Scale up Production of Graphite and Carbon Fibers from Carbon Ore and Coal Refuse

Project: Research

Project Details

Description

The objective of this field work proposal is to develop and demonstrate processes for scaling up the production of graphite and carbon fibers from carbon ore, coal refuse, and waste streams associated with previous coal mining activities. The proposed work builds up on the results obtained by ORNL in FWP FEAA153, which demonstrated the feasibility of using coal char, obtained by the mild gasification of Blue Gem coal, for fabricating anodes for lithium-ion batteries, and on current work by ORNL and the University of Kentucky as part of FWP FEAA155, establishing processing-structure-properties relationships for carbon fibers derived from carbon ore.
