Graphite production refers to the process of extracting and processing graphite, a naturally occurring form of carbon known for its high conductivity, lubricating properties, and ability to withstand high temperatures. The primary methods of producing graphite include mining natural graphite from deposits and manufacturing synthetic graphite through the heating of carbon-rich materials. The production process involves several steps, including extraction, milling, and purification to ensure the graphite meets the desired specifications for various applications. Graphite is widely used in industries such as battery manufacturing, lubricants, steelmaking, and as a component in certain types of electronic equipment due to its unique properties. Sustainable practices in graphite production are increasingly important as demand for high-quality graphite continues to rise, particularly with the growth of renewable energy technologies and electric vehicles.
Solidion Technology, Inc. is taking proactive steps to address the growing battery materials supply shortage by planning to build a graphite production facility in the Southeast United States. The facility,…
