Canada Carbon Miller Graphite Qualifying as Feedstock for Production of Graphene Nano-Platelets

Canada Carbon Inc. (TSXV:CCB) announced market development update for its flagship Miller hydrothermal high-purity graphite project. Canada Carbon is in the final stages of qualifying its very high purity thermally treated graphite (99.9998% carbon) as potential feedstock for the production of non-oxide graphene nano-platelets, in partnership with Celtig LLC, a producer of mechanically exfoliated, high quality graphene products.
As quoted in the press release:

Celtig employs a high efficiency, low temperature process using only benign chemicals that can be almost entirely recycled for further use. This stands in stark contrast to oxidative exfoliation, which requires large amounts of strong acids, oxidizers, and reductant chemicals to produce reduced graphene oxide (“RGO”). RGO production must be conducted under temperature-controlled conditions to reduce the risk of explosion, and generates large amounts of chemical waste.
Celtig was founded in 2015 by Professors Brian Edwards and Bamin Khomami, Dr. Lu Liu, retired Dean of Engineering, Fred Tompkins, and Nick Ciparro, to commercialize the patent-pending high-efficiency graphite-exfoliation technology developed by company principals, which allows process yields as high as 90%. Celtig has established a distribution network through its partnership with The GrapheneSource LLC (www.thegraphenesource.com), to provide efficient logistical support. Celtig benefits from its natural partnership with the University of Tennessee at Knoxville, the home institution of the company founders, that enables a synergistic collaboration between academic research and industrial applications which provides Celtig a distinct advantage over most other graphene producers.

Canada Carbon Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, R. Bruce Duncan, stated:

As noted in our recently filed Preliminary Economic Assessment for the Miller Project, the highest quality graphene requires the best precursor graphite, both in terms of crystal morphology and overall purity. After six months of mutual efforts, we are pleased to have our Miller ultra high purity graphite recognized in this way by Celtig LLC, which is not only a world-leading graphene producer, but is also a significant supporter of research into commercial applications for the graphene that they produce.
