Graphite Processing

By NanoSpire, Inc.

Graphite has been processed with unprecendented results by NanoSpire ultra high-shear technology. Flake graphite with 140 um particle size was reduced to 9 microns in one pass. 5 micron graphite was reduced to 0.5 um in one pass. The 0.5 um graphite was then processed into the low nanometer range. Compare to other typical methods which can require 100 passes to reduce graphite from 9 microns to 3 microns. Low nanometer graphite using our proprietary process control was transformed into spheres ranging from 10 nanometers up to 100 nanometers, including 24.7 microns in size, the ideal diameter for coating electric car battery anodes. High Shear Processing Advantages: - 4X Greater Shear Rates - 16 X Greater Impact Energy - Lower Equipment Cost/Throughput - Energy Consumption 100X Less than other Current High Shear Technology - Ultra High Repeatability, Control and Reliable Scale-up - Smaller Footprint & Less Weight - Achieve Low Nanometer Particle Size Distributions with any Material - Less Wear, Lower Maintenance, Easier Cleanup
