    Expanded graphite, also known as flexible graphite or vermicular graphite, is a new type of carbon material. Expanded graphite has many advantages, such as large specific surface area, high surface activity, good chemical stability, and high temperature resistance. The commonly used preparation process for expanded graphite is to use natural flake graphite as the material, which is first oxidized to form expandable graphite, and then expanded to form expanded graphite. Expanded graphite materials can instantly expand by 150-300 times in volume when exposed to high temperatures, changing from flaky to wormlike, resulting in a loose structure, porous and curved structure, expanded surface area, improved surface energy, and enhanced adsorption of flake graphite. Wormlike graphite can be self embedded between them, making the material have functions such as flame retardancy, sealing, and adsorption. It has wide applications in fields such as life, military, environmental protection, and chemical engineering.


    Preparation method of expanded graphite


    Expanded graphite mostly uses chemical oxidation and electrochemical oxidation methods. The traditional chemical oxidation process is simple and has stable quality, but there are problems with acid waste and high sulfur content in the product. The electrochemical method does not use oxidants, and the acid solution can be recycled and reused multiple times. It has low environmental pollution and low cost, but the yield is low, and the requirements for electrode materials are high. Currently, it is only limited to laboratory research. These two methods, except for different oxidation methods, have the same post-treatment methods such as deacidification, water washing, and drying. Among them, chemical oxidation method is the most widely used method so far, with mature process and widespread promotion and application in industry.

    What should be paid attention to when processing refractory materials with flake graphite?

    Flake graphite is widely used in high-grade refractory materials and coatings in the metallurgy industry. It is like fish phosphorus, belongs to hexagonal crystal system, and has a layered structure. Below, we will provide a detailed explanation of the key points to pay attention to when processing refractory materials with flake graphite.

    Graphite products production and processing in the middle of pressure molding and extrusion molding method

    Modeling method is to put a certain total paste in the mold and specifications of the specified mold and specifications, and then press it from the top or below. Sometimes it also increases a certain working pressure on the paste from the left and right positions at the same time, so that the paste is reduced in the mold. The processing of semi -finished products has been checked by model refrigeration. Then accumulate. The molding machine equipment has a column -type pressure machine, which is also a stand -up pressure machine. Modeling method generally only press a piece of goods at a time, and the productivity is relatively low. However, it can be allowed to systematically squeeze and mold.The squeezing molding method is to squeeze the main cylinder of the paste of the paste -loaded manner. The pressure machine should be relatively installed in front of the previous installation and can be effectively disassembled and replaced. The front is equipped with a partition that can be mov
