The initial purification process includes the process of crushing which releases the graphite flakes from the mineral parent rock. This helps improve the beneficiation efficiency. The size of the flakes and the carbon content of the sourced graphite are the most important factors in determining the final grade of the graphite.
Crystalline graphite has good natural flotability, and flotation methods are basically used for ore beneficiation. Since the size of graphite flakes is one of its most important quality indicators, a multi-stage grinding and multi-selection process is used in the selection method to separate large flake graphite as soon as possible. (2 ...
Northern Graphite has performed chlorination testing at Hazen Research facilities that has succeeded in purifying spherical graphite 99.99% graphitic carbon ("Cg") and large flake graphite to 99.83% Cg. Requirements of battery manufacturers vary in particle size and purity, with the latter specification usually in the 99.9–99.95% Cg range.
Balama graphite mine will become the world's largest natural flake graphite producer and have the greatest impact on the global graphite market. Balama graphite ore also contains vanadium ore resources. The grade of V2O5 reaches 0.23%. Vanadium can be recovered from graphite beneficiation tailings, which will further improve the company's ...

A graphite ore with ultra-large flakes (ULFG) found in China (Wulate County, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, China), was first jaw-crushed and pneumatically separated to remove rocks, before being subjected to two froth-flotations and finally leached with NaOH and HCl to a purity of 99.9%. The purified ULFG was used to prepare exfoliated …
As the high value and the scarcity of large-flake graphite ore resources, it is in the best interest to maximize the amount of large flakes and minimize any processing that will reduce flake sizes.
