estwork on International Graphite’s Springdale graphite project in Western Australia has delivered promising results for the company.
Micronising and spheroidising (milling) testwork explored various process circuit options, resulting in two spheroidised graphite products – SpG18 and SpG11 – with yields reaching up to 76%.
Purification testing achieved an impressive 99.99% yield, surpassing the industry standard of 99.97% for high-purity anode material.
David Pass, International Graphite’s technical director, noted, “The testing aimed to optimise milling processes to boost output. The results are very encouraging and suggest there’s considerable potential to exceed the projections of our initial scoping study. The purification findings confirm that Springdale graphite meets the purity levels required for producing active anode materials.”
