Second, each natural graphite particle consists of several monocrystalline grains [46, 50]. Our observations suggest that oxidizing species enter the particles at the edges of the monocrystals, but not only at the edge of the particles. The size of the monocrystals in the two used natural graphite sources must be similar. ... The …

The statistical evaluation of graphite's volume content shows minor sedimentation in sample G_0 and a lack of it in samples G_0.5 and G_1.0 (Table 3). Therefore, the range of optimal silica ...

Sedimentation experiments were performed to study the adhesion of microcrystalline graphite and quartz to magnetite particles. The results showed that hydrophobized magnetite led to a higher microcrystalline graphite recovery than that of the original magnetite, due to the higher probability to bond with microcrystalline graphite.
