Distribution of graphite materials in foreign countries besides domestic
We have talked about the two important places of graphite in China. Besides China, there are also many graphite materials abroad. Let's talk about India, Brazil and Australia. (1) India is the world's second largest producer of natural graphite, but its output of 120000 tons is only one seventh of that of China. In China, it mainly focuses on casting and crucible consumption. The main production states are Orissa and Rajasthan, Andhra, Bihar, Gujarat and Tamil Nadu, which also produce natural graphite. Orissa's production accounts for 65-75% of all India. The main graphite operators in Orissa include Agrawal graphite industries, whose ore occurrences in ganjaudar and temrimal are produced; TP minerals PVT Ltd. the ore occurrences are near phulbani, madagudarf and sargipali. Both enterprises produce flake graphite and powder products. (2) Brazil; & nbsp; & nbsp; National de graphite LTDA is the most important producer in Brazil and one of the largest graphite producers in the world. This company mines three large scale graphite deposits in Minas Gerais, with an annual output of 70000 tons of natural graphite. In fact, it provides all natural graphite in Brazil. Near the ore occurrence, it has three processing plants: Salto Da divisa, Pedra Azul and ltapecerica. These three plants are not far from the following major ports: Rio de Janeiro, Santos, Victoria and El Salvador. Its product series includes "graflake", which is used for magnesia carbon refractories, aluminum carbon refractories and crucibles; "Grafine", for refractory materials, brake linings and brake pads and pencil applications; There is also "micrograf", which is used for carbon brushes and special lubricants. Another important graphite producer in Brazil is grafita mg LTDA, which is also located in Minas Gerais, Brazil. (3) Australia & nbsp; & nbsp; Australia is a potential future graphite producer, but there is no production yet. The most promising areas are South Australia and Western Australia. Eagle Bay resource NL is a mineral exploration enterprise. The company owns the uley graphite mine, which is 23 kilometers north of Lincoln port in South Australia. Wulei owns 3.77 million tons of minerals containing 7.4% graphite and 2.44 million tons of minerals containing 13.7% graphite. The deposit is next to the processing plant. The equipment of the plant is in the process of maintenance since the suspension of operation in April 1993. The reason for its closure is mainly that the world graphite price is very low. Drilling is expected to start soon& nbsp; Another well proven resource is the coarse scale graphite deposit of Menglin AP, which is located in the area of Menglin AP River, 5km west of Esperance, Western Australia. Its final owner is sons of Gwalia, a producer of lithium concentrate. The deposit was mined in 1956. It is estimated that it has 1.4 million tons of minerals, an average carbon content of 18.2%, and a deposit thickness of 55 meters. At present, the business of Menglin ARPU is temporarily suspended because of the low price of graphite since the 1990s.
