Synthetic Graphite and Natural Graphite

Natural graphite is booby-trapped while synthetic graphite is produced from petroleum feedstocks. Both accoutrements are largely reused to yield a purified, mulled, spheroidized, and carpeted product. Natural graphite has to be booby-trapped and concentrated while synthetic graphite must be graphitized atca.,000 °C. Purified natural flake graphite exhibits a much advanced crystalline structure than synthetic and is thus more electrically and thermally conductive. Unlike synthetic, its capability to be molted and also pressed into wastes makes it the favored structure for heat cesspools, energy cells and gaskets.
