The sample's particle size\ndistribution was determined to be mostly -50+80 mesh. Test results\nindicated low moisture and volatile content, with a high carbon\ncontent of 98.2%. The conversion process to expandable Graphite was\nsuccessful, achieving an expansion rate of 325 ml/g, indicating\nhigh-quality material. The carbon content remained high at 98.5%\npost-expansion, and the onset temperature for expansion was around\n200°C, consistent with the sulfuric acid/potassium permanganate\nmethod. Overall, the graphite sample shows excellent potential for\nexpandable graphite production.\n \n\n\n\n ProGraphite’s report summary states \"This is an\nexcellent result. In summary, it can be said that the material\nprovided be easily and without problems converted into expanded\nGraphite. The expansion rate achieved (as the most important quality\nparameter) is at a high level, the Graphite seems to be very suitable\nto be used as precursor material for the production of expandable\nGraphite.\" ProGraphite recommends as a next step testing Volt's\n+50 mesh graphite as it believes that an additional 20% expansion can\nbe achieved.\n \n\n\n\n President and CEO of Green Battery, Tom Yingling,\nstates, \"These impressive results underscore the exceptional\nquality of our Berkwood graphite, positioning us strongly in the\nmarket for expandable graphite production. The potential for even\nhigher expansion rates with further testing is particul...
