Carbon, Graphite and Graphene
Carbon is a versatile material with many uses, carbon cycle,
Carbon Products, Diamonds, battery technology, recycling
carbon based fuels such as
coal
heat thermal power
Carbon & Graphite
Carbon & Graphite
Products
in both a crystalline and non-crystalline forms
Carbon reinforcing filler in tires, rubber and plastics, color pigment, inks, photocopier and laser printer toner,
The electrical industry utilizes carbon and graphite
electrodes, carbon brushes, electronic components and carbon blocks.
Carbon filtration media, used for water purification, air filtering and industrial gas processing
Carbon Fiber
Carbon
Fibers
are used in producing composites and advanced engineered products,
Exiting new uses of carbon nonotubes, allotropes of carbon, buckey balls C60 helical
Carbon nanotubes carbon Nanoparticles and graphene are opening some untapped potential uses of carbon compounds.
Graphene
New technologies are being used as a different approach to traditional energy storage in
batteries using innovative materials like graphene. Graphene is a sheet of carbon in the form of a
single layer of atoms in a two-dimensional hexagonal honeycomb lattice in which one atom occupies each vertex.
Graphene is a potent conductor of electrical and thermal energy. It is extremely lightweight, chemically inert and flexible.
A graphene battery is light, durable and suitable for superior energy storage capacity.
Graphene formed into a thin film material can be stacked or layered together into modules,
giving this material a high capacity for energy storage and the ability to quickly charge and discharge.
The flexibility of the graphene film material allows it to be constructed into any shape or size opening up the
possibilities of where the unit can be placed while still storing tremendous amounts of energy.
Diamonds
Natural and Synthetic (man made) Diamonds are formed by carbon atoms being bonded into a crystal structure.
Diamonds with minimal impurities and defects are used in the jewelry industry.
Industrial diamonds are widely used in industries as an abrasive for the cutting and grinding of very hard materials. Small diamonds particles are embedded into cutting tools giving them a high grinding efficiency, high wear resistance and long life span.
Industrial diamonds are also used for optical devices, such as lasers,
Prisms & Refractory materials for light refraction/dispersion and heat dissipation, and in medical therapies and treatments.
Carbon Recycling
Carbon Recovery / Carbon Recycling, is the physical carbon recovery from waste materials that contain Carbon or Graphite.
Carbon Cycle
A simplified view of the carbon cycle,
plants absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and convert through process known as
carbon fixation or photosynthesis into biomass or plant building material and expel oxygen.
Humans and animals breath in oxygen and eat plants and exhale carbon dioxide and expel organic waste.
Decaying biomass and organic wastes are converted over time into all organic compounds and
carbon and hydrocarbon bases such as
coal
oil & gas.
The amount of carbon in the atmosphere seems to maintain a balance and is cycled
threw various compounds to moderate the earths temperature.
