About the Graphite

Graphite is a naturally occurring crystalline carbon with exceptional conductivity, thermal stability, and lubricity. Key varieties include high-value flake graphite (for battery anodes), lump graphite (refractories), and amorphous graphite (lubricants/foundries). Through beneficiation, carbon content can reach 99.99%, enabling lithium-ion batteries, advanced composites, and green tech applications.

Processing Technology
