Fossil free Graphite production with Molten iron graphitization of biomass
M-Graphite
Graphite finds extensive application across various industries. Its demand has surged notably due to application of lithium-ion battery production. The need for graphite is also set to soar owing to the shift towards fossil-free steel production, driven by the increased adoption of the EAF (Electrical Arc Furnace) process. Presently, all utilized graphite originates from natural graphite mines or fossil-based artificial production. Using local available carbon precursors to make synthetics graphite might be best approaching. In this project, a process based catalytic graphitization is proposed. The application of produced graphite for anode in lithium battery, anode for EAF, and casting powder will be assessed together with industrial partners including Swerim, SSAB, Uddeholm AB, Envigas AB, Tokai Erftcarbon GmbH
