Popis: Highly-expandable graphite was prepared by chemical oxidization using flake graphite as the host material and waste liquid propellants of nitric-27S,potassium permanganate,sulfuric acid and acetic acid as guest compounds.Various factors influencing the volume expansion were studied,such as the amounts of potassium permanganate,nitric-27S and acetic acid.Optimum preparation conditions were obtained using orthogonal experimental design.The preparation of graphite intercalation compounds was confirmed by SEM and XRD.Results showed that the most expandable graphite with a expansion volume of 320 mL·g-1 was obtained at 40 ℃ for 90 min using flake graphite,potassium permanganate,nitric-27S,sulfuric acid and acetic acid in the following respective amounts: 1 g,1 g,1.25 mL,1.25 mL and 2 mL.The amount of potassium permanganate is the most important factor affecting the expansion volume.
