Sample material taken from the Lower Graphite Layer (LGL) at the Amitsoq Island deposit, part of the flagship Amitsoq Graphite Project in South Greenland ('Amitsoq'), has been tested to assess its ability to produce spherical graphite.\n \n \n \n \n \n Spherical graphite is used by Electric Vehicle (\"EV\") battery manufacturing companies as the anode material in an EV battery. The anode sector is the fastest growing market for graphite and the ability to upgrade natural graphite to a high purity spherical graphite product is a prerequisite for entry into that market. GreenRoc is delighted to announce that the micronisation and spheronisation test work conducted by ProGraphite confirms that Amitsoq graphite easily upgrades to a spherical graphite product.\n \n \n \n \n \n \n Key Points\n \n \n \n ·\n Graphite concentrate\n from Amitsoq is very suitable for micronisation and spheronisation, with a high-quality spherical graphite easily produced and exhibiting good commercial properties.\n \n \n ·\n A primary concentrate product of at least 96.5% graphite can be achieved with relatively little processing.\n \n \n ·\n The concentrate micronised easily and with relatively little energy input, resulting in a very uniform micronised material.\n \n \n ·\n Two spherical graphite products were then produced, with median diameters of 15 and 19 micrometers, respectively.\n \n \n ·\n The physical target values for spherical graphite, such as narrow particle size distribution and high tap density, were achieved and exceeded.\n \n \n \n \n \n \n GreenRoc's CEO, Stefan Bernstein, commented:\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \"The suc...
