    The difference and connection between graphite and graphene

    Time:2023.12.07Browse:1

    The main difference between graphite and graphene lies in their structure. Graphite is a two-dimensional material with a hexagonal lattice formed by carbon atoms, and is an allotrope of carbon. And graphene is a type of material composed of carbon atoms in the form of sp ² A two-dimensional carbon nanomaterial with a hexagonal honeycomb lattice composed of hybrid orbitals is a single-layer structure of graphite. Therefore, graphite can be seen as a stacked form of graphene.




    Graphene has some unique physical and chemical properties, such as excellent conductivity and thermal conductivity, high strength, high toughness, etc., making it have broad application prospects in energy, materials, electronics and other fields. Due to its structure, graphite mainly has excellent lubrication and wear resistance, and is commonly used in the manufacturing of lubricants and wear-resistant materials.




    Although there are significant differences in structure and properties between graphite and graphene, there is also a certain connection between them. Graphene can be seen as a component of graphite, and by peeling it layer by layer, a single layer of graphene can be obtained. In addition, one of the preparation methods for graphene is to grow it on the surface of graphite through chemical vapor deposition (CVD), thereby obtaining graphene.




    Overall, although graphite and graphene have similar elemental compositions, they exhibit different physical and chemical properties due to their different structures and morphologies, and have different applications in different fields.

    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.

    1. Use as conductive materialsWhen using an arc furnace or mineral heat electric furnace to smell all kinds of alloy steel, iron alloys or production stones (carbonized calcium), and yellow phosphorus, strong current passes through carbonic electrodes (or continuous self -roasting electrodes -that is, electrode paste) or graphite electrode introduction The melting area of the electric furnace generates an arc, which translates the electrical energy into thermal energy, and the temperature increases to about 2000 degrees Celsius, so as to meet the requirements of smelting or reaction. Metal magnesium, aluminum, and sodium are generally removed with melting salt electrolysis. At this time, the anode conductive material of the electrolytes use graphized electrodes or continuous self -baking electrodes (anode paste, sometimes pre -baking anode). The temperature of melting salt electrolytic is generally below 1,000 degrees Celsius. The anode conductive material for producing alkaline (sodi
