Graphite SM 00 - SM IGraphite products from the company Grafitové doly Staré Mesto, a.s. in classes SM 00 - SM I, are manufactured according to CSN 72 1550 in the flotation mill in Malé Vrbno at Staré Mesto from the raw material of the deposit KONSTANTIN. 1. Classification enlistment of graphite from the location of KONSTANTIN1.1.Graphite from the location of KONSTANTIN belong to the transition type graphite between clearly crystalline (0.001 mm) and crypto-crystalline (0.01 mm). Using a electroscope it was verified that even the smallest particles exhibit a crystalline character /Tacl, Slačík, Bluml 1974/. Graphite aggregates with an uneven aggregate area in the sizes from macro to submicroscopic lamellar or plate structures are tipical. With regards to the classification of graphite no. stated by V. Kříž /1972/, the raw material from the location KONSTANTIN corresponds to crystalline graphite, partially to fine crystalline graphite (up to the limit of 0.050 mm), partially to the coarsely crystalline (above the limit of 0.50 mm), with a share of crypto-crystalline graphite (under 0.001 mm) /Kmošťák a kol. 1973/. The graphite concentrate is a mix of the stated types. According to the latest analysis, the medium size of the crystals (aggregates) is 0.08 mm. 1.2.Development wise, it is a matter of a metamorphic graphite deposit, which occurred during the regional metamorphosis into graphite carbon of the rich rocks, whose rock-forming minerals participate in the composition of the graphite raw material (stock) and also the product. 2. Spectral analysis /Kmošták a kol./
3. Chemical analysis3.1. Stock
The stated chemical analysis resembles the average type of raw material
from the KONSTANTIN deposit. 4. ConclusionGraphite concentrates class SM 00 - SM I are with regards to mineralogy classified as heterogeneous mix of graphite, which includes the size of the crystalline specimens (aggregates) in the range from crypto-crystalline to fine crystalline with a medium crystals (aggregates) size of 0.08 mm. The silicate remains up to 100% is composed of rock- forming minerals of the mother rock (para - gneiss, graphite slate), where the main parts are flint, spar, hornblende and mica (see the chemical composition according to the table 3.1.). The volatile ingredients are resembled by SO3, whose amount depends on the pyrite (Fe S2) in the stock and thereby also in the product.
