Description
Preparation method of isostatic graphite with superfine structure Technical Field The invention relates to the technical field of isostatic pressing graphite preparation, in particular to a preparation method of superfine structure isostatic pressing graphite. Background The isostatic graphite is a high-density isotropic graphite material obtained by taking petroleum coke or asphalt coke as a raw material, calcining, crushing and grinding the raw material, mixing and kneading the raw material with melted bonding asphalt at a certain temperature to obtain paste, and then carrying out secondary grinding, isostatic compaction, roasting, dipping, graphitization and other processes. Graphene is considered one of the most desirable enhancers because of its unique properties. However, how to uniformly disperse graphene in aggregate powder such as micron-sized petroleum coke, asphalt coke and the like faces a great technical challenge, which severely restricts the full play of the reinforcing effect thereof. At present, most of the adopted mixing processes are a one-step direct mixing method, namely, graphene and all aggregates are put into mixing equipment at one time for mechanical stirring. On the one hand, the method has a single mixing flow, cannot realize step-by-step homogenization from macroscopic to microscopic, and often requires extremely long mixing time for pursuing uniformity, so that the production efficiency is low. On the other hand, when graphene and aggregate are mixed in a conventional one-step manner, uncontrollable agglomeration is easy to occur, and agglomerates which are difficult to disperse are formed, and the agglomerates cannot play a role in reinforcement, but become stress concentration points, so that the reliability of a graphite product is seriously deteriorated. Disclosure of Invention Aiming at the defects in the prior art, the invention provides a preparation method of ultra-fine structure isostatic graphite, which aims to solve the problems that graphene in the existing one-step mixing is low in dispersion efficiency and easy to agglomerate, so that the reliability of a product is affected. In order to achieve the above purpose, the technical scheme adopted by the invention is as follows: the preparation method of the isostatic graphite with the superfine structure comprises the following steps: step S1, aggregate preparation, namely mixing petroleum coke or pitch coke semicoke superfine powder a with the average particle size of 2-5 mu m with calcined powder or graphite powder b with the average particle size of 2-5 mu m according to the weight ratio of (0.8-1.2) to obtain basic aggregate; step S2, gradient mixing, namely adding graphene accounting for 1% -3% of the total weight of the basic aggregate, and mixing by adopting a gradient mixing method; The gradient mixing method comprises the following steps: S21, premixing 40% -60% of basic aggregate and all graphene to prepare master batch; step S22, finally mixing the master batch with the rest of basic aggregate to obtain composite reinforced aggregate; Step S3, kneading, namely adding coal pitch into the composite reinforced aggregate as a binder, wherein the softening point of the coal pitch is 110-190 ℃, and kneading at a certain temperature to obtain paste; Step S4, pressing powder, namely cooling and crushing the paste, and grinding the paste to obtain paste powder with the average particle size of 15-45 mu m; Step S5, isostatic compaction, namely filling the paste powder into a rubber mold, and maintaining the pressure for 5-15 minutes under the isostatic pressure of 120-160MPa to obtain a green body; step S6, roasting, namely carbonizing the green body in an oxygen-isolated environment; and S7, graphitizing, namely placing the carbonized product into a graphitizing furnace for graphitizing treatment. According to the invention, a gradient mixing method is adopted, namely, about half of basic aggregate and all graphene are premixed to prepare master batch, and then final mixing is carried out, so that the dispersion is more uniform, the enhancement effect of the graphene is fully exerted, and the problems that the graphene is easy to agglomerate and difficult to uniformly disperse in micron powder are effectively solved through a stepwise dilution mechanism. Optionally, in the step S3, nano nickel catalyst accounting for 0.1% -1% of the weight of the coal pitch is pre-dispersed in the coal pitch, and the coal pitch is kneaded in a kneader for 0.5-1.5 hours at the temperature of 180-260 ℃ to obtain the catalytic paste. Optionally, the particle size of the nano nickel catalyst is 20-100 nm, and the nano nickel catalyst is uniformly dispersed in coal tar pitch preheated to liquid state by ultrasonic oscillation for more than 30 minutes. The nano nickel catalyst is introduced in the kneading stage, so that the coal pitch can be catalyzed to be converted into more ordered carbon structures in the subsequent carbonization pro
