Kenya Graphite Mining Crusher Plant

Zenith is world leading supplier and manufacturer of crushing plant. Mining began to extract ore crushing, preparing for further activities to recover the value of graphite. Fragmentation is the overall stage of graphite mining operations. We also customized broken production according to specific conditions and requirements.

Graphit Deposit and Application

Graphite is a natural form of carbon characterized by its hexagonal crystalline structure. It is extracted using both open pit and underground mining methods. Although the naturally occurring ore is abundantly found and mined in many countries, including the Kenya, the largest producer of graphite is South Korea, followed by Austria. Natural graphite finds enormous applications in coatings, pencils, batteries, powder metal, castings and lubricants, depending upon the flake characteristic, which is determined by geology and the extraction and purification process employed.

Graphit Mining Technique

Around the world, graphite is mined using two techniques: the open pit method (surface quarrying) and the underground method. Natural graphite is classified into flake or microcrystalline graphite, macrocrystalline graphite, and vein or lump graphite based on its underlying physical and chemical properties.
