Graphite
|
Graphite is elemental carbon that crystallizes in the hexagonal system as six-sided platelets. It occurs natu-- rally and is mined and made artificially from petroleum coke in the form of shapes (electrodes) and powders.
The market for most kinds of graphite in most end uses was very poor during 2001. And the potential for any implementation of fuel cell technology involving natural or synthetic graphite became more remote. In July or August 2002, a new outlook will be posted on the W...

Influence of Chemical Compositions of Slag and Graphite on the Phenomena Occurring in the Graphite/Slag Interfacial Region
Metallurgical and Materials Transactions
; Silica reduction reactions taking place in the slag/carbon interfacial region were investigated for synthetic/natural graphite in the temperature range 1500 C to 1700 C. Two silica-rich blast furnace slags, with low levels of iron oxide, were used in this study. Silica concentration in these slags,
