Process for a gasification of graphite

Patent ·
OSTI ID:6566608
A graphite can be easily and completely gasified by soaking the graphite in a catalyst solution of a nitrate of a gasification catalyst selected from the group consisting of cobalt, nickel and iron and nitric acid to impregnate the graphite with the gasification catalyst and then gasifying the thus catalyst-impregnated graphite at temperatures above 1000/sup 0/ C. And further a graphite can be easily and completely gasified by soaking the graphite in a catalyst solution of cobalt nitrate, sodium nitrate and nitric acid to add the mixing catalyst of cobalt and sodium to the graphite uniformly and then gasifying the thus catalystadded graphite at temperatures below 900/sup 0/ C.
