Definitions
- the present invention relates to an improved method of producing purified graphite and relates particularly, though not exclusively, to such a process for producing battery-grade spherical purified graphite (SPG).
- SPG battery-grade spherical purified graphite
- Spherical graphite is manufactured from flake graphite concentrates in which the flakes have to be rounded to produce rounded particles of graphite.
- the spherical graphite can be spread thinly and uniformly during the manufacturing process and is used for the anode material in lithium ion batteries.
- Spherical purified graphite (SPG) is sold as either a coated or uncoated product.
- Uncoated SPG is manufactured by micronizing, rounding and purifying flake graphite. The bulk of natural, uncoated SPG is currently manufactured in China due low labour costs and weak environmental regulations.
- the micronized, rounded graphite is chemically purified from 94% to 99.95% C using strong hydrofluoric and other acids. Impurities will have a deleterious effect on battery performance.
- hydrofluoric acid typically employed in the prior art purification process is also highly toxic and hazardous to use. A great deal of effort is therefore being expended to find a more cost-effective, non-toxic and environmentally sustainable process for the purification of spherical graphite.
- a front-end step of subjecting the spherical graphite material to a caustic bake typically comprises mixing the spherical graphite material with liquid NaOH (50% w/w) and heating the mixture in a furnace or kiln.
- the present invention was developed with a view to providing an improved method by incorporating a more efficient solid-solid phase front-end alkali bake.
- a method of producing purified graphite comprising the steps of: mixing graphite material with a solid phase alkali to form a homogenous solid alkali-graphite mixture; subjecting the solid alkali-graphite mixture to an alkali bake; releasing any remaining alkali using water; subjecting the graphite material to a first acid wash; neutralising and washing the acid washed graphite material to deliver an intermediate purified graphite product; subjecting the intermediate purified graphite product to an alkali leach; releasing any remaining alkali in the intermediate purified graphite product using water; subjecting the intermediate purified graphite product to an acid wash; and, neutralising and washing the intermediate purified graphite product to deliver a final purified graphite product.
- the step of subjecting the solid alkali-graphite mixture to an alkali bake comprises heating the mixture in a furnace.
- the alkali is sodium hydroxide (NaOH).
- the solid phase NaOH is >99.0% pure and is in the form of solid flake, powder or mini pearl sized between 0.5- 0.9mm.
- the graphite material is mixed with the pure NaOH in a high shear mixer to provide homogeneity in mixing.
- the high shear mixer is a planetary type mixer or conical screw type mixer.
- the mixture is mixed in the high shear mixer for a period of 30 to 60 minutes and then fed into the furnace.
- the ratio of the solid NaOH to graphite material is 0.33kg of pure NaOH per 1 .0 kg of graphite material.
- the mixture is heated to a temperature of between 450° C and 600° C.
- the mixture is heated for between approximately 30 to 60 minutes.
- the mixture is heated to 500°C for 30 minutes.

- the step of releasing any remaining NaOH also releases any soluble sodium silicates (Na2SiOa) and sodium aluminates (NaAIOs) that are formed during the NaOH bake.
- the step of releasing any remaining NaOH and soluble silicates (Na2SiOa) and aluminates (NaAIC ) formed during the NaOH bake comprises immersing the baked material in a hot water quench.
- the material is washed and filtered.
- the material is washed and filtered in a wash neutral step at ambient temperature to 80°C, for 5-10 minutes, using 2.0 to 7.0 parts by volume of H 2 O.

- the diluted acid mixture comprises 2.0 to 5.0 parts by volume of H2O and between 0.15 and 0.25 parts by volume H2SO4 96%.
- the diluted acid mixture comprises 4 parts by volume H2O and 0.17 parts by volume H2SO4 96%.
- the first acid wash is performed at elevated temperatures in the range of approximately 70°C to 90°C to increase reactivity. More preferably the first acid wash is performed at an elevated temperature of 80°C.
- the graphite material is subjected to an acid wash for 25 to 45 minutes.
- the step of neutralizing and washing the acid washed graphite material comprises the filtering the material at ambient temperature and final washing with water at elevated temperatures respectively.
- the final washing with water occurs at 85°C for 30 minutes using 20 parts by volume H2O.
- the step of neutralizing and washing the material comprises washing the acid washed graphite material in 3 to 7 parts by volume H2O for 3 to 7 minutes while stirring at ambient temperature to generate an intermediate purified graphite product with a purity of +99.4%C.
- the step of subjecting the intermediate purified graphite product to an alkali leach comprises immersing the intermediate purified graphite product in 0.05 to 0.15 parts parts by volume alkali (99%) with 2.0 to 4.0 parts by volume H2O at low temperature.
- alkali is sodium hydroxide (NaOH).
- NaOH leach takes place at temperatures in the range of 72°C to 88°C.
- residence time for the NaOH leach is 1 .5 to 2.5 hours.
- the intermediate purified graphite product is preferably neutralized and washed, before it is subject to an acid wash step in a diluted acid mixture, where a very low concentration of H2SO4 is sufficient.
- the acid wash of the intermediate purified graphite product is performed with a diluted acid mixture comprising between 2.0 and 4.0 parts by volume H2O and 0.01 to 0.04 parts by volume H2SO4 96%. More preferably the diluted acid mixture comprises 2.5 parts by volume H2O and 0.03 parts by volume H2SO4 96%, and the acid wash is performed at elevated temperatures in the range of approximately 77°C to 93°C to increase reactivity.
- the acid wash of the intermediate purified graphite product is performed at an elevated temperature of 80°C for approximately 35 minutes.
- the only reagents used are NaOH in the alkali bake and alkali leach steps, and H2SO4 in the acid wash steps.
- the intermediate purified graphite product is finally washed in a water bath and neutralized with water after the acid wash step.
- carbon content of the final purified graphite product can be increased to 99.97%.
- alkali refers to any of the soluble hydroxides of the alkali metals, including lithium, sodium and potassium, suitable for carrying out the alkali bake or alkali leach.
- Figure 1 is a process flow diagram illustrating an embodiment of the method of producing purified spherical graphite according to the present invention.
- One embodiment of the method 10 of producing purified graphite in accordance with the invention comprises the step of subjecting unpurified spherical graphite (SPG) 12 to a molten-salt solidsolid phase alkali bake, as shown at 18.
- the starting material 12 is typically 1 part w/w SPG to 20 parts w/w un-purified spherical graphite material.
- the step of subjecting the spherical graphite material to an alkali bake comprises premixing the graphite material at 14 with pure alkali to form a homogenous mixture and heating the mixture in a furnace or kiln.
- the alkali is sodium hydroxide (NaOH).
- the solid phase NaOH is >99.0% pure and is in the form of solid flake, powder or mini pearl sized between 0.5-0.9mm.
- the graphite material is premixed with the pure NaOH in a planetary type, or conical screw, high shear mixer to provide homogeneity in mixing.
- the mixture is premixed in the high shear mixer for a period of 30 to 60 minutes and then fed via a screw feeder at 16 into the furnace or kiln.
- the ratio of the solid NaOH to graphite material is 0.33kg of pure NaOH per kg of graphite material. The solid mixture is observed to be thoroughly homogeneous as the NaOH solid appeared to be well integrated with the graphite. There was no stratification of the solids at the bottom of the mixer.
- the mixture is heated to a temperature of between 450° C and 600° C.
- the mixture is heated for between approximately 30 to 60 minutes.
- the weight of the material was checked before and after the heat treatment at different temperatures. The results indicate that no graphite burns at a process temperature of 500°C if the residence time does not exceed 45 minutes. More preferably the solid mixture is heated to 500°C for 30 minutes. After the alkali bake at 18 the material has a homogenous solid but friable consistency.
- NaOH melts at around 318°C with the NaOH mixing within the kiln to initiate the removal of impurities in the graphite, in the bed of the kiln, which is at a temperature of 500°C.
- Mixing of the dry solids enables better introduction to the kiln of the graphite and alkali mixture with the mixing of the molten alkali and graphite promoted by the temperature and residence time in the kiln.
- the method further comprises the step 20 of releasing any remaining NaOH and soluble sodium silicates (Na2SiOa) and sodium aluminates (NaAIOs) that were formed during the baking process, using water.
- the step 20 of releasing any remaining NaOH and soluble silicates (Na2SiOa) and aluminates (NaAIO2) formed during the NaOH bake comprises immersing the solid baked material in water for about 10-45 minutes. Typically this is done in warm water, for example, water heated to between 40°C to 85°C.
- 1 part baked spherical graphite material is immersed in from 3 to 20 parts by volume H2O. In this embodiment 1 part baked spherical graphite material is immersed in 17 parts by volume H2O at about 85°C, for 30 minutes.
- the material is washed and filtered.
- the material is washed and filtered in a wash neutral step 22 at ambient temperature to 80°C, stirring for about 3-10 minutes, using 2.0 to 7.0 parts by volume of H2O. More preferably the wash neutral step 22 is performed at ambient temperature, stirring for about 5 minutes, using 2.3 parts by volume of H 2 O.
- the method preferably further comprises the step of subjecting the baked graphite material to a first acid wash at step 24.
- the step of subjecting the graphite material to an acid wash comprises washing the material with a diluted acid mixture comprising water and H2SO4.
- the diluted acid mixture comprises 2.0 to 5.0 parts by volume of H2O and between 0.15 and 0.25 parts by volume H2SO4 96%.
- the diluted acid mixture comprises 4 parts by volume H2O and 0.17 parts by volume H2SO4 96%.
- the first acid wash is performed at elevated temperatures in the range of approximately 70°C to 90°C to increase reactivity. More preferably the first acid wash is performed at an elevated temperature of 80°C.
- the graphite material is subjected to an acid wash for about 25 to 45 minutes.
- the first acid wash step 24 is followed by another wash neutral step 26.
- the step 26 of neutralizing and washing the acid washed graphite material comprises the filtering the material at ambient temperature and final washing with water at elevated temperatures respectively.
- the step 26 of neutralizing and washing the material comprises washing the acid washed graphite material in 3 to 7 parts by volume H2O for 3 to 7 minutes while stirring at ambient temperature.
- the wash neutral step 26 comprises stirring the acid washed graphite material in 3 parts by volume H2O at ambient temperature for 5 minutes while stirring.
- this is followed by the final washing with water in water bath 28 at ambient temperature for 20 minutes using 3.3 parts by volume H2O to generate an intermediate purified graphite product with a purity of +99.4%C.
- the method 10 further comprises a second stage which begins with the step 30 of subjecting the intermediate purified graphite product to an alkali leach.
- the alkali leach step 30 comprises immersing the intermediate purified graphite product in 0.05 to 0.15 parts by volume NaOH (99%) with 2.0 to 4.0 parts by volume H2O at low temperature.
- the alkali leach takes place at temperatures in the range of 72°C to 88°C.
- the residence time for the NaOH leach is about 1.5 to 2.5 hours. More preferably the NaOH leach step 30 is performed at 80°C for about 120 minutes.
- the intermediate purified graphite product is preferably neutralized and washed in wash neutral step 32, water bath 34 and wash neutral step 36, before it is subject to a second acid wash step 38.
- the acid wash step 38 is performed in a diluted acid mixture, where a very low concentration of H2SO4 is sufficient.
- the diluted acid mixture comprises between 2.0 and 4.0 parts by volume H2O and 0.01 to 0.04 parts by volume H2SO4 96%. More preferably the diluted acid mixture comprises 2.5 parts by volume H2O and 0.03 parts by volume H2SO4 96%.
- the acid wash step 38 is performed at elevated temperatures in the range of approximately 77° C to 93° C to increase reactivity.
- the acid wash of the intermediate purified graphite product is performed at an elevated temperature of 80°C for approximately 35 minutes.
- the only reagents used are NaOH in the alkali bake and alkali leach steps, and H2SO4 in the acid wash step.
- the intermediate purified graphite product is finally neutralized and washed with water after the acid wash step in wash neutral steps 40 and 44 and a water bath 42.
- wash neutral step 40 comprises washing the acid washed intermediate purified graphite product with 3.5 parts by volume H2O at ambient temperature for 5 minutes with stirring.
- the acid washed intermediate purified graphite product is then preferably subject to washing with water in water bath 42 using 3.3 parts by volume H2O at 80°C for 30 minutes.
- Final wash neutralisation in preferably occurs in wash neutral step 44 using 5 parts by volume H2O, 2 times 10/2 each, for 5 minutes with stirring.
- the above method 10 involves a relatively simple process, and the carbon content of 99.97% achieved by this process indicates that the purification is very intensive, with only 300 ppm of remaining impurities.
- the preferred method has the advantage of overcoming feed problems by conveying a dry mix of alkali (NaOH) and graphite to the furnace or kiln.
- the mixing of dry materials in a high shear mixer also provides ease of material flow.
- the method comprises a multi-step and multi-parameter (temperatures, residence time, concentration of acids and caustic, volume of wash water, etc.) process, and therefore sophisticated optimization will undoubtedly yield further improvements in purity and cost savings.
- the process described is applied to unpurified SPG, it is not limited to spherical graphite but could also be applied using other types of flake graphite as a precursor material, such as screened fractions of a flake graphite concentrate or a by-product from spherical graphite production. Therefore, it will be appreciated that the scope of the invention is not limited to the specific embodiments described.
