Published purpose
As part of the international consortium project “Power-Oriented Natural Graphite for Advanced Battery Systems”, this project will demonstrate the potential of graphite process fines for battery use. Figure 1 (see on attached proposal) shows the NGAM production flow for LIB anodes, starting with mining and beneficiation to extract flake graphite. After crushing, grinding, and flotation, purity reaches =97%. Micronization (6–20?µm) and spheroidization improve shape and performance but generate ~50% low-value fines. These are typically discarded. RAINCA and NGCBM aim to revalorize them into high-performance, battery-grade materials, supporting sustainable graphite use.
