Improved Flotation of Fine Flake Graphite Using a Modified …
Natural graphite ore can be easily purified by froth flotation due to its natural hydrophobicity [3,4,5,6]. Flake graphite exhibits a stronger hydrophobicity and is more floatable than amorphous graphite [7,8,9,10,11,12]. As illustrated in Figure 1, graphite beneficiation generally consists of a multistage grinding and flotation process [13,14].

Purification, application and current market trend of natural graphite
However, flake graphite is much more appropriate for many practical applications [35]. Crystalline flake graphite, Plumbago, is a plate-like particle with a hexagonal structure with irregular fragmented edge [36,37]. Flake graphite is commercially classified into coarse flake (150– 850 mm in diameter) and fine flake (45–150 mm in diameter).
