Flake Graphite Processing

Flake graphite is extracted from graphite mines and processed through a series of steps. Since the types of ore mined vary, the processing of flake graphite must be tailored to the specific characteristics of the graphite ore. So, how should this be done? Let’s take a brief look at flake graphite below.

Since the types of ore mined vary, the processing of flake graphite must be tailored to the specific characteristics of the graphite ore. So, how should this be done? Let’s take a brief look at flake graphite below.

1. Beneficiation and processing methods for amorphous flake graphite.

Amorphous graphite crystals are very small, so it is also known as microcrystalline graphite. Graphite particles are typically embedded in clay, making them difficult to separate. Since the raw ore has a high grade (generally high in carbon), many graphite mines directly crush the mined ore and sell it as graphite powder.

2. Beneficiation and processing methods for crystalline graphite in flake graphite.

Crystalline graphite possesses good natural buoyancy and is primarily used in China. Since particle size is one of the most critical quality indicators for graphite flakes, multi-stage grinding is employed in the sorting process to select large graphite flakes at an early stage.

3. Purification and Processing of Flake Graphite Products.

Modern industry demands two key characteristics from graphite products: first, large, high-purity flakes; and second, ultra-fine particle sizes.

The above covers the key knowledge regarding flake graphite, and we hope it proves helpful. Our company was established in April 2000 and is located in Pingdu City, Qingdao, Shandong Province—a nationally renowned source of high-quality flake graphite. With over 30 years of experience in graphite mining, beneficiation, and deep processing, as well as a strong technical team, we possess an annual ore processing capacity of over 1.5 million tons. with an annual production capacity of over 50,000 tons of medium-to-high carbon flake graphite, over 10,000 tons of spherical graphite, over 2 million tons of crushed stone, and over 1.5 million tons of tailings sand. We hold one mining license and employ over 400 staff members, including more than 90 technical experts and over 40 managers. We sincerely welcome friends from all sectors, as well as new and existing clients, to visit and inspect our facilities. We look forward to sincere cooperation and mutual benefit.
