background technology
Graphite, as the most common polymorph of naturally occurring crystalline carbon, many different products (such as accumulator,
Refractory material, electric product, etc.) production in be widely used.Graphite is a kind of unique material, because as covalent object
Matter does not answer conduction, however it is really conductive.Graphite is pure carbonizable substance, three covalently bondeds wherein in its valence electron to three
A other carbon atoms.However, the 4th valence electron is unfettered, and therefore can move freely.Such valence electron allows electric current to exist
Certain party flows upwardly through graphite mass.
Rock material and the other impurity being present in graphite are natural insulator, and electric conductivity is good unlike graphite
It is good.Therefore, as concentration of carbon increases and rock material concentration reduces, the electric conductivity of graphite crystal also increases, this is because graphite
Better than the excellent conductivity of rock material.
Pure graphite is attributed to low-surface-energy and has natural hydrophobicity on fracture plane.Therefore, conventional, mostly
The common commercial graphites purification process of number is to pass through flotation.However, although graphite has natural floatability, from such as feldspar, stone
English, mica and carbonate gangue mineral separation usually require use chemical interface activating agent and inhibitor, this make processing compared with
It is expensive and have an impact to ecology.In addition, graphite is only capable of being purified to by flotation the degree of the carbon no more than 95%, and flotation it
Afterwards, some impurity distribution returns in graphite flakes.Other methods of purification of graphite are related to acid leaching and basic roasting, not only
Costliness, but also environmental pollution may be caused.
Therefore, the demand that high-grade graphite is produced by energy-efficient and environmentally friendly technology is very big.In recent years, it is selected in graphite
It is increasing to the interest of microwave heating in mine.Microwave irradiation has many advantages, because it allows quick and selective add
Heat, at the same it is still environmentally friendly.However, the method needs highly complex equipment, thus it is with high costs.Other isolation technics include
Gravity Separation, the separation of two liquid and film flotation.Although these technologies quite have foreground, additional numerous studies and phase are needed really
When big investment.With the development of graphene, the demand to graphite constantly increases.This fact has been pushed to new graphite ore recently
The exploration of bed.Due to these graphite deposits usually it is low than the graphite grade currently produced, strongly need using new method come
Graphite products quality is kept, while containing ore-dressing technique cost.

The present invention be directed to for by centrifugal acceleration to be applied to the mixture of graphite flake and water from natural graphite
The device and method of piece removal of impurity.
The main idea of the method and apparatus proposed is that centrifugal force is applied to the flowing reactive being placed in equipped with rotary blade
The mixture of water and graphite flake in device.In the case where being moved with higher linear velocity, graphite flake is impinging one another；Therefore, make
Rock material is obtained from graphite flake leaching to go out.In addition, the centrifugal acceleration of high speed causes graphite flake to be vortexed in the reactor, to
Lead to the friction level higher of graphite-water, and then enhances removal of the rock material from graphite flake.
With reference to figure 1, rotary blade 1 and 4, which generates, is applied to the centrifugal acceleration of working solution, working solution or substantially exist
It is collided at the point of impingement 2.Internal diameter of the diameter of impeller 1 and 4 generally similar to reactor 3；In this way, providing no more than between 0.8mm
Gap.
In an exemplary embodiment, by mixing 15kg in 100L water and there is the natural graphite of 98% carbon content
Preparation work solution.Then make the working solution with the speed of about 20 meter per seconds at a temperature in the range of in 40 to 50 DEG C
Pass through flow reactor.Aforementioned processing persistently carries out about 15 minutes, hereafter, working solution is divided into two using general purpose centrifuge
Point：Relatively small portion and relatively most of.Once complete solution of processing, i.e., be dehydrated the watery slurry of gained, and from
The pulp separation obtains the graphite flake with high-carbon content (up to 99.8%).Compared with original graphite, gained graphite is led
Electrically increase 30% to 35%.
In other exemplary embodiments, working solution can be made of 100 parts of water and 10 to 20 parts of graphite, and be applied high
Up to the linear velocity of the centrifugal acceleration and up to 40 meter per seconds of 20g, reach the speed within the scope of 30 to 50 meter per seconds.
