is a carbonaceous element crystalline mineral, and the chemical composition of graphite is carbon. Its crystal lattice is hexagonal layered structure, which belongs to hexagonal system and has complete layered cleavage. Its natural floatability is very good. Graphite is soft, black and gray; Greasy, can contaminate the paper. The hardness is 1~2, and the hardness can be increased to 3~5 along the vertical direction with the increase of impurities. The relative density is 1.9 A 2.3. In the isolation of oxygen conditions, its melting point at 3000 degrees Celsius, is one of the most temperature resistant minerals. The graphite ore is divided into two main types: the scale of the Crystal graphite ore and the hidden clay of the Crystal graphite ore. With high temperature resistance, oxidation resistance, corrosion resistance, thermal shock resistance, high strength, good toughness, high self-lubricating strength, graphite or a good conductor of heat and electricity, the thermal conductivity also increased, and the thermal conductivity of graphite is opposite, the reaction occurs with strong oxidants (such as fluorine, chlorine trifluoride and potassium peroxide).

Graphite is often used as a lubricant in the machinery industry. Graphite wear-resistant materials can operate at temperatures of -200 to 2000 °c and at very high sliding speeds in the absence of lubricating oil. Graphite has good chemical stability, corrosion resistance and thermal conductivity, and is widely used in petrochemical industry, hydrometallurgy, acid-base production, synthetic fiber, paper and other industrial sectors, for the production of heat exchangers, reaction tanks, condensers, combustion Tower, absorption tower, cooler, heater, filter, pump, etc. Graphite has good performance of neutron deceleration, atomic reactor used as moderator, uranium graphite reactor is a more widely used atomic reactor. In the defense industry, graphite can be used to make nozzles for solid fuel rocket, nose cones for missiles, parts for Astronautical equipment, thermal insulation and anti-radiation materials. Semi-metallic friction materials are made for use in high-speed equipment such as brakes and clutch plates for aircraft, trucks, and off-road vehicles. Graphite is also a polishing agent and rust inhibitor for glass and paper making in light industry. It is a raw material for the manufacture of pencil, ink, black paint, ink and artificial diamond. Because graphite has many excellent properties, it is widely used in metallurgy, machinery, electrical, chemical, textile, national defense and other industrial sectors.
exposure to natural graphite may produce progressive or disabling pneumoconiosis, including Head Pain, Cough, depression, decreased appetite, Dyspnea, black sputum, some drug abusers may be asymptomatic for many years and then suddenly disabled. Artificial graphite can also produce pneumoconiosis. Staff should be protected. Do not contact with strong oxides such as fluorine, chlorine difluoride, and potassium peroxytetra chloride during storage and transportation.

The purified graphite is dried by air flow dryer, and then crushed to a particle size of 325 mesh with a universal pulverizer, and then pulverized by air flow, with a particle size of about 1.5u. The graphite powder pulverized by air flow is mixed with pure slurry and vibrated in the vibration mill for several days, and the material is classified according to different sedimentation velocities of different graphite particles in water.
