Alternative materials are proposed for the lateral thermal insulation in graphitization furnaces. It is possible to reduce the loss of heat and the consumption of electricity by using carbon dust for insulation, and it is also possible to use plates of thermally and electrically insulating carbon material to hold it in the furnace.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
