Things to Know about Characterization and Beneficiation of Natural GraphitesAbstract: Making high-value products from natural graphite requires fine-tuned beneficiation processes. Both the type of graphite and the specialities in pricing of graphite products need to be considered during flowsheet development. This paper starts with an overview of the characterization of the different types of graphite, followed by the comminution, beneficiation and refining processes of natural graphite in general and with focus on flake graphite. The paper concludes with current research activities at the Chair of Mineral Processing at Montanuniversität Leoben in the field of natural graphite processing.Dipl.-Ing. W. Lämmerer ( )
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.
