BENEFICATION OF GRAPHITE ORE
(CAPACITY: 1000 TON/PER MONTH)
[CODE NO. 1764]

Graphite is one of three pure forms of carbon (C, atomic number 6), the others being diamond and fullerenes. It is grey to black in colour, opaque, and often has a metallic lustre. It is a soft, light mineral, is flexible but

not elastic and has a high melting point of 3,390°C. Graphite’s layer atomic structure is responsible for many of its unique properties. It exhibits both metallic and non-metallic properties, including high thermal

resistance, lubricity, inertness as well as thermal and electrical conductivity. The focus of this work is natural graphite.

Owing to its diverse properties, graphite is used in a wide variety of applications. Most of graphite usage today is in refractory applications. Other key industrial applications for graphite include lubricants, steelmaking,

metal casting, brake linings. Due to its combination of conductivity and high thermal stability, graphite is also used in fuel cells, batteries and pebble bed nuclear reactors. An important emerging use for graphite is for

lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries used in hybrid and electric vehicles. Future demand for graphite will increase significantly when electric vehicles gain market momentum.
