Natural Graphite (historically named blacklead or plumbago), one of a class of nonmetallic minerals, is a soft lustrous black hexagonally crystallised form of carbon. The substance occurs in metamorphic and igneous rocks, in meteorites, in the minerals like calcite, tourmaline, quartz and specular stone. Its three types are found in various ore reserves, and include flake graphite, vein (slump) graphite, and amorphous graphite.
Natural Graphite is used in fireproof materials, steelmaking, batteries, brake shoes, furnishing materials, expanded and intercalated graphite, melting crucibles, pencils, lubricants, and electrodes, etc. Its natural component graphene possibly belongs within the hardest substances known. China is the globe’s largest Natural Graphite maker, comprising nearly 74 percent of total production and two thirds of overall exports. The nation is also the hungriest consumer, aiming to deepen its foothold in both manufacturing and export businesses moving forward.
