Natural Graphite Processing Flow
Raw Material
Natural graphite anodes are made by spheroidizing, purifying, coating, and carbonizing flake graphite. Known for their cost-effectiveness, they are widely used in 3C products and are seeing growing adoption in power batteries as R&D investment increases.
Crushing
The composite crusher crushes natural graphite through high-speed centrifugal collisions and repeated internal friction. A closed-loop system with screening ensures efficient size reduction and consistent particle size.
Mechanical Spheroidization
The shaping machine and ring roller mill spheroidize flake graphite, enhancing surface area, density, and electrochemical performance. A closed-loop system ensures consistent particle size through repeated collisions and precise screening.
Purification
Natural graphite is purified—typically to over 99.95%—by chemical, thermal, or combined methods to remove ash, metals, and other non-carbon impurities, improving electrochemical performance and stability. It is then crushed in a high-speed system where repeated collisions and a closed-loop process ensure precise and consistent particle size.
Surface Modification
The coating and granulation rotary kiln modifies the surface of spherical graphite by forming a uniform amorphous carbon layer. This coating repairs structural defects and shortens lithium-ion diffusion paths, enhancing initial coulombic efficiency, cycling performance, and overall electrochemical kinetics.
High Temperature Carbonization
The high-temperature carbonization rotary furnace heats pitch- or resin-coated graphite below 1200 °C to prevent solvent co-intercalation, improving rate capability and cycling stability of the anode material.
Screening & Demagnetization
The final product handling line integrates screening, blending, demagnetization, and packaging for natural graphite. Using a sealed negative-pressure pneumatic system, it minimizes dust and contamination while ensuring efficient processing. All operations are centrally managed through a unified digital control system for remote monitoring.
