Where do we get graphite?
Where do we get graphite? Graphite is most often found as flakes or crystalline layers in metamorphic rocks such as marble, schist's and gneisses. Graphite may also be found in organic-rich shale's and coal beds. How graphite is produced? How is Graphite Made? Synthetic graphite is made by heating a variety of carbon containing substances (including petrochemicals, pitch, coal or acetylene). When super-heated (to temperatures higher than 4000°C) the carbon atoms rearrange themselves into layers to form graphite. How is graphite formed in nature? Graphite is formed by the metamorphosis of sediments containing carbonaceous material, by the reaction of carbon...
