AZoCleantech reports that in preliminary electrical conductivity testing, AGCs DEXDG conductivity-enhanced, diluent product significantly outperformed TIMCAL TIMREX KS4 premium primary synthetic graphite and Superior Graphite premium-quality natural flake graphite, both commercially available conductivity-enhanced products.
DEXDG is a form of processed natural crystalline flake graphite with improved electrical conductivity in electrode matrixes for Li-ion (secondary or rechargeable), lithium (primary or non-rechargeable) and alkaline battery cells. Additionally, DEXDG is preferable to conventional air-milled flake or premium-quality synthetic graphite when higher conductivity properties are desired, such as applications with high discharge rates.
AGCs graphite deposit is from its flagship, 100%-owned Coosa Graphite Project located in Coosa County, Alabama, USA, and is purified via the Company propriety, low-temperature thermal purification process. AGCs environmentally responsible and sustainable graphite purification process does not utilize acids that are commonly regarded as dangerous and environmentally harmful (e.g. hydrofluoric acid, as is commonly used in Chinese graphite production (source is Benchmark Mineral Intelligence, 2017), using hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, nitric acids, or alkali roasting, caustic-soda roasting, etc.), nor does the process require excessive water or costly, energy-intensive, high-temperature thermal upgrading.
Readers are cautioned that AGC is not yet in production and there is no guarantee that the Company will advance to full-scale production. If, following the completion of a Feasibility Study, which has not yet been commenced, AGC is able to advance the Coosa Graphite Project into mining, production, and processing, the resulting graphite would be a product of the U.S.
