Graphite: Unique Structure Provides for Specific Characteristics and Forms of Graphite & Carbons

Graphite
Graphite

One of the most fascinating substances on the planet is Graphite. It can be found naturally in the form of a mineral or made synthetically. The first use of charcoal may be traced back to primordial man, who drew on cave walls with it. Egyptians also used it to embellish pottery. Charcoal was employed as a refractory to line moulds throughout the Middle Ages in order to produce smoother cannonballs that could be fired further. Charcoal has been mistaken for other minerals throughout history, particularly galena and molybdenum. The mineral has been given names such as plumbago and black lead, and through time, the phrase graphite (meaning "to write") has come to be used to characterize it.
Characteristics

The hue of Graphite ranges from grey to black, and it has a metallic shine. With a Mohs hardness of 1 to 2, it is a relatively soft crystalline form of carbon. At normal temperatures, charcoal is stable and chemically inert, but in the absence of air, it has an extremely high sublimation point. It is odorless, tasteless, and harmless in its purest form. It features a hexagonal, multi-layer planar microstructure that provides it a number of distinct properties that cannot be found in any other single material. The layers are alternating and honeycomb-shaped, with 1.42 angstroms between them (strong bonds) and 3.354 angstroms between them (weak bonds).

This unique structure provides for specific characteristics such as:
  • Lubricity
  • Thermal Conductivity
  • Chemical Inertness
  • Electrical Conductivity
Especially charcoal powder, have both Primary and Secondary Properties, making them useful in a wide range of applications. The Secondary Properties of Lubricity, Reactivity, Resiliency/Strength, and Conductivity are determined by the Primary Properties of Impurities, Graphitization, Particle Size Distribution, and Morphology in combination, as shown below.

Forms of Graphite & Carbons

Natural Graphite kinds, such as amorphous graphite, crystalline flake and vein charcoals, and synthetic (made) graphite, as well as purified or processed charcoal products, are all part of the charcoal family. These materials are supplied from carefully selected and qualified mines and sources around the world, or are produced or treated in a variety of innovative ways, including Superior charcoal Electro-Thermal Treatment/Purification Technology.
