Yang [21] utilized the two-stage roasting combined with hydrochloric acid leaching process to recover spent graphite. Similarly, Ni'mah [22] introduced a method by leaching with H 2 SO 4 coupled with low-temperature roasting to purify graphite. However, low-temperature roasting (400 °C–500 °C) does not achieve the effect of structural repair.
