    Analysis of Changes in Global Warming Potential during Enrichment and Production of Battery-Grade Graphite Using Electrothermal Fluidized Bed Technology
    (IOP Publishing Ltd, 2024) Hubynskyi, Semen M.; Sybir, Artem; Fedorov, Serhii S.; Usenko, Andrii Yu.; Hubynskyi, Mykhailo V.; Vvedenska, Tetyana
    ENG: The greenhouse gas emissions during the production of anode class graphite for the conditions of Ukraine have been calculated. Conventional technologies and technologies using electrothermal fluidized bed (EFB) for natural and synthetic graphite have been studied. Calculations are carried out with respect to the whole technological chain, starting from extraction and processing of raw materials and ending with finishing processing (coating). As a result, it is shown that the technology of using EFB for purification of natural graphite and graphitization of synthetic graphite is competitive in terms of global warming potential (GWP). In the production of natural graphite using thermal purification with EFB instead of chemical purification, emissions of greenhouse gases practically remain at the same level. At the same time, the use of acids is eliminated, and the environmental impact associated with them is reduced. Production of synthetic graphite of anodic quality in EFB furnaces allows to reduce greenhouse gases (GHG) emissions by 40-50% in comparison with traditional graphitization technologies in Acheson and Kastner furnaces. The effect is achieved by reducing energy and raw material consumption.

    Effect of Parameters of the Anthracite Heat Treatment on the Properties of Carbon Materials during Shock Heating
    (Ukrainian State University of Chemical Technology, Dnipro, Ukraine, 2022) Sybir, A. V.; Hubynskyi, M. V.; Balalaiev, K. B.; Burchak, O. V.; Sukhyy, K. M.; Fedorov, Serhii S.; Pinchuk, Valeriia O.; Hubynskyi, Semen M.; Vvedenska, T. Y.
    ENG: The aim of the study was to experimentally determine the effect of the heat treatment parameters of anthracites from Donetsk basin on the properties of carbon materials when using shock heating, typical of furnaces with a fluidized electrothermal bed. Anthracite was treated in an electric thermal furnace at the heating rate of 1000 K/min and the holding time of 10–20 min. The processing temperature range was 1500–30000Ñ. For processing, we used initial anthracites and anthracites after calcination at 1100–12000Ñ. The properties of the carbon material were investigated by X-ray radiographic analysis, XRF analysis and diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform. It was found that precalcination did not produce any effect on the properties of anthracite carbon materials during shock heating and holding time less than 1 hour. Based on the results of studies of anthracite heat treatment while changing the holding time, the following kinetic characteristics of transformations during shock heating were determined: the pre-exponential coefficient of 1.79 and the apparent activation energy of 103.85 kJ/mol. Thermal processing of anthracite from Donetsk coal basin in electric furnaces with the fluidized bed at the temperature 30000Ñ for 55–60 min allows obtaining the crystalline structure characteristic of artificial graphite with necessary electroconductivity and element composition.

    Peculiarities of High-Temperature Refining of Carbon Materials
    (Ukrainian State University of Chemical Technology, Dnipro, 2023) Sybir, A. V.; Hubynskyi, Semen M.; Fedorov, Serhii S.; Sukhyy, Kostyantyn M.; Hubynskyi, M. V.; Vvedenska, T. Y.
    ENG: The purpose of the study was to determine the influence of the main following factors on the efficiency of the process of high-temperature refining of natural and artificial graphite: processing temperature, distribution of metal oxides, and changes in the aggregate state of ash impurities. Thermal processing of natural graphite from Ukrainian deposits and anthracite from Donetsk coal basin was carried out in a chamber furnace at a holding time of 10–20 minutes in a temperature range of 1500–30000 Ñ. The quality of refining was carried out by ICP-OES and XRF analysis methods. It was established that the refining process may be divided into three following periods: 0–16000 Ñ (removal of moisture, volatiles, and decomposition of carbonates); 1600–26000 Ñ (evaporation of main ash-forming metals Fe, Si, Al, Ca, Mg in the form of oxides, silicides, and carbides); and 2600–30000 Ñ (evaporation of refractory compounds Ti, V, Mo, the content of which in the initial raw material determines the processing temperature and the quality of the final product). The distribution of metal oxides in the initial carbon material is not uniform, which complicates the use of equilibrium state models. The transition of ash into the liquid and then gaseous state has a significant impact on the result of heat treatment. This is what determines the choice of the process scheme. Intermittent process is the heating by an external heater in an inert gas environment. Continuous process is the heating of the material in moving containers or processing in an electrothermal fluidized bed.
