The effects of the viscosity of CMC on the flotation recovery of graphite and LFPs were investigated, and the results are shown in Fig. 3. The viscosities of CMC-1, CMC-2, and CMC-3 were 1000, 75, and 25 mPa·s at 25°C (2% in H 2 O), respectively. High- viscosity CMC (CMC-1) showed strong inhibition on both graphite and LFPs in …
The graphite used in battery anodes is typically a form of high-grade purified flake graphite, which has a layered structure that allows for the intercalation of lithium ions during charging and discharging cycles. Since graphite is naturally hydrophobic, flotation beneficiation is the most utilized enrichment technique for upgrading.
