Preferred Label : catalytic graphitization;
IUPAC definition : The transformation of non-graphitic carbon into graphite by heat treatment in the
presence of certain metals or minerals.;
Scope note : catalytic graphitization gives a fixed degree of graphitization at lower temperature
and/or for a shorter heat treatment time than in the absence of the catalytic additives
(or a higher degree of graphitization at fixed heat treatment conditions). often it
involves dissolution of carbon and precipitation of graphite at the catalyst particles
so that non-graphitizing carbons can be graphitized by this procedure.;
Origin ID : C00894;
