Technical Field

Background
The graphite has the advantages of higher specific capacity, low charge and discharge platform, stable circulation, low cost and the like, and is the most mainstream cathode material in the current lithium ion battery manufacturing. The graphite negative electrode material is divided into artificial graphite and natural graphite, and compared with artificial graphite, natural graphite has the advantages of low manufacturing cost, good low-temperature performance, good processability and the like, but is slightly lower than the artificial graphite negative electrode material in the aspects of rate performance, cycle performance, high-temperature performance and the like. Both have advantages and are suitable for different application occasions. The natural graphite has the advantages of no need of graphitization, safety and stability of an industrial chain supply chain and the like, the permeability in various application fields is gradually improved, and accordingly, the demand for upstream raw materials of the natural graphite cathode is continuously increased.
The upstream raw material of the natural graphite cathode is natural graphite ore which is naturally formed under special geological conditions such as high temperature, high pressure and the like, and the structure is lamellar graphite crystal. Naturally occurring graphite is rarely pure and typically contains impurities including metal oxides of silicon, aluminum, magnesium, calcium, and the like, and non-metal oxides of phosphorus, sulfur, vanadium, and the like. When the material is used as a battery cathode material, a purification step is needed first to ensure that the purity of the material meets the battery grade use requirement. At present, most of spheroidized materials for natural graphite cathode production are purified by mixed acid consisting of hydrochloric acid, nitric acid and hydrofluoric acid, and the deep impurity removal purpose can be realized by at least two acid treatments, so that the problems of long process flow, large waste acid amount, large treatment capacity of salt-containing wastewater and the like are caused. Therefore, the method simplifies the impurity removal process of the natural graphite and reduces the discharge of three wastes in the purification process, which is a technical problem to be solved urgently in the field.
