High Purity Graphite
high purity graphite is a high-tech material with various applications. It is mainly used in metallurgy, chemical industry and aerospace. Its advantages include high strength, compact and uniform structure, good wear resistance, excellent electrical and thermal conductivity and low linear expansion coefficient. It can be easily processed into a variety of shapes and is widely used in metallurgy, aerospace, machinery, nuclear energy, electronic industry and other fields.
Currently, the global high purity graphite market is growing rapidly due to rising demand for lithium-ion batteries in electric vehicles. The batteries need high-purity graphite to increase their power storage capacity and improve efficiency, resulting in longer battery life and greater productivity. Moreover, new innovations have enabled longer battery life and better performance of batteries, driving the market growth.
The high purity graphite market is also driven by the growing demand for lithium-ion batteries in consumer electronics, including mobile phones and tablets. The technology has allowed for improved battery performances, which are more efficient and last longer than previous generations. Increasing battery usage and technology expansion will further drive the market growth.
High-purity graphite is typically made from a mixture of needle petroleum coke and pitch coke. Needle petroleum coke has a low ash content (generally less than 1%), is easy to be graphitized at high temperature, and has good mechanical strength. Pitch coke is added to provide a higher level of graphitization and enhance the mechanical properties of the finished product.
