DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (a) Technical Field of the Invention The present invention relates to expanded graphite used, for example, in elastic sealing materials, and more particularly to a method for producing expanded graphite with high corrosion resistance.

(B) Background of the Invention In the commonly used method for producing expanded graphite, finely ground graphite particles are treated with acid, washed with water, and then heated to obtain a desired expanded graphite.

However, in such a manufacturing method, 3000 to 5000 PPm of sulfur-based impurities such as sulfur and sulfur compounds are interposed in graphite as thermal decomposition products of sulfuric acid, which is the main component of the acid treatment solution.
When the expanded graphite formed in this manner is used, for example, as a material for a sealing material, sulfur-based impurities in the expanded graphite cause corrosion of the metal material between the sealing surfaces. In addition, when expanded graphite is used as a catalyst carrier or a material for batteries, the sulfur-based impurities cause problems in terms of its functionality, so there are restrictions on its use.

Therefore, it is desirable to suppress the presence of sulfur-based impurities as much as possible, but currently, from a commercial standpoint, a method that does not use sulfuric acid has not been realized, and various attempts have been made to desulfurize expanded graphite. However, the reality is that no inexpensive means of desulfurization has yet been obtained.

Graphite particles with a particle size of 60 mesh are finely ground using an acid treatment solution made by adding 5% by weight of oxalic acid to a mixed acid treatment solution of 2500g of 98% sulfuric acid and 500g of 61% nitric acid.
When 100g of the material was acid-treated (immersed) for about 6 hours, then washed with water, and heated in a high-temperature atmosphere of 400 degrees Celsius or higher, it was expanded and molded to about 100 times the size of a caterpillar. Expanded graphite was obtained.

As is well known, when the above-mentioned oxalic acid is heated,
Because it has the property of decomposing into carbon dioxide and formic acid, and when heated with concentrated sulfuric acid, it decomposes into carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, and water. Oxalic acid coexisting with sulfur decomposes and combines with sulfur, removing sulfur as H 2 S and SO 2 . This includes carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen (C,
Active hydrogen produced by decomposition of an organic acid as a compound consisting of three elements (H, O) by co-heating action,
This is to remove sulfur and sulfur compounds such as carbon monoxide that have intervened in graphite as H 2 S and SO 2 .

When heated, formic acid decomposes into carbon dioxide and hydrogen, and when concentrated sulfuric acid is added and heated, carbon monoxide is generated.

Thus, organic acids have remarkable desulfurization effects. Compounds consisting of the three elements C, H, and O include carbohydrates such as saccharides, alcohols, etc., and have a certain degree of desulfurization effect, but especially organic acids such as oxalic acid and formic acid, and their organic acids. Esters have a remarkable desulfurization effect and are suitable from the viewpoint of handling and cost.

The amount of oxalic acid added above varies depending on the mixed acid concentration, etc., but if it is less than 3% by weight, the desulfurization ability will be weak, and if it exceeds 30% by weight, it will interfere with acid treatment. 3 to 30% by weight is suitable for obtaining a desulfurization effect.

Furthermore, since the desulfurization treatment described above can be carried out along with the heating process for expansion molding of graphite particles, no new treatment process is required, and the desulfurization treatment can be performed efficiently by simply adding an organic acid or organic acid ester to the mixed acid treatment solution. Desulfurization treatment can be performed.

With this method of manufacturing expanded graphite, active sulfur and sulfur compounds are removed by vaporization, and as a result of measuring the sulfur content in the expanded graphite obtained, it was found that the sulfur content was as low as 500 PPm or less. It was recognized that it was high quality expanded graphite.

In addition, in the above-mentioned example, an organic acid (oxalic acid) was added to the mixed acid treatment solution, but this is not the only option, and even if an organic acid or its ester is added to the washing water, the organic acid will not be present in the graphite during the washing process. Therefore, a similar desulfurization effect can be obtained during the subsequent heating process.
