High Purity Graphite

(High Purity Graphite)

high purity graphite has a variety of uses in conductive, lubrication, and metallurgy applications. It has high hardness, toughness, tensile strength, and density. It is used in many industries including aerospace, nuclear, and automotive.

Graphite is manufactured using a chemical sequence that reduces the content of impurities. During the first step of the process, raw graphite is heated at high temperatures to a point where oxides from many impurities decompose and discharge. This allows the crystalline structure of graphite to develop.

Once the crystalline graphite has formed, the material is usually subjected to baking to remove volatile constituents from the melted carbon. Often, additional pitch is impregnated into the baked green article to fill any open pores that may be present.

The resulting carbonized nuclear graphite precursor is then graphitized to produce a highly isotropic graphite material for use in a wide range of nuclear applications. The high purity of the graphite produced by the process described herein is a significant advantage over the prior art method, which typically requires post-graphitization purification steps.

Synthetic Graphite Powder Manufacturers

Nano-scale synthetic graphite powder is a type of high purity graphite that has higher purity than natural graphite, but has a smaller particle size and thickness on a nanometer scale. It retains the planar carbon six-membered ring conjugate crystal structure of natural graphite and has good mechanical strength, electrical conductivity, thermal conductivity, lubrication, and corrosion resistance.

The global market for high purity graphite powder is anticipated to grow during the forecast period, as the market for lithium-ion batteries grows significantly. This increase is driven by the development of electric vehicles and technological advancements in the design of lithium-ion batteries.
