Graphite Chloride Roasting: Key Process Insights

Chlorination roasting method is a method used to purify graphite ore. By adding reducing agents and chlorine gas, chlorine combines with valuable metals in the mineral to form low melting point boiling point gas-phase or condensed phase metal chlorides, thereby achieving effective separation of graphite from other components

Process flow

1.Raw ore crushing：Crushing graphite raw ore into smaller particles for the subsequent chlorination roasting process.

2.Ingredients：Calculate the required amount of reducing agent (such as carbon powder, hydrogen gas, etc.) and chlorine gas based on the composition of the raw ore and the purity requirements of the target product, and proceed with the ingredients.

3.Chlorination roasting： Mix the prepared graphite ore and reducing agent, and perform high-temperature roasting in a specific environment (such as a furnace). At high temperatures, chlorine reacts with valuable metals in minerals to form low melting and boiling point metal chlorides.

4.Cooling and Collection：The material after chlorination roasting needs to be cooled to room temperature before collection. During this process, metal chlorides will precipitate in the form of gas or condensed phases and separate from graphite.

5.Washing and drying：The collected materials are washed to remove residual chlorine gas and metal chlorides, and then dried to obtain high-purity graphite products.

Technological advantages

1.High efficiency：The chlorination roasting method has a high purification efficiency and can effectively separate graphite from other components in a short time.

2.Low cost：Compared with other purification methods, the chlorination roasting method has lower consumption costs, which is beneficial for reducing production costs.

The chlorination roasting method also has some disadvantages and needs to be noted

1.Environmental pollution：The chlorine gas used in the chlorination roasting method has strong toxicity and corrosiveness, causing significant environmental pollution. Therefore, it is necessary to equip an effective exhaust gas treatment system to reduce its impact on the environment.

2.Safety issues：During the chlorination roasting process, chlorine gas and high-temperature environments may pose safety risks. Therefore, strict safety measures and emergency plans are needed.

Chlorination roasting method is an efficient and low-cost purification method, but attention should be paid to environmental pollution and safety issues. In practical applications, it is necessary to comprehensively consider costs, benefits, and environmental impacts to ensure the safety and environmental protection of the production process.
