15 slides from First Graphene's conference presentation, November 2016
Slide 1: Emerging Producer of High Quality Graphene and High Grade Vein Graphite
EMERGING PRODUCER of HIGH QUALITY GRAPHENE and HIGH GRADE VEIN GRAPHITE November 2016
Slide 2: Toward the Commercialisation of Graphene: Using High Grade Vein Graphite
Toward the Commercialisation of Graphene: Using High Grade Vein Graphite in its production How to produce high quality material? On a large scale? At a low cost? In a reproducible manner? These are the Holy Grails of graphene producers and potential consumers the world over 2
Slide 3: Barriers to Developing Markets
Barriers to Developing Markets A recent paper from The Graphene Council highlights the matters we are seeking to address The cost of materials – production process and resultant high cost of production Production scale – demand will require 1,000’s of tonnes and current production capacities are
Slide 4: Current Pricing Models
Current Pricing Models A web search for on-line graphene provides a multitude of products and pricing. One such example has “Dispersible Single layer Graphene with high surface area” for sale at a mere US$360 per 500mg. This equates to US$720,000,000 per metric tonne – completely uncommercial
Slide 5: Current Supply Models
Current Supply Models Most current suppliers produce graphene via one of the following methods Chemical exfoliation Chemical Vapour Deposition Mechanical shearing in stabilising liquids Plasma arc reactors Some of these methods are scalable and some are restricted to laboratories and the kit
Slide 6: First Graphite Model
First Graphite Model Source of our competitive advantage is the high grade of Sri Lanka’s graphite. Approximately 20-25 kg of Sri Lankan vein graphite with a grade >95%TGC 6
Slide 7: First Graphite Model
First Graphite Model Source of our competitive advantage is the high grade of Sri Lanka’s graphite. Highest grade - >92% TGC as mined. No chemical processing required so nothing to interfere with graphene production Unique structure – not a flake graphite but a crystalline structure Low level
Slide 8: What Does this Mean for Graphene Production
What Does this Mean for Graphene Production Yield We currently achieve 80% or greater conversion of graphite to graphene 1 tonne (1,000 kg) of 95% TGC ore will produce 760 kg of graphene platelets. The highest conversion rate in the world. By way of comparison flake producers are yielding <10% o
Slide 9: What Does this Mean for Graphene Production
What Does this Mean for Graphene Production Large Platelet Size Again, the unique raw material when combined with our process that is producing large size platelets between 45µm and 78µm on a regular basis. Test work undertaken at the University of Adelaide demonstrated the quality of the prepar
Slide 10: Large graphene platelet size
What Does this Mean for Graphene Production Large graphene platelet size 10
Slide 11: Changing the Cost Structure
Changing the Cost Structure Capital Cost Phase 1 of our production unit is simple and has a low capital entry. Operators do not require specialist training Small foot print enables easy installation in a client’s premises Competitive Advantage Scalable units can be installed and expanded to
Slide 12: What are we doing next?
What are we doing next? FGR are now consistently producing quantities of high quality, low cost graphene Phase 2 will address methodologies for screening and sizing, washing and drying of the graphene being produced. Bulk packaging of graphene products, tonnes not kg’s. Several methods are u
Slide 13: Toward the Commercialisation of Graphene: In Summary
Toward the Commercialisation of Graphene: Using High Grade Vein Graphite in its production In Summary producing high quality graphene Control of high grade raw material is the precursor to this product Production process is scalable for production of the quantities which will be required by in
