Zentek's Albany Graphite Attains Further 5N Purification Milestone
Purification Achievements: Albany Graphite, in collaboration with American Energy Technologies Company, has successfully purified a second batch of graphite to an ultra-high purity level of 99.9992 wt.% C, meeting the nuclear industry's stringent specifications for boron concentration.
Process Significance: The electrothermal Fluidized Bed Reactor purification process developed by AETC demonstrates reproducibility and avoids halogen gases, reducing costs and environmental risks, while establishing Albany graphite as a viable alternative to synthetic graphite for nuclear applications.
Ongoing Testing: Additional testing is being conducted on Albany graphite to assess its performance in nuclear reactors, including measurements of particle size, compressibility, and the production of graphite bricks for reactor linings.
Versatile Applications: Albany graphite is also being evaluated for its potential use in lithium-ion battery anodes and as a cathode conductivity additive, highlighting its versatility and positioning it as a candidate for multiple high-growth markets.
