    1、 The Development History of Expanded Graphite

    The development of expanded graphite can be traced back to the 1960s, when scientists discovered that graphite can deform regularly within a certain temperature range, and the deformed graphite can remain stable. Subsequently, scientists discovered that under certain conditions, graphite at high temperatures can be used to manufacture various structures, which can be used to support larger weights, thus developing the technology of expanded graphite.

    2、 The use of expanded graphite

    Expanded graphite has a wide range of uses and can be used to manufacture various structures, such as bridges, buildings, etc. In addition, expanded graphite can also be used to manufacture electronic products, such as chips, printed circuit boards, etc. In addition, expanded graphite can also be used in space technology, such as spacecraft and space stations.

    3、 Steps for using expanded graphite

    Firstly, it is necessary to determine the temperature of expanded graphite. Generally speaking, the temperature range of expanded graphite is 400-800 ℃, within which the structure of expanded graphite can undergo changes. Secondly, place the expanded graphite at the specified temperature and wait for it to complete deformation. Once the deformation is completed, it can be used for manufacturing structures or electronic products. 3. Then, the expanded graphite can return to its original state after cooling, which can be reused multiple times, improving the efficiency of using the expanded graphite.

    4、 Advantages and disadvantages of expanded graphite


    Advantages: 1. It has excellent physical properties, such as resistance to high temperature, corrosion, and wear, and can meet the requirements of various special environments. 2. It can deform at high temperatures and be used to manufacture various structures, such as bridges, buildings, etc., which can support larger weights. 3. It can be restored to its original state after cooling and can be reused multiple times, improving the efficiency of using expanded graphite. Disadvantages: 1. The cost is relatively high, and not all applications can accept this cost. 2. The temperature range is also limited, and once it exceeds the temperature range, the expanded graphite will fail. 3. The required ratio may affect the performance of expanded graphite.




    The emergence of expanded graphite has brought convenience to our lives and also changed our way of life, making our lives greener and more energy-efficient. Its emergence has amazed people and given them greater aspirations. It has brought us infinite possibilities and made us believe that future technology will be more advanced, bringing us more miracles.

    Graphite flotation method

    Floating is a commonly used and important mineral method. Graphite has good natural floating. Basically, all graphite can be purified by floating methods. In order to protect graphite scales, most of the graphite flotation uses multiple sections of processes. Graphite flotation collecting agents are generally used for kerosene, with a dosage of 100 to 200g/t. The foaming agent is generally used with pine or butad ether, and the amount is 50 to 250g/t.

    Summary of the characteristics, distribution and purification process of scales graphite

    The scale graphite is high -pressure metamorphic. After weathering, it is generally blue -gray, yellow -brown or gray -white. It is mostly produced in tingling rocks, sliced rocks, crystalline litter and silicon hacks. Symbiosis is complicated, mainly consisting of sheet -like crystalline carbon, accompanied by long -stones, Yingshi, Black Cloud Mother, Pymaline Mine, Magnetic Yellow Elephant Mine, Golden Stone and other miscellaneous minerals. The graphite in the ore is a chip -like or blade -shaped, and the black or steel gray is mainly existing between the long stones, the time, the transparency of the pyroxyl, and the permeability of the glitter. It has obvious directional arrangement and consistent with the layer. Scales graphite is mostly natural crystal graphite with a layered structure and looks like fish scales. It belongs to the hexagonal crystal system. The crystalline state is good, the particle size is 0.05 ~ 1.5 microns, the thickness of the thin piece is 0.02 ~ 0.05 mm,
