The race towards a green future is heating up, page-210

Ok here is a bit of a wrap of graphite for 2018,

Most learn't came from the Graphite conference by Benchmark Minerals in 2018 IMO

"Of the 1.20 MT of natural #graphite mined only about 380,000 tons is suitable as feed material for #lithium-ion batteries," says Richard Clark of Morgan Advanced Materials at #Benchmark2018

"The success of any large new mining venture in the near future is likely to be based on success in the #lithium #anode market or on capturing lower value markets in an environment of declining prices," says Richard Clark of Morgan Advanced Materials at #Benchmark2018

"#Graphite shows the best balance among the potential #anode materials," says Dr Joseph Li of @supergraphite at #Benchmark2018

"Natural #graphite has higher capacity, lower BET and lower cost. Synthetic #graphite has a longer cycle life and lower swelling," says Dr Joseph Li of @supergraphite at #Benchmark2018

"Blends of natural and synthetic #graphite will be more utilized to maintain high capacity, long cycle life and low cost," says Dr Joseph Li of @supergraphite at #Benchmark2018

"But natural #graphite needs to improve its cycle life, while synthetic graphite needs to improve graphitization degree," says Dr Joseph Li of @supergraphite at #Benchmark2018

"A good graphite anode is characterized by high crystalline structure, high purity, high density and high lithium permeability," says David Deak at #Benchmark2018

"The best out there today is a blend of natural and synthetic #graphite," says David Deak at #Benchmark2018

"In this space, progress is inevitable, but it never goes as planned," concludes David Deak at #Benchmark2018


Seems like MIN RES Has this Wrapped up with HZR and HXG on the books...


ALL IMO
